O may we stand around thy throne, and see thy glory there! 5 Jesu, our only joy be thou, as thou our prize wilt be; in thee be all our glory now and through eternity. 6 All praise to thee who art gone up triumphantly to heaven; all praise to God the Father's name, and Holy Ghost be given.

The Many Are Not Always Right

Author: Julius Brigg Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The many are not always right, The few not always wrong; Weak oft are those who boast their might, But truth is always strong. 2 O, let me have a holy name, E’en though alone I be! Vain is the charm of earthly fame, And sin’s short victory. 3 I’d rather with Elijah stand, Alone on Carmel’s crest, Than own allegiance to the band Whose shame was there confessed. 4 I’d rather have a Daniel’s crown Of fearless fortitude, Than basely lay my manhood down With craven multitude. 5 I’d rather be the one true heart, Strong in a purpose high, Than cowardly from Christ depart, With recreant hosts to die. 6 Whate’er befall, to me a place Be with the victors giv’n, Where faithful ones behold His face, Amidst the bliss of Heav’n!
