Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A hymn of glory let us sing; New songs thro'out the world shall ring: Christ by a road before untrod, ascendeth to the throne of God. The holy apostolic band upon the Mount of Olives stand, and with the virgin mother see their Lord's resplendent majesty. 2 To them the angels, drawing nigh; "Why stand and gaze upon the sky? This is the Saviour," thus they say; "this is his noble triumph day. Again shall ye behold him so as ye today have seen him go: in glorious pomp ascending high up to the portals of the sky." 3 O grant us thitherward to tend, and with unwearied hearts ascend toward thy kingdom's throne, where thou, as is our faith, art seated now. Be thou our joy and strong defense, who art our future recompense: so shall the light that springs from thee be ours through all eternity.

God's Glory Fills the Heavens (Psalm 19)

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns Lyrics: 1 God’s glory fills the heavens with hymns; the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark; new praises sound from day to day and echo through the knowing dark. Without a word their songs roll on; into all lands their voices run. And with a champion’s strength and grace from farthest heaven comes forth the sun. 2 God’s perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise; its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. Forever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold was ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. 3 God’s servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that word my guide. O cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin: deliver me from selfish pride. Accept my thoughts and words and deeds: let them find favor in your sight. For you alone can make me whole, O Lord, my refuge and my might. Topics: Creation; Dedication and Stewardship; Discipleship; The Word Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: ST. PATRICK

O Lord, You Gave Your Servant John

Author: Joy F. Patterson Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Lord, You gave Your servant John A vision of the world to come: A radiant city filled with light, Where You with us will make Your home; Where neither grief nor pain shall dwell, Since former things have passed away, And where they need no sun nor moon; Your glory lights eternal day. 2 Our cities, Lord, wear shrouds of pain; Beneath our gleaming towers of wealth The homeless crouch in rain and snow, The poor cry out for strength and health. Youth's hope is dimmed by ignorance; Unwilling workers idled stand; Indifference walks unheeding by As hunger stretches out its hand. 3 Come, Lord, make real John's vision fair; Come, dwell with us, make all things new; We try in vain to save our world Unless our help shall come from You. Come, strengthen us to live in love; Bid hatred, greed, injustice cease. Your glory all the light we need, Let all our cities shine forth peace. Scripture: Revelation 21 Used With Tune: ST.
