Wake, awake, for night is flying
Author: Miss Winkworth; Dr. Philip Nicolai Appears in 216 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven; Advent, First Sunday; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Seventh Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Wake, awake, for night is flying,
The watchmen on the heights are crying;
Awake, Jerusalem, at last!
Midnight hears the welcome voices,
And at the thrilling cry rejoices:
Come forth, ye virgins, night is past!
The Bridegroom comes, awake,
Your lamps with gladness take;
Hallelujah!
And for His marriage feast prepare,
For ye must go to meet Him there.
2 Zion hears the watchmen singing,
And all her heart with joy is springing,
She wakes, she rises from her gloom;
For her Lord comes down all glorious,
The strong in grace, in truth victorious,
Her Star is risen, her Light is come!
Ah come, Thou blessed Lord,
O Jesus, Son of God,
Hallelujah!
We follow till the halls we see
Where Thou hast bid us sup with Thee.
3 Now let all the heavens adore Thee,
And men and angels sing before Thee,
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone;
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where we are with the choir immortal,
Of angels round Thy dazzling throne;
No eye has seen, nor ear
Hath yet attained to hear
What there is ours.
But we rejoice, and sing to Thee
Our hymns of joy eternally.

Wake, awake, for night is flying
Love divine, all love excelling

Wesley Appears in 1,895 hymnals Topics: Worship General Petitions; Advent, Fourth Sunday; Epiphany, Fourth Sunday; Passion Week; Easter Season, Fifth Sunday; Whit-Sunday; Third Sunday after Trinity; Fifth Sunday after Trinity; Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity; Twenty Second Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Love divine, all love excelling,
Joy of heaven, to earth come down!
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,
All thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, Thou art all compassion,
Pure, unbounded love Thou art;
Visit us with Thy salvation,
Enter every trembling heart!
2 Breathe, O breathe Thy loving spirit
Into every troubled breast!
Let us all in Thee inherit,
Let us find Thy promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning,
Alpha and Omega be;
End of faith, as its beginning,
Set our hearts at liberty.
3 Come, Almighty, to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive;
Graciously return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave!
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy precious love.
4 Finish then Thy new creation,
Pure and spotless let us be;
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee!
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise. Used With Tune: RIPLEY

And count Thy choice the best.
3 Whate'er events betide,
Thy will they all perform;
Safe in Thy breast my head I hide,
Nor fear the coming storm.

Of having all in Thee. Scripture: Psalm 81 Used With Tune: ST. MICHAEL
My spirit on Thy care
What are these in bright array
Author: James Montgomery Appears in 378 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Sixth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 What are these in bright array,
This innumerable throng,
Round the altar night and day
Hymning one triumphant song?
"Worthy is the Lamb, once slain,
Blessing, honor, glory, power,
Wisdom, riches to obtain,
New dominion every hour."
2 These through fiery trials trod;
These from great affliction came;
Now, before the throne of God,
Sealed with His Almighty Name,
Clad in raiment pure and white,
Victor-palms in every hand,
Through their dear Redeemer's might,
More than conquerors they stand.
3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown,
On immortal fruits they feed;
Them the Lamb amidst the throne
Shall to living fountains lead:
Joy and gladness banish sighs;
Perfect love dispels all fears;
And for ever from their eyes
God shall wipe away the tears. Used With Tune: HOLLINGSIDE
What are these in bright array
Jerusalem the golden
Author: Bernard de Morlaix; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6 Appears in 922 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Sixth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, the golden,
With milk and honey blest,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice opprest:
I know not, O I know not,
What social joys are there!
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare!
2 And when I fain would sing them
My spirit fails and faints,
And vainly would it image
The assembly of the saints.
They stand, those halls of Zion,
Conjubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng:
3 There is the Throne of David;
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
For ever and for ever
Are clad in robes of white!
Used With Tune: EWING

