Blessed city, heavenly Salem

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #245b (1958) Topics: The Church The House of God Lyrics: Blessed city, heavenly Salem, Vision dear of peace and love, Who, of living stones upbuilded, Art the joy of heaven above, And, with angel cohorts circled, As a bride to earth dost move! 2 From celestial realms descending, Bridal glory round her shed, To his presence, decked with jewels, By her Lord shall she be led: All her streets, and all her bulwarks, Of pure gold are fashioned. A-men. 3 Bright with pearls her portals glitter, They are open evermore; And, by virtue of his merits, Thither faithful souls may soar Who for Christ's dear Name in this world Pain and tribulation bore. 4 Many a blow and biting sculpture Fashioned well those stones elect, In their places now compacted By the heavenly architect, Who therewith hath willed for ever That his palace should be decked. 5 Laud and honor to the Father; Laud and honor to the Son; Laud and honor to the Spirit; Ever Three and ever One: Consubstantial, co-eternal, While unending ages run. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: URBS BEATA

O Light, from age to age the same

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer, 1840 - 1929 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #247 (1958) Topics: The Church The House of God Lyrics: 1 O Light, from age to age the same, O ever-living Word, Here have we felt thy kindling flame, Thy voice within have heard. 2 Here holy thought and hymn and prayer Have winged the spirit’s powers, And made these walls divinely fair, Thy temple, Lord, and ours. 3 What visions rise above the years, What tender memories throng, Till each eye fills with happy tears, Each heart with happy song! 4 Vanish the mists of time and sense; They come, the loved of yore, And one encircling providence Holds all for evermore. 5 O not in vain their toil, who wrought To build faith’s freer shrine; Nor theirs, whose steadfast love and thought Have watched the fire divine. 6 Burn, holy Fire, and shine more wide! While systems rise and fall, Faith, hope, and charity abide, The heart and soul of all. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. JAMES

Thou, who hast in Zion laid

Great Builder of thy Church below! Now upon Thy servants shine, Who seek Thy praise to show. 2 Earth is Thine; her thousand hills Thy mighty hand sustains; Heaven Thy awful presence fills; O'er all Thy glory reigns: Yet the place of all prepared By regal David's favored son, Thy peculiar blessing shared, And stood thy chosen throne. 3 We, like Jesse's son, would raise A temple to the Lord; Sound throughout its courts His praise, His saving Name record; Dedicate a house to Him Who once, in mortal weakness shrined, Sorrowed, suffered, to redeem, To rescue all mankind. 4 Father, Son, and Spirit, send The consecrating flame; Now in majesty descend, Inscribe the living Name: That great Name by which we live, Now write on this accepted stone; Us into Thy hands receive; Our temple make Thy throne.
