To realms of glory I behold

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #51 (1903) Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold My risen Lord returning; While I, a stranger on the earth, For heaven am ever yearning. Far from my heavenly Father's home 'Mid toil and sorrow here I roam. 2 Far from my home--how long, dear Lord, Before my exile endeth? But far beyond the realms of sense My fervent prayer ascendeth: My prayer, unuttered, but a groan, Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne. 3 Then visions of the goodly land By faith my soul obtaineth; There I shall dwell for evermore Where Christ in glory reigneth, In mansions of that blest abode-- The city of the living God. 4 In that blest city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure and my heart Safe in my Saviour's keeping: In heaven, my blessed Lord, with Thee, May all my conversation be. 5 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. That day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 6 And blessed shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee, In joy and peace eternally.

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #52 (1903) Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heavenly palace gate! Hark! the choir of angel voices, Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted, To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee! Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He hath vanquished sin and Satan, He by death hath spoiled His foes. 3 Now our heavenly Aaron enters With His blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan. And the kings before Him quail; Now he plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 4 He hath raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with Him in glory stand: Jesus reigns adored by angels: Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own.

The Head that once was crowned with thorns

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #53 (1903) Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His by Sovereign right: The King of kings and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. 3 The joy of all who dwell above, The joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love, And grants His Name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above, Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. 6 The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.

Come, Holy Spirit, from above

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #55 (1903) Topics: The Christian Festivals Pentecost Lyrics: 1 Come, Holy Spirit, from above, And kindle in our hearts Thy love; In all our darkness on us shine, And fill us with Thy grace divine. 2 The only Comforter Thou art; Oh, come and dwell within each heart; And give us power from above To keep the blessed law of love. 3 Enlighten every darkened heart, And faith and hope to each impart: What else we need Thou well dost know, This let Thy love and grace bestow. 4 In Thy blest gifts on us outpoured, Thou art the right hand of the Lord; The Word of Truth Thou sendest forth, In tongues of fire to all the earth. 5 Defend us from our wily foe, And upon us Thy peace bestow; Keep us securely all our days In Thy blest covenant of grace. 6 Show us the Father's love and care, And of the Son Thy witness bear; To Both Thou showeth us the way, Spirit of Both, adored for aye. 7 To God the Father, God the Son, For precious gifts be honor done: And for the Spirit's gracious power Be praise and glory evermore.

Lord God, the Holy Ghost

Hymnal: Sunday School Book #56 (1903) Topics: The Christian Festivals Pentecost First Line: Lord God, the Holy Ghost! Lyrics: 1 Lord God, the Holy Ghost! In this accepted hour, As on the day of Pentecost, Descend in all Thy power. 2 We meet with one accord In our appointed place, And wait the promise of our Lord, And Spirit of all grace. 3 Like mighty rushing wind Upon the waves beneath, Move with one impulse every mind, One soul, one feeling breathe. 4 The young, the old inspire With wisdom from above; And give us hearts and tongues of fire, To pray, and praise, and love. 5 Spirit of light, explore, And chase our gloom away; With lustre shining more and more, Unto the perfect day! 6 Spirit of truth, be Thou In life and death our Guide; O Spirit of adoption, now May we be sanctified!

Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #200 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult Of our life's wild restless sea Day by day his voice is sounding, Saying, 'Christian follow me': 2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it By the Galilean lake, Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for his dear sake. 3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store, From each idol that would keep us, Saying, 'Christian, love me more'. 4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease, Still he calls, in cares and pleasures, 'Christian, love me more than these'. 5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies, Saviour, may we hear thy call, Give our hearts to thy obedience, Serve and love thee best of all. Languages: English Tune Title: ST ANDREW
