Great is the Lord our God

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LHTC1918 #243 (1917) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God, And let His praise be great; He makes His churches His abode, His most delightful seat. 2 These temples of His grace, How beautiful they stand! The honors of our native place, And bulwarks of our land. 3 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress; How bright has His salvation shone Through all her palaces! 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold, Where His own sheep have been. 5 In every new distress We’ll to His house repair, We’ll think upon His wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there. Amen. Topics: The Church The Sanctuary Languages: English Tune Title: DURHAM

Here, in Thy Name, eternal God

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: LHTC1918 #244 (1917) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Here, in Thy name, eternal God, We build this earthly house for Thee; O choose it for Thy fixed abode, And guard it from all error free. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling-place, And when Thou hearest, O forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessèd gospel of Thy Son, Still, by the power of His great Name, Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to every heart; In every bosom fix Thy throne.

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: Frances E. Cox; Heinrich Theobald Schenk Hymnal: LHTC1918 #245 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing, These, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark, they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 3 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 4 These, as priests, have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place, Blest they stand before His face. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS

What are these in bright array

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: LHTC1918 #246 (1917) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1What 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, honor, 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, Sealed 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 tears. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE

O happy saints, for ever blest, At Jesus' feet how safe your rest! 2 The saints of God! their wanderings done, No more their weary course they run, No more they faint, no more they fall, No foes oppress, no fears appal. O happy saints, for ever blest, In that dear home how sweet your rest! 3 The saints of God! life's voyage o'er, Safe landed on that blissful shore, No stormy tempests now they dread, No roaring billows lift their head: O happy saints, for ever blest, In that calm haven of your rest! 4 The saints of God their vigil keep, While yet their mortal bodies sleep, Till from the dust they too shall rise And soar triumphant to the skies: O happy saints, rejoice and sing; He quickly comes, your Lord and King. 5 O God of saints! to Thee we cry; O Saviour! plead for us on high; O Holy Ghost! our Guide and Friend, Grant us Thy grace till life shall end; That with all saints our rest may be In that bright Paradise with Thee. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Languages: English Tune Title: REST

Hark! the sound of holy voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: LHTC1918 #248 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Lord, to Thee. Multitudes, which none can number, Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hand. 2 They have come from tribulation, And have washed their robes in blood, Washed them in the Blood of Jesus; Tried they were, and firm they stood; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3 Marching with Thy Cross, their banner, They have triumphed following Thee, the Captain of Salvation, Thee, their Saviour and their King; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 4 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Languages: English Tune Title: SANCTUARY

From all Thy saints in warfare

Thou, Lord, didst win the battle That they might conquerors be; Their crowns of living glory Are lit with rays from Thee. 2 Apostles, prophets, martyrs, And all the sacred throng Who wear the spotless raiment, Who raise the ceaseless song-- For these, passed on before us, Saviour, we Thee adore; And walking in their footsteps, Would serve Thee more and more. 3 Then praise we God the Father, And praise we God the Son, And God the Holy Spirit, Eternal Three in One. Till all the ransomed number Fall down before the throne, And honor, power, and glory Ascribe to God alone. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Languages: English Tune Title: PARADISE
