What Will It Be to Be There?

With its streets and its buildings so rare;
With its glories untold, in its bright, golden ray,
Oh, what will it be to be there?
Refrain:
Glory, glory, hallelujah!
While eternity prolong;
All the saints in heaven’s kingdom
Singing one celestial song.
2 In the city of love, in that land far above,
Where the saints, all immortal and fair,
Are uniting their voices in anthems of love,
Oh, what will it be to be there? [Refrain]
3 In that city above there’s a mansion for me,
Which my Savior has gone to prepare;
With the angels in heaven my soul soon shall be,
Oh, what will it be to be there? [Refrain]
4 Oh, the Lamb is the light of that heavenly home,
And they need not the sunbeams so fair;
There the darkness and shadows of night never come,
Oh, what will it be to be there?

What Will It Be to Be There?
They Did Not Build in Vain
Author: Alan Luff (1928-) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:10 Lyrics: 1 They did not build in vain
who founded here a church
as witness to God's love
amid a world of pain,
for still, to those who wish to see,
this place proclaims God's mystery.
2 They built upon the rock
that is the risen Lord,
the one foundation laid
which stands each earthly shock;
that, Spirit filled, we here might raise,
as living temples, prayer and praise.
3 Those who have loved this place,
a cloud of witnesses,
surround and urge us on
as we now run our race,
and so we lay aside each sin
in our desire to strive and win.
4 Though the horizon's bend
conceals the way ahead,
the footprints on the road
show Christ waits at the end;
in him alone our faith shall stand
who waits for us at God's right hand.
5 In every place our world
is storm and tempest tossed;
the flames of fear and hate
are evil's flags unfurled;
yet still the Spirit's wind and fire
pour gifts for service in this hour.
6 Here is our meeting place,
where doubt finds grounds of faith;
where hurt finds healing love,
our penitence your grace;
where bridging time to eternity
is God the holy Trinity. Topics: Aniversary of Parish/Church; Church Used With Tune: LITTLE CORNARD

All Men Living Are But Mortal
Author: J. G. Albinus, 1624-1679; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878; Unknown Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21 Lyrics: 1 All men living are but mortal
and will surely fade as grass;
only through death's gloomy portal
to eternal life we pass.
When this body here has perished,
then will heav'nly joys be cherished
where the saints, in glorious dress,
live and reign in righteousness.
2 Therefore, when my God shall choose it,
willingly I'll yield my life,
nor will grieve that I should lose it,
with its sorrow, pain, and strife.
In my dear Redeemer's merit
peace has found my troubled spirit,
and in death my comfort this:
Jesus' death my source of bliss.
3 Jesus for my sake descended
my salvation to obtain:
death and hell for me are ended,
peace and hope are now my gain.
With great joy I leave earth's sadness
for the home of heav'nly gladness,
where I shall forever see
God, the Holy Trinity.
4 There is joy beyond our telling,
where so many saints have gone;
thousands, thousands, there are dwelling,
worshiping before the throne.
There the angel hosts are shining,
evermore in chorus joining:
"Holy, holy, holy, Lord!
Triune God, by all adored!"
5 Patriarchs of sacred story
and the prophets there are found;
twelve apostles, bright with glory,
on twelve seats are there enthroned.
All the saints are there ascended
age on age, through time extended,
there in blissful concert sing
hallelujahs to their King.
6 O Jerusalem, how glorious
are your heav'nly mansions fair!
I can hear the tones victorious
ever sweetly sounding there.
Oh, the bliss that there surprises!
Look, my soul, the sun now rises,
and the breaking day I see
that shall never end for me.
7 Now I see what here was told me,
see that wondrous glory shine,
feel the spotless robes enfold me,
know a golden crown is mine.
Thus before the throne so glorious
now I stand, a soul victorious,
filled with purest joy and peace
that in Christ shall never cease. Topics: Hope and Comfort Used With Tune: JESU, MEINES LEBENS LEBEN

God's glory breaks like dawn.
For though the earth be cloaked in night
and gloom shrouds everyone,
yet over you the Lord will rise,
with glory gleaming clear,
till nations turn to seek your light
and humbled kings draw near.
2 Fling wide your gates, both day and night;
no more keep watch or guard.
You will be called God's holy hill,
the city of the Lord.
No sound of strife will plague your land,
nor harm besiege your ways;
"Salvation" will you name your walls,
and all your portals "Praise."
3 No more will you implore the sun
to shed by day its light,
nor will you need the changeful moon
to glisten through the night.
Your glory then will be your God,
whose light will never cease.
Rise up and shine! Your light has come
to give you joy and peace. Topics: Epiphany (season); Jesus Christ, Light; Light; The New Jerusalem; Christmas Used With Tune: PETER'S BROOK