Before whose bar severe,
With holy joy or guilty dread
We all shall soon appear;
Our cautioned souls prepare
For that tremendous day,
And fill us now with watchful care,
nd stir us up to pray:
2 To pray, and wait the hour,
That wondrous hour unknown,
When, robed in majesty and power,
Thou shalt from heaven come down,
The immortal Son of Man,
To judge the human race,
With all Thy Father’s dazzling train,
With all Thy glorious grace.
3 O may we all be found
Obedient to Thy word,
Attentive to the trumpet’s sound,
And looking for our Lord!
O may we thus ensure
A lot among the blest;
And watch a moment to secure
An everlasting rest. Used With Tune: ST. AUGUSTINE

And my springs all rise in thee;

That my soul to God can lead.
2 Gracious Spirit, Thou who showest
In the Word the Father's heart,
And all needful help bestowest,
Light and sense to me impart,
That I may the riches see
Which God's Word here offers me.
3 In its solemn contemplation
From vain cares let me be free,
And in prayerful adoration
Stay Thou all my thoughts on Thee,
That the world may not annoy
While I make Thy Word my joy.
4 What I read, help that I heed it,
What Thou sayest, let me do;
Strength to faith grant as I need it,
And remind me still anew
That the faith that counts above
Is e'er active here in love.

That my ways ne'er from Thee part;
Thy enlightening Word direct me;
Seal this treasure in my heart,
That my faith may steadfast prove,
Till I walk by sight above. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE

Proclaims Thy conqu'ring arm;

Nor death nor hell shall harm.

The roseate hues of early dawn
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 140 hymnals Topics: Twenty Fourth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 The roseate hues of early dawn,
The brightness of the day,
The crimson of the sunset sky,
How fast they fade away!
O for the pearly gates of heaven!
O for the golden floor!
O for the Sun of Righteousness
That setteth nevermore!
2 The highest hopes we cherish here,
How fast they tire and faint!
How many a spot defiles the robe
That wraps an earthly saint!
O for a heart that never sins!
O for a soul washed white!
O for a voice to praise our King,
Nor weary day or night!
3 Here faith is ours, and heavenly hope,
And grace to lead us higher;
But there are perfectness and peace,
Beyond our great desire.
O by Thy Love and anguish, Lord,
O by Thy life laid down,
O that we fall not from Thy grace,
Nor cast away our crown! Used With Tune: CASTLE RISING
The roseate hues of early dawn
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
Author: John Matthew Meyfart; Miss Winkworth Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Death and Eternity Heaven; Easter Season, Fourth Sunday; Twenty Sixth Sunday after Trinity Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, thou city fair and high,
Would God I were in thee!
My longing heart fain, fain to thee would fly!
It will not stay with me;
Far over vale and mountain,
Far over field and plain,
It hastes to seek its Fountain
And quit this world of pain.
2 O happy day, and yet far happier hour,
When wilt thou come at last?
When fearless to my Father's love and power,
Whose promise standeth fast,
My soul I gladly render,
For surely will His hand
Lead her with guidance tender
To heaven her fatherland.
3 O Zoin, hail! Bright city, now unfold
The gates of grace to me!
How many a time I longed for thee of old,
Ere yet I was set free
From yon dark life of sadness,
Yon world of shadowy nought,
And God had given the gladness,
The heritage I sought.
4 O what the tribe, or what the glorious host,
Comes sweeping swiftly down?
The chosen ones on earth who wrought the most,
The Church's brightest crown,
Our Lord hath sent to meet me,
As in the far-off years,
Their words oft came to greet me
In yonder land of tears.
5 Innumerous choirs before the shining throne
Their joyful anthems raise,
Till heaven's glad halls are echoing with the tone
Of that great hymn of praise,
And all its host rejoices,
And all its blessed throng
Unite their myriad voices
In one eternal song. Used With Tune: JERUSALEM, DU HOCHGEBAUTE STADT
Jerusalem, thou city fair and high
