For Thee, O Dear, Dear Country
Author: John M. Neale; Bernard of Morlas Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 272 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Lyrics: 1 For thee, O dear, dear country,
Mine eyes their vigils keep;
For very love, beholding
Thy happy name, they weep.
The mention of thy glory
Is unction to the breast,
And medicine in sickness
And love and life and rest.
2 O one, O only mansion,
O Paradise of joy,
Where tears are ever banished
And smiles have no alloy!
The Lamb is all thy splendor,
The Crucified thy praise;
His laud and benediction
Thy ransomed people raise.
3 With jasper glow thy bulwarks,
Thy streets with em'ralds blaze;
The sardius and the topaz
Unite in thee their rays;
Thine ageless walls are bonded
With amethyst unpriced;
The saints build up thy fabric,
And the corner-stone is Christ.
4 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean;
Thou hast no time, bright day,
Dear fountain of refreshment
To pilgrims far away!
Upon the Rock of Ages
They raise thy holy tower;
Thine is the victor's laurel,
And Thine the golden dower.
5 O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest,
Who art, with God the Father
And Spirit, ever blest.
Amen. Topics: The Last Things Life Everlasting Used With Tune: BONA PATRIA

Blest be the everlasting God
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 189 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Lyrics: 1 Blest be the everlasting God,
the Father of our Lord!
Be his abounding mercy praised,
his majesty adored!
2 When from the dead he raised his Son,
and called him to the sky,
he gave our souls a lively hope
that they should never die.
3 There's an inheritance divine
reserved against that day;
'tis uncorrupted, undefiled,
and cannot fade away.
4 Saints by the power of God are kept,
till that salvation come:
we walk by faith as strangers here,
till Christ shall call us home. Topics: Easter; Easter III Year B; Easter V Year A; Easter V Year C Used With Tune: BURFORD

Let Saints on Earth in Concert Sing
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 175 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:29-40, 12:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Let saints on earth in concert sing
with those whose work is done;
for all the servants of our King
in earth and heaven, are one.
2 One family, we live in him,
one church above, beneath,
though now divided by the stream,
the narrow stream of death.
3 One army of the living God,
to his command we bow;
part of his host have crossed the flood
and part are crossing now.
4 But all unite in Christ their head,
and love to sing his praise:
Lord of the living and the dead,
direct our earthly ways!
5 So we shall join our friends above
who have obtained the prize;
and on the eagle wings of love
to joys celestial rise. Topics: Church; Communion of Saints Used With Tune: DUNDEE Text Sources: Rev. Hymns for Today's Church

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: Hebrews 11:1-3 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. Topics: Communion of Saints Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA
O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be
