O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be

Author: Peter Abelard (1079-1142); John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 137 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132 Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be, those endless sabbaths the blessed ones see: crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest: God shall be all and in all ever blest. 2 What are the monarch, the court, and the throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? O that the blest ones, who in it have share, all that they feel could as fully declare! 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, vision of peace, that brings joy evermore; wish and fulfillment can be severed ne'er, nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, we the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing, while for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise thy blessed people eternally raise. 5 Now, in the meantime, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh, seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 6 Low before God with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; praise to the Father, and praise to the Son, praise to the Spirit, with them ever one.

Arm of the Lord, awake, awake

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 78 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:18 Lyrics: 1 Arm of the Lord, awake, awake, Thine own immortal strength put on; With terror clothed, hell's kingdom shake, And cast thy foes with fury down. 2 As in the ancient days, appear; The sacred annals speak thy fame: Be now omnipotently near, To endless ages still the same. 3 Thy arm, Lord, is not shortened now, It wants not now the power to save; Still present with thy people, thou Bear'st them through life's disparted wave. 4 By death and hell pursued in vain, To thee the ransomed seed shall come; Shouting their heavenly Zion gain, And pass through death, triumphant, home. 5 The pain of life shall there be o'er, The anguish and distracting care; There sighing grief shall weep no more, And sin shall never enter there. 6 Where pure, essential joy is found, The Lord's redeemed their heads shall raise, With everlasting goodness crowned, And filled with love, and lost in praise.

O Blessed Rest

Author: E. E. Hewitt Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:14 First Line: O blessed rest in Jesus Refrain First Line: O blessed, blessed rest Lyrics: 1 O blessed rest in Jesus! There’s no other half so sweet, As the peace he freely gives me, When I tarry at his feet. There I tell the sins that grieve me, And his tones like dewdrops fall, “Fear ye not, for I’ve redeemed thee, There is cleansing for them all.” Refrain: O blessed, blessed rest! Leaning on his loving breast, When I’m heart to heart with Jesus, What a blessed, blessed rest! 2 O blessed rest in Jesus! Let me linger at his side, While I tell him all my sorrows, And my joys to him confide. He will never, never weary, For he waits to answer prayer, And he whispers that he loves me, That he careth for my care. [Refrain] 3 O blessed rest in Jesus! How it cheers me, day by day! For he strengthens me for duty, And for service, by the way; And he tells me of the city Where they need no star, no sun; There he’ll give me joyful welcome, When my earthly work is done. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [O blessed rest in Jesus]
