We've no abiding city here; Sad truth, were this to be our home; But let this thought our spirits cheer, We seek a city yet to come, We seek a city yet to come. 2. We've no abiding city here, We seek a city out of sight; Zion its name, the Lord is there, It shines with ever lasting light, It shines with ever lasting light. 3. O sweet abode of peace and love, Where pilgrims freed from toil, are blest! Had I the pinions of a dove, I'd fly to thee, and be at rest, I'd fly to thee, and be at rest. 4. But hush, my soul! nor dare repine; The time my God appoints is best; While here, to do his will be mine, And his to fix my time of rest, And his to fix my time of rest. Used With Tune: ANDRE

In Our Day of Thanksgiving

Author: W. H. Draper Meter: 13.12.13.11 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: City of God First Line: In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer Lyrics: 1 In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer for the saints who before us have found their reward; when the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed, but now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord. 2 In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even, he called them away from our worship below; but love, in the Wod, at the font, and on the altar had girt them with grace for the way they should go. 3 These stones that have echoed their praises are holy, and dear is the ground where their feet have once trod; yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims, and still they were seeking the city of God. 4 Sing praise, then, for all who here sought and here found him, whose journey is ended, whose perils are past; they believed in the light; and its glory is round them where the clouds of earth’s sorrows are lifted at last. Scripture: Hebrews 11:13 Used With Tune: KREMSER Text Sources: "In Remembrance of Past Worshipers"

A-men. 3 Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting thou art God, To endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in thy sight Are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night Before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day. 6 O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be thou our guide while troubles last, And our eternal home! Amen. Scripture: Psalm 90 Used With Tune: ST. ANNE

A voice astounds us Lyrics: 1 “Sleepers, wake!” A voice astounds us, the shout of rampart-guards surrounds us: “Awake, Jerusalem, arise!” Midnight’s peace their cry has broken, their urgent summons clearly spoken: “The time has come, O maidens wise! Rise up, and give us light; the Bridegroom is in sight. Hallelujah! Your lamps prepare and hasten there, that you the wedding feast may share.” 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing; her heart with joyful hope is springing, she wakes and hurries through the night. Forth he comes, her Bridegroom glorious in strength of grace, in truth victorious: her star is risen, her light grows bright. Now come, most worthy Lord, God’s Son, incarnate Word. Hallelujah! We follow all and heed your call to come into the banquet hall. 3 Lamb of God, the heavens adore you; let saints and angels sing before you, as harps and cymbals swell the sound. Twelve great pearls, the city’s portals: through them we stream to join the immortals as we with joy your throne surround. No eye has known the sight, no ear heard such delight: Hallelujah! Therefore we sing to greet our King; for ever let our praises ring. Scripture: Isaiah 52:7-10 Used With Tune: WACHET AUF Text Sources: German
