A city radiant as a bride

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The City; Saints; Funerals, Commemoration, Remembrance and All Souls Lyrics: 1 A city radiant as a bride and bright with gold and gem, a crystal river clear and wide, the new Jerusalem; a city wrought of wealth untold, her jewelled walls aflame with green and amethyst and gold and colours one can name. 2 A holy city, clear as glass, where saints in glory dwell; through gates of pearl her people pass to fields of asphodel. In robes of splendour, pure and white, they walk the golden floor, where God himself shall be their light and night shall be no more. 3 A city ever new and fair, the Lamb's eternal bride; no suffering or grief is there and every tear is dried. There Christ prepares for us a place, from sin and death restored, and we shall stand before his face, the ransomed of the Lord. Scripture: Isaiah 35:2 Used With Tune: LADYWELL

And where's our courage fled? Have restless sin and raging hell Struck all our comforts dead? Have we forgot th' almighty name That formed the earth and sea? And can an all-creating arm Grow weary or decay? Treasures of everlasting might In our Jehovah dwell; He gives the conquest to the weak And treads their foes to hell. Mere mortal power shall fade and die, And youthful vigor cease: But we that wait upon the Lord Shall feel our strength increase. The saints shall mount on eagles' wings, And taste the promised bliss, Till their unwearied feet arrive Where perfect pleasure is. Scripture: Isaiah 40:27-30

Shall atheists dare insult the cross

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Topics: Resurrection and death of Christ; Christ his all-sufficiency; Christ his death and resurrection; Comfort and support in God; Company of saints; Confession of our poverty; Counsel and support from God; Courage in death; Death and resurrection of Christ; Death courage in it; God all-sufficient; Good works profit men, not God; Grace without merit; Hope of resurrection; Idolatry reproved; Merit disclaimed; Poverty confessed; Resurrection of the saints; Saints the best company; Support and counsel from God; Works good profit men, not God Lyrics: Shall atheists dare insult the cross Of our Redeemer, God? Shall infidels reproach his laws, Or trample on his blood? What if he choose mysterious ways To cleanse us from our faults? May not the works of sovereign grace Transcend our feeble thoughts? What if his gospel bids us fight With flesh, and self, and sin, The prize is most divinely bright That we are called to win. What if the foolish and the poor His glorious grace partake, This but confirms his truth the more, For so the prophets spake. Do some that own his sacred name Indulge their souls in sin? Jesus should never bear the blame, His laws are pure and clean. Then let our faith grow firm and strong, Our lips profess his word; Nor blush nor fear to walk among The men that love the Lord. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:26-31
