Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand
Author: Henry Alford Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 440 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand
give glory to the Lamb;
the angel hosts around the throne
praise God, the great I AM.
Triumphant alleluias
fill earth and sea and sky,
as countless voices join the song
and worship God on high.
2 O day, for which creation
and all its tribes were made!
O joy, for all its former grief
a thousandfold repaid!
The armies of the ransomed
have fought with death and sin:
fling open wide the mighty gates
to let the victors in!
3 Bring near your great salvation,
O Lord, return again.
to gather all your chosen flock--
then take your power and reign!
Appear, Desire of Nations;
your exiles long for home;
show in the heavens your promised sign,
then, Prince and Savior, come!

With its glorified beings in pure garments of white;

Author: Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924); Bernhard Severin Ingemann (1789-1862) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 326 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:13-16 Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
onward goes the pilgrim band,
singing songs of expectation,
marching to the promised land.
2 Clear before us through the darkness
gleams and burns the guiding light;
pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim,
stepping fearless through the night.
3 One the light of God's own presence
o'er his ransomed people shed,
chasing far the gloom and terror,
brightening all the path we tread:
4 One the object of our journey,
one the faith which never tires,
one the earnest looking forward,
one the hope our God inspires:
5 One the strain that lips of thousands
lift as from the heart of one;
one the conflict, one the peril,
one the march in God begun:
6 One the gladness of rejoicing
on the far eternal shore,
where the one almighty Father
reigns in love for evermore.
7 Onward, therefore, Christian pilgrims,
onward with the cross our aid;
bear its shame, and fight its battle,
till we rest beneath its shade.
8 Soon shall come the great awaking,
soon the rending of the tomb;
then the scattering of all shadows,
and the end of toil and gloom. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Doubt; Endurance; Future hope; Light; Other Saints and Festivals Thomas the Apostle; Perseverance; Pilgrimage; Proper 13 Year B; Proper 25 Year A Used With Tune: MARCHING

what they ask of thee to gain,
what they gain from thee forever
with the blessed to retain,
and hereafter in thy glory
evermore with thee to reign.

Lo! What a Glorious Sight Appears
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 293 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 11:16 Lyrics: 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
The earth and sea are passed away,
And the old rolling skies,
And the old rolling skies,
And the old rolling skies.
2 From the third heaven, where God resides,
That holy, happy place,
The new Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace,
Adorned with shining grace,
Adorned with shining grace.
3 Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing:
“Mortals! behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King,
Of your descending King,
Of your descending King.
4 "His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye;
And pains and groans and griefs and fears,
And death itself shall die,
And death itself shall die,
And death itself shall die!"
5 How long, dear Savior, O how long
Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day,
And bring the welcome day,
And bring the welcome day.
