Come, all ye mourning pilgrims dear
Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics:
1.
Come, all ye mourning pilgrims dear,
Who're bound for Canaan's land,
Take courage and fight valiantly,
Stand fast with sword in hand;
Our Captain's gone before us,
Our Father's only Son,
Then, pilgrims dear, pray, do not fear,
But let us follow on.
2.
We have a howling wilderness,
To Canaan's happy shore,
A land of dearth, and pits, and snares,
Where chilling winds do roar.
But Jesus will be with us,
And guard us by the way;
Though enemies examine us,
He'll teach us what to say.
3.
The pleasant fields of paradise,
So glorious to behold,
The valleys clad in living green,
The mountains paved with gold:
The trees of life with heavenly fruit,
Behold how rich they stand
Blow, gentle gales, and bear my soul
To Canaan's happy land.
4.
Sweet rivers of salvation all
Through Canaan's land do roll,
The beams of day bring glittering scenes
Illuminate my soul;
There's ponderous clouds of glory,
All set in diamonds bright;
And there's my smiling Jesus,
Who is my heart's delight.
5.
Already to my raptured sight,
The blissful fields arise,
And plenty spreads her smiling stores,
Inviting to my eyes.
O sweet abode of endless rest,
I soon shall travel there,
Nor earth nor all her empty joys
Shall long detain me here.
6.
Come, all you pilgrim travelers,
Fresh courage take by me;
Meantime I'll tell you how I came,
This happy land to see;
Through faith the glorious telescope
I viewed the worlds above,
And God the Father reconciled,
Which fills my heart with love.

Por fe en Él recibí.

Decir: "Venid, bebed;
Yo soy la fuente de salud
Que apaga toda sed."

Y ahora vivo en Él.
3 Oí su dulce voz decir:
"Del mundo soy la luz;
Miradme a Mí, os salvaré;
Hay vida por mi cruz."

Por siempre viviré. Topics: La Vida Cristiana Invitación; Cuaresma; Santa Comunión; Fe; Cruz y Consuelo; Cross and Comfort; Closing; Faith; The Christian Life Invitation; Holy Communion Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI

The People Came from Everywhere
Author: Mary Nelson Keithahn Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics:
The people came from everywhere
to hear the Teacher's news.
The blind, the lame, the poor were there,
encouraged by his views.
But those who brought the children near
were quickly sent away:
“The Teacher's far too busy now.
Don't bother him today."
When Jesus saw the children turn,
their faces long and glum,
he told his friends, "When will you learn
that little ones must come?"
He chided them indignantly,
"God's love can't be denied!
Let all the children come to me
and sit here at my side."
"The holy realm of God belongs
to children such as these,
who trust that God will right all wrongs,
forgive, and bring us peace.
If you would also now receive
the love that never ends,
come as a trusting child, believe
in all that God intends."
As once you took your hands and blessed
the children on their way,
now bless us, Jesus, in our quest
to find your love, we pray.
We long to feel your warm embrace,
and hear your kindly word,
that in the presence of your grace
our faith might be assured.

How Happy Every Child of Grace
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Funeral Hymns #2 (1759) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How happy every child of graceWho knows his sins forgiven!This earth, he cries, is not my place,I seek my place in heaven:A country far from mortal sight;Yet, O! By faith I seeThe land of rest, the saints’ delight,The heaven prepar’d for me.2 A stranger in the world below,I calmly sojourn here,Nor can its happiness or woeProvoke my hope or fear:Its evils in a moment end,Its joys as soon are past;But, O! The bliss to which I tendEternally shall last.3 To that Jerusalem aboveWith singing I repair,While in the flesh, my hope and love,My heart and soul are there:There my exalted Saviour stands,My merciful high-priest,And still extends his wounded handsTo take me to his breast.4 What is there here to court my stay,To hold me back from home,While angels beckon me away,And Jesus bids me come?Shall I regret my parted friendsStill in the vale confin’d?Nay, but whene’er my soul ascends,They will not stay behind.5 The race we all are running now,And if I first attain,They too their willing head shall bow,They too the prize shall gain:Now on the brink of death we stand,And if I pass before,They all shall soon escape to land,And hail me on the shore.6 Then let me suddenly remove,That hidden life to share;I shall not lose my friends above,But more enjoy them there.There we in Jesus’ praise shall join,His boundless love proclaim,And solemnize in songs divineThe marriage of the Lamb.7 O what a blessed hope is ours!While here on earth we stay,We more than taste the heavenly powers,And antedate that day:We feel the resurrection near,Our life in Christ conceal’d,And with his glorious presence hereOur earthen vessels fill’d.8 O would he more of heaven bestow,And let the vessel break,And let our ransom’d spirits goTo grasp the God we seek:In rapturous awe on him to gazeWho bought the sight for me,And shout and wonder at his graceThro’ all eternity.Charles Wesley, Funeral Hymns No. 2 (1759) Languages: English

