What are these in bright array

Appears in 378 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What are these in bright array, This innumerable throng, Round the altar night and day, Hymning one triumphant song?-- "Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing, honour, glory, power, Wisdom, riches, to obtain, New dominion every hour." 2 These through fiery trials trod; These from great affliction came; Now before the throne of God, Seal'd with His Almighty Name: Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their dear Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand. 3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, On immortal fruits they feed; Them, the Lamb amidst the throne, Shall to living fountains lead; Joy and gladness banish sighs; Perfect love dispels all fears; And for ever from their eyes, God shall wipe away the tear.

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,012 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love, and praise. 2 O how shall words with equal warmth, The gratitude declare That glows within my ravish'd heart? But Thou canst read it there. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the least a cheerful heart, That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue; And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 6 Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I’ll raise; ut oh! eternity’s too short To utter all Thy praise.

When God of old came down from heaven

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 114 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When God of old came down from heaven, In power and wrath he came' Before His feet the clouds were riven, Half darkness and half flame; 2 But when He came the second time, He came in power and love; softer than gale at morning prime Hover'd His holy Dove. 3 The fires that rush'd on Sinai down In sudden torrents dread, Now gently light, a glorious crown, On every sainted head. 4 And as on Israel's awe-struck ear The voice exceeding loud, The trump, that angels quake to hear, Thrill'd from the deep dark cloud; 5 So, when the Spirit of our God Came down His flock to find, A voice from heaven was heard abroad, A rushing mighty wind. 6 It fills the Church of God; it fills The sinful world around; Only in stubborn hearts and wills No place for it is found. 7 Come Lord, come Wisdom, Love, and Power, Open our ears to hear; Let us not miss the accepted hour; Save, Lord, by love or fear.

Once more, O Lord, Thy sign shall be

Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once more, O Lord, Thy sign shall be Upon the heavens display'd, And earth and its inhabitants Be terribly afraid: For, not in weakness clad, Thou com'st, Our woes, our sins to bear, But girt with all Thy Father's might, His judgment to declare. 2 The terrors of that awful day O who can understand? Or who abide, when Thou in wrath Shall lift Thy holy hand? The earth shall quake, the sea shall roar, The sun in heaven grow pale; But Thou hast sworn, and wilt not change, Thy faithful shall not fail. 3 Then grant us, Saviour, so to pass Our time in trembling here, That when upon the clouds of heaven Thy glory shall appear, Uplifting high our joyful heads, In triumph we may rise, And enter, with Thine angel train, Thy palace in the skies.

Once the angel started back

Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Once the angel started back, When he saw the blood-stain'd door, Pausing on his vengeful track, And the dwelling passing o'er. Once the sea from Israel fled, Ere it roll'd o'er Egypt's dead. 2 Now our Passover is come, Dimly shadow'd in the past, And the very paschal lamb, Christ the Lord, is slain at last. then the hearts and hands made meet, Our unleaven'd bred we'll eat. 3 Blessed Victim sent from heaven, Whom all angel hosts obey, To Whose will all earth is given, At Whose word hell shrinks away, Thou hast conquer'd death's dread strive, Thou hast brought us light and life.

The Son of God goes forth to war

Appears in 846 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war, A kingly crown to gain; His blood-red banner streams afar: Who follows in His train? Who best can drink his cup of woe, Triumphant over pain; Who patient bears his cross below, He follows in His train. 2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye Could pierce beyond the grave; Who saw his Master in the sky, And called on Him to save: Like Him, with pardon on his tongue In midst of mortal pain, He prayed for them that did the wrong: Who follows in His train? 3 A glorious band, the chosen few On whom the Spirit came: Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew, And mock'd the cross and flame. They met the tyrant's brandish'd steel, The lion's gory mane; They bow'd their necks the death to feel: Who follows in their turn? 4 A noble army, men and boys, The matron and the maid, Around the Saviour's throne rejoice, In robes of light array'd. They climb'd the steep ascent of heaven Through peril, toil, and pain: O God to us may grace be given To follow in their train. Topics: Other Holy Days

Hallelujah to the lamb Who hath bought us our pardon; We'll prise Him again When we pass over Jordan. 3 O Jesus! ride onward, Triumphantly glorious; O'er sin, death, and hell Thou'rt more than victorious; Thy Name is the theme Of the great congregation, While angles and saints Raise the shout of salvation. Hallelujah to the lamb Who hath bought us our pardon; We'll prise Him again When we pass over Jordan. 4 With joy shall we stand When escaped to that shore; With our harps in our hand We will praise Him the more; We'll range the sweet fields On the banks of the river, And sing of salvation For ever and ever.

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 252 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To-morrow, Lord, is Thine, Lodged in Thy sovereign hand; And if its sun arise and shine, It shines by Thy command. 2 The present moment flies, And bears our life away; O make Thy servants truly wise, That they may live to-day. 3 Since on this wingèd hour Eternity is hung, Waken, by Thine Almighty power, The aged and the young. 4 One thing demands our care; O be it still pursued, Lest, slighted once, the season fair Should never be renew'd. 5 To Jesus may we fly Swift as the morning light, Lest life's young golden beams should die In sudden, endless night.
