Wake, Awake, For Night Is Flying

Author: Philip Nicolai Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #244 (1927) Meter: 8.9.8.9.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Topics: Comfort and Hope Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying: The watchmen on the heights are crying, Awake, Jerusalem arise! Midnight's solemn hour is tolling, His chariot wheels are nearer rolling; He comes, prepare, ye virgins wise. Rise up; with willing feet Go forth, the Bridegroom meet; Hallelujah! Bear thro' the night your well trimm'd light, Speed forth to join the marriage rite. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, Her heart with deep delight is springing, At once she wakes, she hastes away: Forth her Bridegroom hastens glorious, In grace arrayed, by truth victorious; Her grief is joy, her night is day: All hail, incarnate Lord, Our crown, and our reward! Hallelujah! We haste along, in pomp of song, And gladsome join the marriage throng. 3 Hear Thy praise, O Lord, ascending From tongues of men and angels, blending With harp and lute and psaltery. By Thy pearly gates in wonder We stand, and swell the voice of thunder, In bursts of choral melody: No vision ever brought, No ear hath ever caught, Such bliss and joy: We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along.

Like Thousand Mountains Brightly Crowned

Author: H. A. Brorson Hymnal: Hymnal for Church and Home #245 (1927) Topics: Comfort and Hope Lyrics: 1 Like thousand mountains brightly crowned, With groves of swaying palms around, We see a throng of ev'ry tongue In snow-white mantles gowned. These are the heroes who did go Thro' pains and trials here below. The Lamb of God has with His blood Their robes made white as snow. In heaven now His face they see In never-ending jubilee Where angels sing Before the King The sweetest symphony. 2 Their earthly lot was shame and scorn, But now behold them bright as morn, In priestly gowns, with golden crowns, And glory heaven-born. The world did often them dismay And tears would flow by night and day, But God by grace in His embrace Has wiped all tears away. And now they find where life is best Eternal joy with hearts at rest; The Lamb so dear At fountains clear In Host as well as Guest. 3 Now, hail to you, bright heroes bold, The saints just gone, the saints of old, That unto death ye kept the faith And passed away consoled! Ye counted earthly pleasures cheap, With tears ye sowed and now ye reap The golden grain and see your gain With gladness strong and deep. Lift up your voice and wave your palms, Yea, fill all heaven with your psalms: "All honor be Eternally To God and to the Lamb!"

I live as a guest in this valley of tears, I live till the beckoning hand appears For which the last barrier falleth. 2 I die, and I know what hour it will be; I die at the hour of His pleasure. I die, and mine eyes my perfection shall see, I die, and my soul from its clay is free And soars to its heavenly treasure. 3 I journey and know just whither I'm bound; I'm bound for the kingdom of heaven. I go where the house of my Father is found, Where jubilant voices with praises sound, And joys to His children are given. 4 I lead now a blessed life in my Lord, I die but to live with Him ever. I journey with faith in my Savior's word, I carry His helmet and Spirit's sword Until He my life-thread shall sever. Languages: English Tune Title: [I live, and I know the span of my years]
