Jerusalem, My Happy Home
Author: Joseph Bromehead, 1747-1826 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 622 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22 Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
When shall I with you be?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Your joys when shall I see?
2 Your saints are crowned with glory great;
They see God face to face;
They triumph still, they still rejoice:
In that most holy place.
3 There David stands with harp in hand
As master of the choir:
Ten thousand time that we were blest
That might this music hear.
4 Our Lady sings Magnificat
With tune surpassing sweet;
And all the virgins join the song
While sitting at her feet.
5 There Magdalene has left her tears,
And cheerfully does sing
With blessed saints, whose harmony
In ev'ry street does ring.
6 Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
God grant that I may see
Your endless joy, and of the same
Partaker ever be!

The Sands of Time Are Sinking
Author: Anne R. Cousin Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Appears in 313 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:4 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking,
the dawn of heaven breaks,
the summer morn I've sighed for,
the fair sweet morn awakes;
dark, dark, hath been the midnight,
but dayspring is at hand,
and glory, glory dwelleth
in Emmanuel's land.
2 The King there in his beauty
without a veil is seen;
it were a well-spent journey
though sev'n deaths lay between:
the Lamb with his fair army
doth on Mount Zion stand,
and glory, glory dwelleth
in Emmanuel's land.
3 O Christ, he is the fountain,
the deep sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted
more deep I'll drink above:
there to an ocean fullness
his mercy doth expand,
and glory, glory dwelleth
in Emmanuel's land.
4 The bride eyes not her garment,
but her dear bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
but on my King of grace;
not at the crown he gifteth,
but on his pierced hand:
the Lamb is all the glory
of Emmanuel's land.

Ye holy angels bright
Author: Richard Baxter (1615-1691) Meter: 6.6.6.6.4.4.4.4 Appears in 114 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:4 Lyrics: 1 Ye holy angels bright,
who wait at God's right hand,
or through the realms of light
fly at your Lord's command,
assist our song,
or else the theme
too high doth seem
for mortal tongue.
2 Ye blessèd souls at rest,
who ran this earthly race,
and now, from sin released,
behold the Saviour's face,
his praises sound,
as in his light
with sweet delight
ye do abound.
3 Ye saints, who toil below,
adore your heavenly King,
and onward as ye go,
some joyful anthem sing;
take what he gives
and praise him still
through good or ill,
who ever lives.
4 My soul, take now thy part,
triumph in God above,
and with a well-tuned heart
sing out the songs of love.
Let all thy days
till life shall end,
whate'er he send,
be filled with praise. Topics: Our Response to God in adoration and gratitude; The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Angels; Communion of Saints; Music and Song Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise
Author: William Chatterton Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 110 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:1-2 Lyrics: 1 To thee, O Lord, our hearts we raise
in hymns of adoration,
to thee bring sacrifice of praise
with shouts of exultation:
bright robes of gold the fields adorn,
the hills with joy are ringing,
the valleys stand so thick with corn
that even they are singing.
2 And now, on this our festal day,
thy bounteous hand confessing,
upon thine altar, Lord, we lay
the first-fruits of thy blessing:
by thee the hungry soul is fed
with gifts of grace supernal;
thou who dost give us earthly bread,
give us the bread eternal.
3 We bear the burden of the day,
and often toil seems dreary;
but labour ends with sunset ray,
and rest comes for the weary:
may we, the angel-reaping o'er,
stand at the last accepted,
Christ's golden sheaves for evermore
to garners bright elected.
4 O blessèd is that land of God,
where saints abide for ever;
where golden fields spread far and broad,
where flows the crystal river:
the strains of all its holy throng
with ours today are blending;
thrice blessèd is that harvest-song
which never hath an ending. Used With Tune: GOLDEN SHEAVES

Christ Is Risen
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22 First Line: Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Lyrics: 1
Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Celebrate this day of
days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder; all creation is
amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding, see, a spreading tree
has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of
love unknown.
2
Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns
of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love
can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a
friend.
Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall
never end.
3
Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be
the same.
Break the bread of new creation where the world is
still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus: “Christ is risen! Get
you gone!”
God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna
everyone!

How sweet the Name of Jesus sounds
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,621 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 22:4 Lyrics: 1 How sweet the name of Jesus sounds
in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds,
and drives away his fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
'tis manna to the hungry soul,
and to the weary rest.
3 Dear name! the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding place,
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace.
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Husband, Friend,
my Prophet, Priest, and King,
my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but, when I see thee as thou art,
I'll praise thee as I ought.
6 Till then I would thy love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of thy name
refresh my soul in death. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Our Response to Christ In Devotion; Devotion; Jesus Name; Jesus Names and images for Used With Tune: ST. PETER

the precious things which you impart;

the hidden depths of many a heart.

until my very heart o'erflow
in kindling thought and glowing word,
your love to tell, your praise to show.
6 O use me, Lord, use even me,
just as you will, and when, and where,
until at last your face I see,
your rest, your joy, your glory share. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Discipleship; Dedication of people Used With Tune: WINSCOTT
