In Heaven Is Joy and Gladness

Author: J. N. Brun, 1745-1816; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #482 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 First Line: In heav'n is joy and gladness Lyrics: 1 In heav'n is joy and gladness, But while I sojourn here, So often, bowed in sadness, I shed the bitter tear. Here ills, alway prevailing, Distress the Savior's bride; Here mirth is lost in wailing; In heav'n but joys abide. 2 I do not strive for pleasures That fools pursue on earth, I sow in tears for treasures That have more lasting worth. If, when my journey endeth, The sheaves I gather in, The bliss the fool pretendeth I do not yearn to win. 3 For I shall see my Jesus, He is my Hope and Stay; The cross that me oppresses He then shall take away. Then nothing more shall grieve me, And no adversity Shall of my joy bereave me; Soon I shall Jesus see. Topics: Death and Burial; Trinity 16 Languages: English

Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: Common Praise #482 (2000) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, with milk and honey blest, beneath thy contemplation sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not what joys await us there, what radiancy of glory, what bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Sion, conjubilant with song, and bright with many an angel, and all the martyr throng; the Prince is ever with them, the daylight is serene, the pastures of the blessèd are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; and there, from care released, the shout of them that triumph, the song of them that feast; and they, who with their leader have conquered in the fight, for ever and for ever are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessèd country, the home of God's elect! O sweet and blessèd country that eager hearts expect! Jesu, in mercy bring us to that dear land of rest; who art, with God the Father and Spirit, ever blest.

The Church's one foundation

Author: Samuel Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #484 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is his new creation By water and the word: From heaven he came and sought her To be his holy Bride, With his own blood he bought her, And for her life he died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses With every grace endued. 3 *Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest, Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, 'How long?' And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil, and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union With God the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with thee. Topics: The Church Its Mission and Unity; Dedication Festival Languages: English Tune Title: SOMERSTOWN

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: C. Woodsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #485 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of care and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright; On thee the high and lowly, Before th'eternal throne, Sing, "Holy, holy, holy," To the great Three in One. 2 On thee at the Creation The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depth of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heav'n; And thus on thee, most glorious, A three-fold light was giv'n. 3 Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Nebo's mountain, We view our Promised Land; A day of sweet reflection, A day of holy love, A day of resurrection From earth to things above. 4 Today on weary nations The heav'nly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Topics: Christian Freedom; Trinity 17 Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

Thy hand, O God, has guided

Author: Edward Plumptre, 1821-91 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #485 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Thy hand, O God, has guided Thy flock, from age to age; The wondrous tale is written, Full clear, on every page; Our fathers owned thy goodness, And we their deeds record; And both of this bear witness, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 2 Thy heralds brought glad tidings To greatest, as to least; They bade men rise, and hasten To share the great King's feast; And this was all their teaching, In every deed and word, To all alike proclaiming One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 3 Through many a day of darkness, Through many a scene of strife, The faithful few fought bravely To guard the nation's life. Their gospel of redemption, Sin pardoned, man restored, Was all in this enfolded, One Church, one Faith, one Lord. 4 And we, shall we be faithless? Shall hearts fail, hands hang down? Shall we evade the conflict, And cast away our crown? Not so: in God's deep counsels Some better thing is stored; We will maintain, unflinching, One church, one Faith, one Lord. 5 Thy mercy will not fail us, Nor leave thy work undone; With thy right hand to help us, The victory shall be won; And then, by men and angels, Thy name shall be adored, And this shall be their anthem, One Church, one Faith, one Lord.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: S. J. Stone, 1839-1900 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #486 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 The Church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ, her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the Word. From heav'n He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her, And for her life He died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, Yet one o'er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth. One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With ev'ry grace endued. 3 The Church shall never perish! Her dear Lord, to defend, To guide, sustain, and cherish, Is with her to the end. Though there be those that hate her, False sons within her pale, Against both foe and traitor She ever shall prevail. 4 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed, Yet saints their watch are keeping; Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 5 Mid toil and tribulation And tumult of her war She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore, Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest.

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain

Author: John of Damascus, c. 696-c. 754; John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Lutheran Service Book #487 (2006) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness! God has brought His Israel Into joy from sadness. Loosed from Pharoah's bitter yoke Jacob's sons and daughters, Led them with unmoistened foot Through the Red Sea waters. 2 'Tis the spring of souls today: Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days' sleep in death As a sun has risen; All the winter of our sins, Long and dark, is flying From His light, to whom is giv'n Laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright With the day of splendor, With the royal feast of feasts, Comes its joy to render; Comes to gladden faithful hearts Which with true affection Welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection! 4 For today among His own Christ appeared, bestowing His deep peace, which evermore Passes human knowing. Neither could the gates of death Nor the tomb's dark portal Nor the watchers nor the seal Hold Him as a mortal. 5 Alleluia! Now we cry To our King immortal, Who, triumphant, burst the bars Of the tomb's dark portal. Come, you faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness! God has brought His Israel Into joy from sadness! Scripture: Exodus 15:1-21 Languages: English Tune Title: GAUDEAMUS PARITER
