Hark! What Mean Those Holy Voices?

Author: Rev. J. Cawood Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #69 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Hark! what mean those holy voices Lyrics: 1 Hark! what mean those holy voices, Sweetly sounding thro' the skies? Lo! th' angelic host rejoices, Heav'nly Hallelujahs rise. Listen to the wondrous story Which they chant in hymns of joy: "Glory in the hightest, glory! Glory be to God most high!" 2 "Peace on earth, goodwill from heaven, Reaching far as man is found, Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven, Loud our golden harps shall sound. Christ is born, the great Anointed: Heav'n and earth His praises sing; O receive whom God appointed For your prophet, priest, and king. 3 "Hasten, mortals, to adore Him; Learn His Name, and taste His joy; Till in heav'n ye sing before Him, 'Glory be to God most high!'" Let us learn the wondrous story Of our great Redeemer's birth; Spread the brightness of His glory Till it cover all the earth. Topics: Jesus Christ Birth Languages: English Tune Title: DEBENHAM

Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #343 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1. Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Halleluia, halleluia, Halleluia, Lord, to Thee! Multitudes which none can number Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry 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. Now they reign in heav'nly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste forever, Heav'nly truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessed Trinity.

Blessed feasts of blessed Martyrs

Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #824 (2010) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Blessèd feasts of blessèd martyrs, holy days of holy men, with affection’s recollections greet we your return again. 2 Worthy deeds they wrought and wonders, worthy of the name they bore; we with meetest praise and sweetest honour them for evermore. 3 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing, Jesus loved with single heart – thus they glorious and victorious bravely bore the Martyr’s part. 4 Racked with torture, haled to slaughter, fire, and axe, and murderous sword, chains and prison, foes' derision they endured for Christ the Lord. 5 So they passed through pain and sorrow, till they sank in death to rest; earth’s rejected, God's elected, gained a portion with the blest. 6 By contempt of worldly pleasures, and by deeds of valour done, they have reached the land of angels, and with them are knit in one. 7 Made co-heirs with Christ in glory, his celestial bliss they share: may they now before him bending help us onward by their prayer; 8 that, this weary life completed, and its fleeting trials past, we may win eternal glory in our Father’s home at last.
