Who are these arrayed in white

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 154 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who are these arrayed in white, Brighter than the noon-day sun? Foremost of the sons of light, Nearest the eternal throne? These are they that bore the cross, Nobly for their Master stood; Sufferers in His righteous cause, Followers of the Lamb of God. 2 Out of great distress they came, Washed their robes by faith below In the blood of yonder Lamb, Blood that washes white as snow; Therefore are they next the throne, Serve their Maker day and night; God resides among His own, God doth in His saints delight. 3 More than conquerors at last, Here they find their trials o'er; They have all their sufferings past, Hunger now and thirst no more; God shall all their sorrows chase, All their wants at once remove, Wipe the tears from every face, Fill up every soul with love.

Open, Lord, thy bounteous hand; Bless Thy people, bless our land. 3 Let our rulers ever be Men that love and honor Thee; Let the powers by Thee ordained Be in righteousness maintained.

Jacob's Ladder

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: If the Lord our leader be Lyrics: 1 If the Lord our leader be, We may follow without fear; East or west, by land or sea, Home, with Him, is everywhere: When from Esau Jacob fled, Tho’ his pillow was a stone, And the ground his humble bed, Yet he was not left alone. 2 Kings are often waking kept, Racked with cares on beds of state; Never king like Jacob slept, For he lay at Heaven’s gate: Lo! he saw a ladder reared, Reaching to the heav’nly throne; At the top the Lord appeared, Spoke and claimed him for His own. 3 Fear not, Jacob, thou art Mine, And My presence with thee goes; On thy heart My love shall shine, And My arm subdue thy foes: From My promise comfort take, For My help in trouble call; Never will I thee forsake, ’Till I have accomplished all. 4 Well does Jacob’s ladder suit To the Gospel throne of grace; We are at the ladder’s foot, Every hour, in every place: By assuming flesh and blood, Jesus Heav’n and earth unites; We by faith ascend to God, God to dwell with us delights. 5 They who know the Savior’s name, Are for all events prepared; What can changes do to them, Who have such a guide and guard? Should they traverse earth around, To the ladder still they come; Every spot is holy ground, God is there—and He’s their home, Used With Tune: ST.
