See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heav'nly palace gate! Hark! the choir of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! He Who on the cross did suffer, He Who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled His foes. 3 While He raised His hands in blessing, He was parted from His friends; While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends; He Who walked with God and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated, To His everlasting home. 4 Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With His blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before Him quail; Now He plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 5 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine Ascension, We by faith behold our own. Amen.

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: H. T. Schenck; F. E. Cox Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing, These, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark, they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Whence come all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng: These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph by the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will; Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now in God's most holy place Blest they stand before His face. Amen. Topics: All Saints; Burial of the Dead; Processionals Saints' Days Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song

Author: F. R. Havergal Meter: 13.13.13.14 Appears in 64 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From glory unto glory! Be this our joyous song; As on the King's own highway, We bravely march along. From glory unto glory! O word of stirring cheer, As dawns the solemn brightness of another glad New Year. 2 From glory unto glory! What great things He hath done, What wonders He hath shown us, what triumphs He hath won! From glory unto glory! What mighty blessings crown The lives for which our Lord laid His own so freely down! 3 The fullness of His blessing encompasseth our way; The fullness of His promises crowns every brightening day; The fullness of His glory is beaming from above, While more and more we learn to know the fullness of His love. 4 And closer yet and closer the golden bonds shall be, Uniting all who love our Lord in pure sincerity; And wider yet and wider shall the circling glory glow, As more and more are taught of God that mighty love to know. 5 Oh, let our adoration for all that He hath done, Peal out beyond the stars of God, while voice and life are one; And let our consecration be real, deep, and true: Oh, even now our hearts shall bow, and joyful vows renew. 6 Now onward, ever onward, from strength to strength we go, While grace for grace abundantly shall from His fullness flow, To glory's full fruition, from glory's foretaste here, Until His very presence crown our happiest New Year. Amen. Topics: The New Year; New Year; Processionals New Year Used With Tune: BERTHOLD

In token that thou shalt not fear

Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. 2 The day is gone, its hours have run, And Thou hast taken count of all, The scanty triumphs grace hath won, The broken vow, the frequent fall. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. 3 Grant us, dear Lord, from evil ways True absolution and release; And bless us, more than in past days, With purity and inward peace. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. 4 For all we love, the poor, the sad, The sinful, unto Thee we call; Oh, let Thy mercy make us glad; Thou art our Saviour, and our all. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. 5 Sweet Saviour, bless us; night is come; Through night and darkness near us be; Good angels watch about our home, And we are one day nearer Thee. Through life's long day and death's dark night, O gentle Jesu, be our light. Amen. Topics: Daily Prayer Evening Used With Tune: ST. MATTHIAS

Thrice happy he who here partakes That sacred stream, that heavenly food. 3 Oh, let Thy table honored be, And furnished well with joyful guests; And may each soul salvation see That here its sacred pledges tastes. 4 Drawn by Thy quickening grace, O Lord, In countless numbers let them come; And gather from their Father's board The bread that lives beyond the tomb. 5 Nor let Thy spreading gospel rest, Till through the world Thy truth has run; Till with this bread all men be blest, Who see the light or feel the sun.
