vision dear of peace and love,
who of living stones art builded
in the height of heaven above,
and with angel hosts encircled,
as a bride dost earthward move.
2 Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the Head and corner-stone,
chosen of the Lord, and precious,
binding all the church in one,
Holy Sion's help for ever,
and her confidence alone.
3 To this temple, where we call thee,
come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day;
with thy wonted loving-kindness
hear thy servants as they pray;
and thy fullest benediction
shed within its walls alway.
4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants
what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee for ever
with the blessèd to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.

in whom the dawn has come:

who triumphed o'er our darkest night.

When grief is raw and music goes unheard
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:3-4 Lyrics: 1 When grief is raw and music goes unheard,
and thought is numb,
we have no polished phrases to recite.
In Christ we come
to hear the old familiar words:
'I am the resurrection. I am life'.
2 God, give us time for gratitude and tears,
and make us free
to grieve, remember, honour, and delight.
Let love be strong
to bear regrets and banish fears:
'I am the resurrection. I am life'.
3 The height and breadth of all that love prepares
soars out of time,
beyond our speculation and our sight.
The cross remains
to ground the promise that it bears:
'I am the resurrection. I am life'.
4 All shall be judged, the greatest and the least,
and all be loved,
till every hurt is healed, all wrong set right.
In bread and wine
we taste the great homecoming feast,
and in the midst of death we are in life. Topics: The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Eternal Life; Funerals general; Grief; Jesus Teaching
