Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? 2 Lo! these are they from sufferings great, Who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed Those robes which shine so bright 3 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love, amidst The glories of the sky. 4 The Lamb which dwell amidst the throne Shall o'er them still preside; Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. 5 In pastures green He'll lead His flock, Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from every eye Shall wipe off every tear.

When grief is raw and music goes unheard

Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Eternal Life; Funerals general; Grief; Jesus Teaching Lyrics: 1 When grief is raw and music goes unheard, and thought is numb, we have no polished phrases to recite. In Christ we come to hear the old familiar words: 'I am the resurrection. I am life'. 2 God, give us time for gratitude and tears, and make us free to grieve, remember, honour, and delight. Let love be strong to bear regrets and banish fears: 'I am the resurrection. I am life'. 3 The height and breadth of all that love prepares soars out of time, beyond our speculation and our sight. The cross remains to ground the promise that it bears: 'I am the resurrection. I am life'. 4 All shall be judged, the greatest and the least, and all be loved, till every hurt is healed, all wrong set right. In bread and wine we taste the great homecoming feast, and in the midst of death we are in life. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9
