The Church above forever rings

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #132 (1908) Topics: The Church Year Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 The Church above forever rings With praises of the King of kings; Forever there, on harps divine, Thy hymn th' eternal One in Trine; We here below the strain prolong, And faintly echo Zion's song. 2 O Lord of Lords invisible! With Thy pure light this temple fill, And hither, when invoked, descend; Here to Thy people's prayer attend: Here, in their hearts forevermore, The Spirit's quick'ning graces pour. 3 Here may the faithful, day by day, In humble adoration pray; And here receive from Thy dear love The blessings of that home above, Till, loosened from this mortal chain, Its everlasting joys they gain.

One Holy Name she blesses, Partakes one Holy Food, And to one hope she presses With every grace endured. 3 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore opprest, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distrest, Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil, and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union With God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: AURELIA
