Who Are These in Bright Array?
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 377 hymnals Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals First Line: Who are these in bright array Lyrics: 1 Who 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, pow'r,
Wisdom, riches to obtain,
New dominion ev'ry 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;
Then the Lamb amidst the throne,
Shall to living fountains lead;
Joy and gladness banish sighs;
Perfect love dispels all fears;
And forever from their eyes
God shall wipe away the tears.

And makes thee strength again.

When ransomed from the grave.

Hath sovereign power to save.

He gives the sufferers rest;
The Lord hath judgments for the proud,
And justice for the opprest.

He made by Moses known,
But sent the world His truth and grace
By His belovèd Son.

Brightest and Best
Author: Reginald Heber Appears in 912 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Christmas First Line: Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Lyrics: 1 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid.
2 Cold on His cradle the dew-drops are shining,
Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall;
Angels adore Him in slumber reclining,
Maker and Monarch and Savior of all.
3 Shall we not yield Him, in costly devotion,
Odors of Edom, and off'rings divine,
Gems of the mountain, and pearls of the ocean,
Myrrh from the forest, and gold from the mine?
4 Vainly we offer each ample oblation,
Vainly with gifts would His favor secure;
Richer by far is the heart's adoration,
Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor.
5 Brightest and best of the sons of the morning,
Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid;
Star of the east, the horizon adorning,
Guide where our infant Redeemer is laid. Used With Tune: EASTWELL

Father of love and light,
Speed on The Word!

All the wide world around,
Wherever man is found!

2 Lo, what embattled foes,
Stern in their hate, oppose
God's holy Word!
One for His truth we stand,
Strong in His own right hand,
Firm as a martyr band:--
God shield His Word!
3 Onward shall be our course
In spite of fraud and force;
God is before:
His Word ere long shall run
Free as the noonday sun;
His purpose must be done:--
God bless His Word!
Amen. Used With Tune: DORT
Lord of All Power and Might