Al coro celestial,
Cantemos con los ángeles
Un cántico triunfal;
Y si vertimos lágrimas
Al frente de la cruz,
Rebose hoy el júbilo
Pues vive el buen Jesús.
2 Lo que en el triste Gólgota
Derrota pareció,
En el sellado túmulo
En triunfo se cambió;
Vencido está el báratro,
Menguado su poder;
Nunca el mortal su súbdito
De hoy más habrá de ser.
3 Del Moria allá en la cúspide
Se obró la salvación,
Allí se ostenta el lábaro
De nuestra redención;
Y sueltos ya los vínculos
De la mortalidad,
La tumba abierta es símbolo
De nuestra libertad.
4 Jesús, de gloria príncipe,
Autor de nuestra paz,
Dirígenos benévola
Tu esplendorosa faz;
Y acepta el dulce cántico
De nuestra gratitud
Por tu valioso dádiva
De la eternal salud. Topics: El Año Cristiano Pascua de Resurrección; Resurrección; Christian Year Easter; Resurrection Languages: Spanish Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW

Edmund H. Sears
1810 - 1876 Person Name: Edmund Hamilton Sears, 1810-1876 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Author of "A media noche resonó" in Culto Cristiano Edmund Hamilton Sears was born in Berkshire [County], Massachusetts, in 1810; graduated at Union College, Schenectady, in 1834, and at the Theological School of Harvard University, in 1837. He became pastor of the Unitarian Society in Wayland, Mass., in 1838; removed to Lancaster in 1840; but on account of ill health was obliged to retire from the active duties of the ministry in 1847; since then, residing in Wayland, he devoted himself to literature. He has published several works.
--Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A., 1872
=======================
Sears, Edmund Hamilton, D.D., son of Joseph Sears, was born at Sandisfield, Berkshire County, Massachusetts, April 6, 1810, and educated at Union College, Schenectady, N.Y., where he graduated in 1834; and at the Theological School at Cambridge. In 1838 he became pastor of the First Church (Unitarian) at Wayland, Massachusetts; then at Lancaster in the same State, in 1840; again at Wayland, in 1847; and finally at Weston, Massachusetts, in 1865. He died at Weston, Jan. 14, 1876. He published:—
(1) Regeneration, 1854; (2) Pictures of the Olden Time, 1857; (3) Athanasia, or Foregleams of Immortality, 1858, enlarged ed., 1872; (4) The Fourth Gospel the Heart of Christ; (5) Sermons and Songs of the Christian Life, 1875, in which his hymns are collected. Also co-editor of the Monthly Religious Magazine.
Of his hymns the following are in common use:—
1. Calm on the listening ear of night. Christmas. This hymn was first published in its original form, in the Boston Observer, 1834; afterwards, in the Christian Register, in 1835; subsequently it was emended by the author, and, as thus emended, was reprinted entire in the Monthly Magazine, vol. xxxv. Its use is extensive.
2. It came upon the midnight clear. Christmas.
"Rev. Dr. Morison writes to us, Sears's second Christmas hymn was sent to me as editor of the Christian Register, I think, in December, 1849. I was very much delighted with it, and before it came out in the Register, read it at a Christmas celebration of Dr. Lunt's Sunday School in Quincy. I always feel that, however poor my Christmas sermon may be, the reading and singing of this hymn are enough to make up for all deficiences.'"
3. Ho, ye that rest beneath the rock. Charitable Meetings on behalf of Children. Appeared in Longfellow and Johnson's Hymns of the Spirit, Boston, 1864, in 2 stanzas of 8 lines.
Dr. Sears's two Christmas hymns rank with the best on that holy season in the English language. Although a member of the Unitarian body, his views were rather Swedenborgian than Unitarian. He held always to the absolute Divinity of Christ. [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.]

1819 - 1900 Person Name: Richard Storrs Willis, 1819-1900 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Composer of "CAROL" in Culto Cristiano Richard Storrs Willis (February 10, 1819 – May 10, 1900) was an American composer, notably of hymn music. One of his hymns is "It Came Upon the Midnight Clear" (1850), with lyrics by Edmund Sears. He was also a music critic and journal editor.

Willis then went to Germany, where he studied six years under Xavier Schnyder and Moritz Hauptmann. While there, he became a personal friend of Felix Mendelssohn. After returning to America, Willis served as music critic for the New York Tribune, The Albion, and The Musical Times, for which he served as editor for a time. He joined the New-York American-Music Association, an organization which promoted the work native of naturalized American composers. He reviewed the organization's first concert for their second season, held December 30, 1856, in the Musical World, as a "creditable affair, all things considered".
Willis began his own journal, Once a Month: A Paper of Society, Belles-Lettres and Art, and published its first issue in January 1862.
Willis died on May 7, 1900. His interment was located at Woodlawn Cemetery.

John Bacchus Dykes
1823 - 1876 Person Name: John Bacchus Dykes, 1823-1876 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6.8.6 Composer of "VOX DILECTI" in Culto Cristiano As a young child John Bacchus Dykes (b. Kingston-upon-Hull' England, 1823; d. Ticehurst, Sussex, England, 1876) took violin and piano lessons. At the age of ten he became the organist of St. John's in Hull, where his grandfather was vicar. After receiving a classics degree from St. Catherine College, Cambridge, England, he was ordained in the Church of England in 1847. In 1849 he became the precentor and choir director at Durham Cathedral, where he introduced reforms in the choir by insisting on consistent attendance, increasing rehearsals, and initiating music festivals. He served the parish of St. Oswald in Durham from 1862 until the year of his death. To the chagrin of his bishop, Dykes favored the high church practices associated with the Oxford Movement (choir robes, incense, and the like). A number of his three hundred hymn tunes are still respected as durable examples of Victorian hymnody. Most of his tunes were first published in Chope's Congregational Hymn and Tune Book (1857) and in early editions of the famous British hymnal, Hymns Ancient and Modern.
