By Your mercies, Saviour, make us hear Your call, give to You our heart's obedience, serve and love You best of all. Used With Tune: ST ANDREW Text Sources: Alt.: Compilers

How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats of everlasting day? 2 Lo, these are they from suff'rings great, who came to realms of light, and in the blood of Christ have wash'd those robes that 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 His presence fills each heart with joy, tunes ev'ry mouth to sing: by day, by night, the sacred courts with glad hosannas ring. 5 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, nor sun with scorching ray: God is their sun, whose cheering beams diffuse eternal day. 6 The Lamb, who dwells amidst the throne shall o'er them still preside, feed them with nourishment divine, and all their footsteps guide. 7 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock, where living streams appear; and God the Lord from every eye shall wipe off ev'ry tear.
