Our God, our help in ages past

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,260 hymnals Topics: All Saints and All Souls Lyrics: 1 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home: 2 under the shadow of your throne your saints have dwelt secure: sufficient is your arm alone, and our defence is sure. 3 Before the hills in order stood or earth received its frame, from everlasting you art God to endless years the same. 4 A thousand ages in your sight are like an evening gone: short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. 5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream, bears all of us away; we fly forgotten, as a dream dies at the opening day. 6 Our God, our help in ages past, our hope for years to come, remain our guard while troubles last, and our eternal home.

Den store hvide Flok vi se

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: All Saints Day For Evening Lyrics: 1 Den store hvide Flok vi se, Som tusind Berge fuld' af Sne, Med Skov omkring af Palmesving, For Thronen. Hvo er de? Det er din Helteskare, som Af hin den store Trængsel kom, Og har sig toed i Lammets Blod, Til Himlens Helligdom. Der holde de nu Kirkegang Med uophørlig Jubelklang I høie Kor, hvor Gud han bor, Blandt alle Englers Sang. 2 Her gik de under stor Foragt, Men se dem nu i deres Pragt For Thronen staa med Kroner paa I Himlens Præstedragt! Sandt er det, i saa mangen Nød Tidt Taarestrøm paa Kinden flød, Men Gud har dem, straks de kom hjem, Aftørret paa sit Skjød. Nu holde de, og har tilbedst' Hos ham en evig Løvsals-Fest, Og Lammet selv ved Livets Elv Er baade Vert og Gjest. 3 Til Lykke, Kjæmpe-Samling! ja, O tusindfold til Lykke da, At du var her saa tro især, Og slap saa vel herfra! Du har foragtet Verdens Trøst, Saa lev nu evig vel, o høst, Hvad du har saad med Suk og Graad, I tusind Engle-Lyst! Ophøie din Røst, slaa Palme-Takt, Og syng af Himmel-Kraft og Magt: Pris være dig evindelig, Vor Gud og Lammet, sagt!

Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluya, hark! they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand-- Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place Blest they stand before his face.
