Who are these, like stars appearing

Author: H. T. Schenck, 1656-1727; Frances Cox, 1812-97 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 148 hymnals Topics: Procession Lyrics: 1 Who are these, like stars appearing, These before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluya, hark! they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand-- Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place Blest they stand before his face.

Now with Joyful Exultation

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 15 hymnals Topics: Processions Lyrics: 1 Now with joyful exultation let us sing to God our praise; to the Rock of our salvation loud hosannas let us raise. Thankful tribute gladly bringing, let us come before him now, and, with psalms his praises singing, joyful in his presence bow. 2 For how great a God, and glorious, is the LORD of whom we sing; over idol gods victorious, great is he, our God and King. In his hand are earth's deep places, also his are all the hills; his the sea whose bounds he traces, his the land his bounty fills. 3 To the LORD, such might revealing, let us come with reverence meet, and, before our Maker kneeling, let us worship at his feet. He is our own God who leads us, we the people of his care; with a shepherd's hand he feeds us as his flock in pastures fair. 4 While he offers peace and pardon let us hear his voice today, lest, if we our hearts should harden, we should perish in the way-- lest to us, so unbelieving, he in judgment should declare: "You, so long my Spirit grieving, never in my rest will share." Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: BEECHER Text Sources: Psalter, 1912

Once in royal David's city

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 420 hymnals Topics: Procession Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city Stood a lowly cattle shed, Where a mother laid her baby In a manger for his bed: Mary was that Mother mild, Jesus Christ her little Child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven Who is God and Lord of all, And his shelter was a stable, And his cradle was a stall: With the poor and mean and lowly, Lived on earth our Saviour holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood Day by day like us he grew, He was little, weak, and helpless, Tears and smiles like us he knew: And he feeleth for our sadness, And he shareth in our gladness. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him Through his own redeeming love, For that Child so dear and gentle, Is our Lord in heaven above: And he leads his children on To the place where he is gone. 5 *Not in that poor lowly stable, With the oxen standing by, We shall we see him: but in heaven, Set at God's right hand on high, Where like stars his children crowned, All in white shall wait around.

He all decrees, who by his hand prepared the land and formed the seas. 3 In worship bow the knee, our glorious God confess; the great Creator, he, the Lord our Righteousness. He reigns unseen: his flock he feeds and gently leads in pastures green. 4 Come, hear his voice today, receive what love imparts; his holy will obey and harden not your hearts. His ways are best and lead at last, all troubles past, to perfect rest. Scripture: Psalm 95 Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH

Alleluia! 4 Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above.

This alone can sin destroy; From sin's pow'r, Lord, set us free, Newborn souls in you to be.
