Jerusalem the golden

Author: Bernard of Cluny Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #614 (1913) Topics: The Last Things The Heavenly Home; The Last Things The Heavenly Home Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden, With milk anthyyour contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest, I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there; What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene, The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who with their leader Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest; Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Tune Title: [Jerusalem the golden]

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #617 (1913) Topics: The Last Things The Heavenly Home; The Last Things The Heavenly Home Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished! all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of Hallelujahs Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up, Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Savior, come!

O Father, if 'tis Thy will, The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfill. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail; Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight, and I must prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death, To life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word And oft repeat, before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Johann M. Meyfart Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #619 (1941) Meter: 10.6.10.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: The Last Things Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high, Would God I were in thee! My longing heart fain, fain, to thee would fly, It will not stay with me. Far over vale and mountain, Far over field and plain, It hastes to seek its Fountain And leave this world of pain. 2 O happy day and yet far happier hour, When wilt thou come at last, When fearless to my Father's love and pow'r, Whose promise standeth fast, My soul I gladly render? For surely will His hand Lead her with guidance tender To heav'n, her fatherland. 3 A moment's space, and gently, wondrously, Released from earthly ties, Elijah's chariot bears her up to thee, Thro' all these lower skies To yonder shining regions, While down to meet her come The blessed angel legions And bid her welcome home. 4 O Zion, hail! Bright city, now unfold The gates of grace to me. How many a time I longed for thee of old Ere yet I was set free From yon dark life of sadness, Yon world of shadowy naught, And God had given the gladness, The heritage, I sought! 5 What glorious throng and what resplendent host Comes sweeping swiftly down? The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most, The Church's brightest crown, Our Lord hath set to meet me, As in the far-off years Their words oft came to greet me In yonder land of tears. 6 The partiarchs' and prophets' noble train, With all Christ's followers true, Who bore the cross and could the worst disdain That tyrants dared to do, I see them shine forever, All-glorious as the sun, Mid light that fadeth never, Their perfect freedom won. 7 And when within that lovely Paradise At last I safely dwell, What songs of bliss shall from my lips arise, What joy my tongue shall tell, While all the saints are singing Hosannas o'er and o'er, Pure hallelujahs ringing Around me evermore! 8 Unnumbered choirs before the shining throne Their joyful anthems raise Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone Of that great hymn of praise And all its host rejoices, And all its blessed throng Unite their myriad voices In one eternal song. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 17:1-2 Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM, DU HOCHGEBUATED STADT

My goal is fixed, one thing I ask, Whate'er the price may be, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Soon to arrive in thee. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

A Pilgrim and a Stranger

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Jane Borthwick Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #586 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below; Far distant is my country, The home to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and opprest, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 I've met with storms and danger E'en from my early years, With enemies and conflicts, With fightings and with fears. There's nothing here that tempts me To wish a longer stay, So I must hasten forward, No halting or delay. 3 It is a well-worn pathway; A host has gone before, The holy saints and prophets, The patriarchs of yore. They trod the toilsome journey In patience and in faith; And them I fain would follow, Like them in life and death. 4 Who would share Abraham's blessing Must Abraham's path pursue, A stranger and a pilgrim, Like him, must journey thro'. The foes must be encountered, The dangers must be passed; A faithful soldier only Receives the crown at last. 5 So I must hasten forward-- Thank God, the end will come! This land of passing shadows Is not my destined home. That evermore abideth, The everlasting city, Jerusalem above, This evermore abideth, The home of light and love. 6 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee. Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wand'rings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To Thy sweet home of peace. 7 There I shall dwell forever, No more a parting guest, With all Thy blood-bought children In everlasting rest, The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind me, Eternal joys before. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 89:12 Languages: English Tune Title: HERZLICH TUT MICH

Oh, how sweet To be for such a slumber meet, With holy confidence to sing That death has lost his venomed sting! 3 Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest, Whose waking is supremely blest; No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour That manifests the Savior's pow'r. 4 Asleep in Jesus! Oh, for me May such a blissful refuge be! Securely shall my ashes lie And wait the summons from on high. Amen. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:14 Languages: English Tune Title: REST

Why Do We Mourn Departing Friends

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #593 (1941) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends Or shake at death’s alarms? ’Tis but the voice that Jesus sends To call them to His arms. 2 Are we not tending upward, too, As fast as time can move? Nor would we wish the hours more slow To keep us from our Love. 3 Why should we tremble to convey Their bodies to the tomb? There the dear flesh of Jesus lay And scattered all the gloom. 4 The graves of all His saints He blest And softened ev'ry bed. Where should the dying members rest But with the dying Head? 5 Thence He arose, ascending high, And showed our feet the way. Up to the Lord, we, too, shall fly, At the great rising-day. 6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound And bid our kindred rise: Awake, ye nations under ground! Ye saints, ascend the skies! Amen. Scripture: Mark 5:39 Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINE, CLAMAVI
