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: Psalm 132 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.

Arm of the Lord, awake, awake

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 132:18 Lyrics: 1 Arm of the Lord, awake, awake, Thine own immortal strength put on; With terror clothed, hell's kingdom shake, And cast thy foes with fury down. 2 As in the ancient days, appear; The sacred annals speak thy fame: Be now omnipotently near, To endless ages still the same. 3 Thy arm, Lord, is not shortened now, It wants not now the power to save; Still present with thy people, thou Bear'st them through life's disparted wave. 4 By death and hell pursued in vain, To thee the ransomed seed shall come; Shouting their heavenly Zion gain, And pass through death, triumphant, home. 5 The pain of life shall there be o'er, The anguish and distracting care; There sighing grief shall weep no more, And sin shall never enter there. 6 Where pure, essential joy is found, The Lord's redeemed their heads shall raise, With everlasting goodness crowned, And filled with love, and lost in praise.
