The Needy Poor

Author: J. W. Hey Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: O Christian, if the needy poor Lyrics: 1 O Christian, if the needy poor Have e'er unheeded been, Beware, lest at thy closed door The Saviour stood unseen! Let heart and house be open thrown, Thy gifts with others share; Let holy charity be shown To all who need thy care. 2 Then, while thy glance abroad is cast, The Lord is by thy side; For thro' the open door He passed, When they were not denied. And ere thy kindly heart could guess Who entered by the door, His gracious hands were raised to bless Thy basket and thy store. 3 And He shall bless thee all life's day, With His almighty love; And crown thee in eternity That waits the just above, Where soon the pearly gates of light His hand shall open throw To all who now with Him unite In ministry below.

How Bright These Glorious Spirits Shine!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 156 hymnals First Line: How bright these glorious spirits shine Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats of everlasting day? Lo! these are they from suff'rings great who came to realms of light! and in the blood of Christ have washed those robes which shine so bright. 2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand before the throne on high, and serve the God they love, amidst the glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, tunes ev'ry mouth to sing: by day, by night, the sacred courts with glad hosannas ring. 3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, nor suns with scorching ray; God is their sun, whose cheering beams diffuse eternal day. The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne shall o'er them still preside, feed them with nourishment divine, and all their footsteps guide. 4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock where living streams appear; and God the Lord from ev'ry eye shall wipe off ev'ry tear. To him who sits upon the throne, the God whom we adore, and to the Lamb that once was slain, be glory evermore!
