Hymnal: The Hymnal 1982 #545 (1985) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a cloud of witnesses
encompass us around!
They, once like us with suffering tried,
are now with glory crowned.
2 Let us, with zeal like theirs inspired,
strive in the Christian race;
and, freed from every weight of sin,
their holy footsteps trace.
3 Behold a Witness nobler still,
who trod affliction's path:
Jesus, the author, finisher,
rewarder of our faith.
4 He, for the joy before him set,
and moved by pitying love,
endured the cross, despised the shame,
and now he reigns above.
5 Thither, forgetting things behind,
press we to God's right hand;
there, with the Savior and his saints,
triumphantly to stand. Topics: Christian Vocation and Pilgrimage Scripture: Hebrews 12:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT
