In Heaven Above
Author: Laurentius Laurentii Laurinius; Johan Astrom; William Maccall Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 36 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:4 First Line: In heaven above, in heaven above Lyrics: 1 In heaven above, in beaven above,
where God our Father dwells,
how boundless there the blessèdness--
no tongue its greatness tells!
There face to face, and full and free,
the everlasting God we see,
our God, the Lord of hosts!
2 In heaven above, in heaven above,
what glory deep and bright!
The splendor of the noonday sun
grows pale before its light;
that mighty Sun that ne’er goes down,
before whose face clouds never frown,
is God the Lord of hosts!
3 In heaven above, in heaven above,
no tears of pain are shed;
for nothing there can fade or die,
life’s fullness round is spread;
and, like an ocean, joy o’erflows,
and with immortal mercy glows
our God, the Lord of hosts!
4 In heaven above, in heaven above,
God has a joy prepared,
which mortal ear has never heard,
nor mortal vision shared,
which never entered mortal thought,
in mortal dreams was never sought,
O God, the Lord of hosts!

Great God, Your Love Has Called Us
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 32 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:5 First Line: Great God, your love has called us here Lyrics: 1 Great God, your love has called us here
as we, by love, for love were made.
Your living likeness still we bear,
though marred, dishonored, disobeyed.
We come, with all our heart and mind
your call to hear, your love to find.
2 Great God, in Christ you call our name
and then receive us as your own,
not through some merit, right or claim,
but by your gracious love alone.
We strain to glimpse your mercy seat
and find you kneeling at our feet.
3 Then take the towel, and break the bread,
and humble us, and call us friends.
Suffer and serve till all are fed,
and show how grandly love intends
to work till all creation sings,
to fill all worlds, to crown all things.
4 Great God, in Christ you set us free
your life to live, your joy to share.
Give us your Spirit's liberty
to turn from guilt and dull despair
and offer all that faith can do
while love is making all things new.
Topics: Jesus Christ Humility; Jesus Christ Humanity; Lord’s Supper Used With Tune: ST. PETERSBURG

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:5-6 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, ev'ryone!
Used With Tune: HOSANNA

No Burdens Yonder
Author: Ada R. Habershon Meter: 10.10.10.10.5.4.5.3 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:4 First Line: No burdens yonder, not a single care Lyrics: 1 No burdens yonder, not a single care,
When home is entered, not a load to bear;
No burdens yonder, all will be laid down
Before we share His glory and His throne.
Refrain:
No burdens yonder,
All sorrow past;
No burdens yonder,
Home at last.
2 No trials yonder, all the testing done,
The schooldays over and the prizes won;
No much-tried faith like gold in furnace heat,
The purifying will be all complete. [Refrain]
3 No toiling yonder, and no weariness,
No disappointments, and no more distress;
The future bright, the past all understood,
We’ll see that all the way He led was good. [Refrain]
4 No parting yonder, and no sad goodbyes,
No pain, no sickness, and no weeping eyes;
But, best of all, my Savior I shall see,
No cloud will come between my Lord and me. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [No burdens yonder, not a single care] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/No_Burdens_Yonder); Review and Herald Publishing Association, The Gospel in Song, 1926 (231)

Lord, Bring the Day to Pass
Author: Ian Fraser Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:1 Lyrics: 1 Lord, bring the day to pass
when forest, rock and hill,
the beasts, the birds, the grass
will know your finished will:
when we attain our destiny,
and nature its lost unity.
2 Forgive our careless use
of water, ore, and soil--
the plenty we abuse,
supplied by others' toil:
save us from making self our creed:
turn us towards each other's need.
3 Give us, when we release
creation's secret powers,
to harness them for peace,
our children's peace and ours:
teach us the art of mastering
which makes life rich and draws death's sting.
4 Creation groans, travails;
futile its present plight,
bound till the hour it hails
the newfound heirs of light
who enter on their true estate.
Come, Lord! new heav'ns and earth create! Topics: In The Beginning The Earth is the Lord's Used With Tune: CAMANO

our comforts and our cares.

each other's burdens bear;
and often for each other flows
the sympathizing tear.
