O, how good it is to be blessed
Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #1161 (1886) First Line: Burst, ye emerald gates, and bring Lyrics: 1 Burst, ye emerald gates, and bring
To my raptured vision
All th' ecstatic joys that spring
Round the bright Elysian!
Lo! we lift our longing eyes;
Break, ye intervening skies!
Sons of righteousness, arise!
Ope the gates of paradise?
Chorus: O, how good it is to be blessed,
And dwell where loving Jesus is!
2 Floods of everlasting light
Freely flash before him;
Myriads, with supreme delight,
Instantly adore him;
Angel's trumps resound his fame;
Lutes of lucid gold proclaim
All the music of his name,
Heaven echoing the theme. [Chorus]
3 Four and twenty elders rise
From their princely station;
Shout his glorious victories,
Sing his great salvation;
Cast their crowns before his throne;
Cry, in reverential tone,
"Glory be to God alone,
Holy, holy, holy One!" [Chorus] Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Tune Title: EMERALD GATES

When on Life a Darkness Falls
Author: Brian Wren (1936- ) Hymnal: Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal #631 (1985) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 When on life a darkness falls,
When the mist flows chilling,
Paths and sign posts lost in doubt,
Loveless, unfulfilling,
Reach us, Jesus, from Your cross,
Though we feel forsaken;
Keep us through the aching night
Till new dawns awaken.
2 When the dreams and vows of youth
Painfully accuse us,
Stab our conscience, steal our worth,
Christ will not refuse us:
Peace the world cannot provide,
Daily resurrection,
Strong companion at our side
For each new direction.
3 Come and meet Him, Friend and Lord,
Thro’ the gospel story:
Open door to life and peace,
Window into glory.
All who seek Him, soon are found,
Made His close relation:
Christ our pathway, Christ our home,
Christ our sure foundation. Topics: Christan Life Pilgrimage Tune Title: EMERALD GATES
