'Wake, awake! for night is flying'

Author: Catherine Winkworth (1827-1878); Philipp Nicolai (1556-1608) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #278 (2008) Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9 Lyrics: 1 'Wake, awake! for night is flying', the watchmen on the heights are crying. 'Awake, Jerusalem, at last!' Midnight hears the welcome voices, and at the thrilling cry rejoices: 'Come forth, you virgins, night is past! The Bridegroom comes; awake, your lamps with gladness take, Alleluia! and for his marriage feast prepare, for ye must go and meet him there.' 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, and all her heart with joy is springing; she wakes, she rises from her gloom; for the Lord comes down all-glorious, the strong in grace, in truth victorious; her Star is risen, her Light is come! Now come, O blessèd One, God's own belovèd Son, Alleluia! We follow to the festal hall to sup with you, the Lord of all. 3 All the heavens and earth adore you, and saints and angels sing before you, with harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Zion's gates of pearl before us resound as angels sing in chorus and lead us to your dazzling throne. No mortal eye nor ear can comprehend or bear such great glory; but we rejoice and sing the song, Alleluia! through ages long.

As when the weary traveler gains

Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #944 (1873) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 Lyrics: 1 As when the weary traveler gains The height of some o'erlooking hill, His heart revives, if, 'cross the plains, He eyes his home, though distant still. 2 So when the Christian pilgrim views, By faith, his mansion in the skies, The sight his fainting strength renews, And wings his speed to reach the prize. 3 'Tis there, he says, I am to dwell With Jesus in the realms of day; Then shall I bid my cares farewell, And he will wipe my tears away.

He bears our sins upon the tree; he brings us mercy from above. 3 The cross -- it takes our guilt away; it holds the fainting spirit up; it cheers with hope the gloomy day, and sweetens every bitter cup; 4 it makes the coward spirit brave, and nerves the feeble arm for fight; it takes its terror from the grave, and gilds the bed of death with light. 5 The balm of life, the cure of woe, the measure and the pledge of love, the sinner's refuge here below, the angels' theme in heaven above.

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #I.105 (1806) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 First Line: Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard Lyrics: Nor eye hath seen, nor ear hath heard, Nor sense nor reason known, What joys the Father hath prepared For those that love the Son. But the good Spirit of the Lord Reveals a heav'n to come; The beams of glory in his word Allure and guide us home. Pure are the joys above the sky, And all the region peace; No wanton lips nor envious eye Can see or taste the bliss. Those holy gates for ever bar Po lution, sin, and shame None shall obtain admittance there But followers of the Lamb. He keeps the Father's book of life, There all their names are found; The hypocrite in vain shall strive To tread the heav'nly ground Languages: English
