O, how good it is to be blessed

Author: Anon. Appears in 185 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: EMERALD GATES

When on Life a Darkness Falls

Author: Brian Wren (1936- ) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal 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 Used With Tune: EMERALD GATES
