Author: John Mason Neale; St. John of Damascus Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 60 hymnals First Line: Those eternal bowers man hath never trod Lyrics: Those eternal bowers Man hath never trod, Those unfading flowers Round the Throne of GOD: Who may hope to gain them After weary fight? Who at length attain them Clad in robes of white? He, who gladly barters All on earthly ground; He who, like the Martyrs, Says, ‘I WILL be crowned:’ He, whose one oblation Is a life of love; Clinging to the nation Of the Blest above. Shame upon you, legions Of the Heavenly King, Denizens of regions Past imagining! What! with pipe and tabor Fool away the light, When He bids you labour,— When He tells you,—‘Fight!’ While I do my duty, Struggling through the tide, Whisper Thou of beauty On the other side! Tell who will the story Of our now distress: Oh the future glory! Oh the loveliness! Hymns of the Eastern Church, 1866 Text Sources: Greek

Those eternal bowers

Author: J. M. Neale Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #395b (1898) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: 1 Those eternal bowers Man hath never trod, Those unfading flowers Round the Throne of God: Who may hope to gain them After weary fight? Who at length attain them Clad in robes of white? 2 He who wakes from slumber At the Spirit's voice, Daring here to number Things unseen his choice: He who casts his burden Down at Jesus' cross; Christ's reproach his guerdon, All beside but loss 3 He, who gladly barters All on earthly ground; He who, like the martyrs, Says, "I will be crowned:" He, whose one oblation Is a life of love, Knit in God's salvation To the blest above. 4 Shame upon you, legions Of the Heavenly King, Citizens of regions Past imagining! What, with pipe and tabor Dream away the light, When He bids you labor, When He tells you, "Fight!" 5 Jesu, Lord of glory, As we breast the tide, Whisper Thou the story On the other side; Where the saints are casting Crowns before Thy feet, Safe for everlasting, In Thyself complete. Amen. Topics: Consecration; Processionals General; Progress Tune Title: DAVID
