Ten Thousand Times ten Thousand

Author: Henry Alford Appears in 439 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished! all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of halleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joys shall sparkle That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home: Show in the heavens Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come!

Schirmer Appears in 74 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, enter in, And in our hearts Thy work begin, Thy temple deign to make us; Sun of the soul, Thou Light divine, Around and in us brightly shine, To joy and gladness wake us. That we to Thee truly living, To Thee giving prayer unceasing, Still may be in love increasing. 2 Give to Thy word impressive power, That in our hearts, from this good hour, As fire it may be glowing; That we confess the Father, Son, And Thee, the Spirit, Three in One, Thy glory ever showing. O stay and sway our souls ever, That they never may forsake Thee, But by faith their refuge make Thee. 3 Thou Fountain whence all wisdom flows, Which God on pious hearts bestows, Grant us Thy consolation, That in our pure faith's unity We faithful witnesses may be, Of grace that brings salvation. Hear us, cheer us by Thy teaching; Let our preaching and our labor Praise Thee, Lord, and bless our neighbor. Topics: Opening Hymns; The Word; Pentecost Used With Tune: AF HÖLHEDEN

Savior, Who Thy Flock art Feeding

Author: William A. Mühlenberg Appears in 371 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, who Thy flock art feeding With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs Thy bosom share. 2 Now, these little ones receiving, Fold them in Thy gracious arm; There, we know, Thy word believing, Only there secure from harm. 3 Never, from Thy presence roving, Let them be the lion's prey; Let Thy tenderness, so loving, Keep them all life's dangerous way. 4 Then, within Thy fold eternal, Let them find a resting-place, Feed in pastures ever vernal, Drink the rivers of Thy grace.

Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, O abide with me. 4 I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. 5 Hold Thou thy cross before my closing eyes; Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies; Heav'n's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
