Who are these like stars appearing

Author: Frances E. Cox; Heinrich Theobald Schenk Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 146 hymnals 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? Alleluia! hark, they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 3 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. 4 These, as 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. Amen. Topics: The Church The Church Triumphant Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

A few more years shall roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 382 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest Asleep within the tomb. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 2 A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time; And we shall be where suns are not,-- A far serener clime. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that blest day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood And take my sins away. 3 A few more storms shall beat On this wild rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that calm day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 4 A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that bright day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. 5 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, Who lives That we with Him may reign. Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious Blood, And take my sins away. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons New Year Used With Tune: CHALVEY

When all Thy mercies, O my God

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 1,002 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When all Thy mercies, O my God, My rising soul surveys, Transported with the view, I’m lost In wonder, love and praise. 2 Unnumbered comforts to my soul Thy tender care bestowed, Before my infant heart conceived From Whom those comforts flowed. 3 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts My daily thanks employ; Nor is the last a cheerful heart That tastes those gifts with joy. 4 Through every period of my life Thy goodness I’ll pursue, And after death, in distant worlds, The glorious theme renew. 5 When nature fails, and day and night Divide Thy works no more, My ever grateful heart, O Lord, Thy mercy shall adore. 6 Through all eternity to Thee A joyful song I’ll raise; But oh! eternity’s too short To utter all Thy praise. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT

Hosanna! loud hosanna!

Author: Jeanette Threlfall Appears in 160 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hosanna! loud hosanna! The little children sang; Through pillar'd court and temple The lovely anthem rang; To Jesus who had blessed them, Close folded to His breast, The children sang their praises, The simplest and the best. 2 From Olivet they followed, 'Mid an exultant crowd, Waving the victor palm-branch, And shouting clear and loud; Bright angels joined the chorus Beyond the cloudless sky: "Hosanna in the highest: Glory to God on high!" 3 Fair leaves of silvery olive They strewed upon the ground, Whilst Salem's circling mountains Echoed the joyful sound; The Lord of men and angels Rode on in lowly state Nor scorned that little children Should on His bidding wait. 4 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing; For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav'n our King. Oh! may we ever praise Him With heart, and life, and voice, And in His blissful presence Eternally rejoice! Amen.

God will make new heavens and earth; Songs of praise shall hail their birth. 4 Saints below, with heart and voice, Still in songs of praise rejoice; Learning here, by faith and love, Songs of praise to sing above. 5 Borne upon their latest breath, Songs of praise shall conquer death; Then, amidst eternal joy, Songs of praise their powers employ. 6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto Thee we raise; Jesus, glory unto Thee, With the Spirit, ever be. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: MONKLAND

Weary of earth, and laden with my sin

Author: Samuel John Stone Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weary of earth, and laden with my sin, I look to heaven, and long to enter in; But there no evil thing may find a home, And yet I hear a voice that bids me "Come." 2 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear; His are the hands stretched out to draw me near, And His the Blood that can for all atone, And set me faultless there before the throne. 3 ’Twas He Who found me on the deathly wild, And made me heir of heaven, the Father’s child, And day by day, whereby my soul may live, Gives me His grace of pardon, and will give. 4 O great Absolver, grant my soul may wear The lowliest garb of penitence and prayer, That in Thy Father’s courts my glorious dress May be the garment of Thy righteousness. 5 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord: Thine all the merits, mine the great reward; Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown, Mine the life won, through Thine, the life laid down. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Repentance Used With Tune: REGNATOR ORBIS
