For All the Saints Who from Their Labors Rest
Author: William Walsham How Hymnal: The Hymnbook #425A (1955) Meter: 10.10.10.4 Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 For all the saints who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed,
Thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 Thou wast their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might;
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness drear, their one true Light.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 O may Thy soldiers, faithful, true, and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one in Thee, for all are Thine.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 And when the fight is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Amen. Scripture: Proverbs 4:18 Tune Title: SARUM

Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand
Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: The Hymnbook #427 (1955) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light;
'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore;
What meeting there of parted friends
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power, and reign;
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heaven Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Saviour, come.
Amen. Scripture: Revelation 5:11-13 Tune Title: ALFORD
Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand
Brief Life Is Here Our Portion
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866); Bernard of Cluny Hymnal: The Hymnbook #430 (1955) Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care,
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life, is there.
O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!
2 There grief is turned to pleasure,
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know.
And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown.
3 The morning shall awaken,
The shadows flee away,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
There God, our King and portion,
In fullness of His grace,
We then shall see forever,
And worship face to face.
Amen. Scripture: John 14:2 Tune Title: EWING
Brief Life Is Here Our Portion
Forgive, O Lord, Our Severing Ways
Author: John Greenleaf Whittier Hymnal: The Hymnbook #476 (1955) Meter: 8.8.8 Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Forgive, O Lord, our severing ways,
The rival altars that we raise,
The wrangling tongues that mar Thy praise.
2 Thy grace impart; in time to be
Shall one great temple rise to Thee—
One Church for all humanity.
3 White flowers of love its walls shall climb,
Soft bells of peace shall ring its chime,
Its days shall all be holy time.
4 A sweeter song shall then be heard,
Confessing, in a world's accord,
The inward Christ, the living Word.
5 That song shall swell from shore to shore,
One hope, one faith, one love restore
The seamless robe that Jesus wore.
Amen. Scripture: Ephesians 4:4-6 Tune Title: O MENSCH SIEH
Forgive, O Lord, Our Severing Ways
Hills of the North, Rejoice
Author: Charles E. Oakley Hymnal: The Hymnbook #478 (1955) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Topics: Church, The Church Triumphant Lyrics: 1 Hills of the North, rejoice;
River and mountain spring,
Hark to the advent voice;
Valley and low land, sing;
Though absent long, your Lord is nigh;
He judgment brings and victory.
2 Isles of the Southern seas,
Deep in your coral caves
Pent be each warring breeze,
Lulled be your restless waves:
He comes to reign with boundless sway,
And makes your wastes His great highway.
3 Lands of the East, awake,
Soon shall your sons be free;
The sleep of ages break,
And rise to liberty.
On your far hills, long cold and gray,
Has dawned the everlasting day.
4 Shores of the utmost West,
Ye that have waited long,
Unvisited, unblest,
Break forth to swelling song;
High raise the note, that Jesus died,
Yet lives and reigns, the Crucified.
5 Shout, while ye journey home;
Songs be in every mouth;
Lo, from the North we come,
From East, and West, and South.
City of God, the bond are free,
We come to live and reign in thee!
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 2:8 Tune Title: LITTLE CORNARD
Hills of the North, Rejoice
Blessed city, heavenly Salem
Author: John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Hymnal #508a (1916) Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics:
Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
Vision dear of peace and love,
Who of living stones art builded
In the height of heav'n above,
And, with angel hosts encircled,
As a bride dost earthward move;
463
From celestial realms descending,
Bridal glory round thee shed,
Meet for him whose love espoused thee,
To thy Lord shalt thou be led;
All thy streets and all thy bulwarks
Of pure gold are fashionèd.
Bright thy gates of pearl are shining,
They are open evermore;
And by virtue of his merits
Thither faithful souls do soar,
Who, for Christ's dear Name, in this world
Pain and tribulation bore.
Many a blow and biting sculpture
Polished well those stones elect,
In their places now compacted
By the heavenly Architect,
Who therewith hath willed for ever
That his palace should be decked.
Laud and honour to the Father,
Laud and honour to the Son,
Laud and honour to the Spirit,
Ever Three, and ever One,
Consubstantial, Co-eternal,
While unending ages run.
Amen.

O Heavenly Jerusalem
Author: Isaac Williams Hymnal: The Hymnal #509a (1916) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics:
O Heavenly Jerusalem,
Of everlasting halls,
Thrice blessèd are the people
Thou storest in thy walls.
Thou art the golden mansion,
Where saints for ever sing,
The seat of God's own chosen,
The palace of the King.
464
There God for ever sitteth,
Himself of all the crown;
The Lamb, the Light that shineth,
And never goeth down.
Naught to this seat approacheth
Their sweet peace to molest;
They sing their God for ever,
Nor day nor night they rest.
Sure hope doth thither lead us;
Our longings thither tend;
May shortlived toil ne'er daunt us
For joys that cannot end.
To Christ, the Sun that lightens
His Church above, below;
To Father, and to Spirit
All things created bow.
Amen.

O Heavenly Jerusalem
O mother dear, Jerusalem
Author: "F. B. P." Hymnal: The Hymnal #510a (1916) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Church Triumphant Lyrics:
O mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
O happy harbour of God's saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow can be found,
Nor grief, nor care, nor toil.
No murky cloud o'ershadows thee,
Nor gloom, nor darksome night;
But every soul shines as the sun;
For God himself gives light.
465
O my sweet home, Jerusalem,
Thy joys when shall I see?
The King that sitteth on thy throne
In his felicity?
Thy gardens and thy goodly walks
Continually are green,
Where grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
Right through thy streets, with silver sound,
The living waters flow,
And on the banks, on either side,
The trees of life do grow.
Those trees for evermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring:
There evermore the angels are
And evermore do sing.
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see!
