Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #534b (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Pilgrimage Lyrics: 1 For thee, O dear, dear country, Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding Thy happy name, they weep; 2 The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness, And love, and life, and rest. 3 O one, O only mansion, O Paradise of joy! Where tears are ever banished, And smiles have no alloy; 4 The Cross is all thy splendor, The Crucified thy praise; His laud and benediction Thy ransomed people raise. 5 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean; Thou hast no time, bright day; Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! 6 Upon the Rock of Ages They raise thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel, And thine the golden dower. 7 O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect; O sweet and blessèd country, That eager hearts expect! 8 Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ELY CATHEDRAL

Author: Godfrey Thring, 1823-1903 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #597 (1958) Topics: The Life In Christ Life Everlasting; The Life In Christ Commemoration Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices Around the great white throne, With harpers harping on their harps To him that sat thereon: 'Salvation, glory, honor!' I heard the song arise, As through the courts of heaven it rolled In wondrous harmonies. 2 From every clime and kindred, And nations from afar, As serried ranks returning home In triumph from a war, I heard the saints upraising, The myriad hosts among, In praise of him who died and lives, Their one glad triumph song. A-men. 3 I saw the holy city, The New Jerusalem, Come down from heaven, a bride adorned With jeweled diadem; The flood of crystal waters Flowed down the golden street; And nations brought their honors there, And laid them at her feet. 4 And there no sun was needed, Nor moon to shine by night, God's glory did enlighten all, The Lamb himself the light; And there his servants serve him, And, life's long battle o'er, Enthroned with him, their Saviour King, They reign for evermore. 5 O great and glorious vision, The Lamb upon his throne! O wondrous sight for man to see! The Saviour with his own: To drink the living waters And stand upon the shore, Where neither sorrow, sin, nor death Shall ever enter more. 6 O Lamb of God who reignest, Thou bright and morning Star! Whose glory lightens that new earth Which now we see from far; O worthy Judge eternal, When thou dost bid us come, Then open wide the gates of pearl And call thy servants home. Amen.
