Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing

Author: Frederic W. H. Myers, 1843-1901 Hymnal: NEP2006 #600 (2006) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing, Stirs on the earth and trembles in the air! Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing? Is it the music of his people's prayer? 2 Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices Shout to the saints, and to the deaf are dumb; Surely he cometh, and the earth rejoices, Glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come! 3 This hath he done, and shall we not adore him? This shall he do, and can we still despair? Come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him, Cast at his feet the burden of our care. 4 Through life and death, through sorrow and through sinning, He shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed: Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning, Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ.

Alleluya, song of sweetness

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEP2006 #605 (2006) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Alleluya, song of sweetness, Voice of joy that cannot die; Alleluya is the anthem Ever dear to choirs on high: In the house of God abiding Thus they sing eternally. 2 Alleluya thou resoundest, True Jerusalem and free; Alleluya, joyful mother, All thy children sing with thee; But by Babylon's sad waters Mourning exiles now are we. 3 Alleluya cannot always Be our song while here below; Alleluya our transgressions Make us for awhile forgo; For the solemn time is coming When our tears for sin must flow. 4 Therefore in our hymns we pray thee, Grant us, blessèd Trinity, At the last to keep thine Easter In our home beyond the sky, There to thee for ever singing Alleluya joyfully.
