How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Hymnal: The Irish Presbyterian Hymnbook #R66a (2004) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine!
whence all their white array?
How came they to the blissful seats
of everlasting day?
2 Lo, these are they from suff'rings great,
who came to realms of light,
and in the blood of Christ have wash'd
those robes that shine so bright.
3 Now, with triumphal palms they stand
before the throne on high,
and serve the God they love, amidst
the glories of the sky.
4 His presence fills each heart with joy,
tunes ev'ry mouth to sing:
by day, by night, the sacred courts
with glad hosannas ring.
5 Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
nor sun with scorching ray:
God is their sun, whose cheering beams
diffuse eternal day.
6 The Lamb, who dwells amidst the throne
shall o'er them still preside,
feed them with nourishment divine,
and all their footsteps guide.
7 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock,
where living streams appear;
and God the Lord from every eye
shall wipe off ev'ry tear. Scripture: Revelation 7:13-17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST ASAPH

Behold a Sower! from afar
Author: Dr. Washington Gladden, 1836- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #356 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Behold a Sower! from afar
He goeth forth with might;
The rolling years His furrows are,
His seed the growing light;
For all the just His word is sown,
It springeth up, always;
The tender blade is hope's young dawn,
The harvest, love's new day.
2 O Lord of life, to Thee we lift
Our hearts in praise for those,
Thy prophets, who have shown Thy gift
Of grace that ever grows,
Of truth that spreads from shore to shore,
Of wisdom's widening ray
Of light that shineth more and more
Unto Thy perfect day.
3 Shine forth, O Light, that we may see,
With hearts all unafraid,
The meaning and the mystery
Of things that Thou hast made:
Shine forth, and let the darkling past
Beneath Thy beam grow bright;
Shine forth, and touch the future vast
With Thine untroubled light.
4 Light up Thy Word; the fettered page
From killing bondage free;
Light up our way; lead forth this age
In love's large liberty!
O Light of light! within us dwell,
Through us Thy radiance pour,
That word and life Thy truths may tell,
And praise Thee evermore. Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service; Sowing and Reaping; Refuge, God, our Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

Life's Sunset
Author: W. B. O. Peabody Hymnal: Laudes Domini #547 (1890) First Line: Behold the western evening light! Lyrics: 1 Behold the western evening light!
It melts in deepening gloom:
So calmly Christians sink away,
Descending to the tomb.
The winds breathe low, the withering leaf
Scarce whispers from the tree:
So gently flows the parting breath,
When good men cease to be.
2 How beautiful on all the hills
The crimson light is shed!
'Tis like the peace the Christian gives
To mourners round his bed.
How mildly on the wandering cloud
The sunset beam is cast!
'Tis like the memory left behind
When loved ones breathe their last.
3 And now above the dews of night
The rising star appears:
So faith springs in the heart of those
Whose eyes are bathed in tears.
But soon the morning's happier light
Its glory shall restore,
And eyelids that are sealed in death
Shall wake to close no more. Topics: The Christian's Death; Death; Hope In Death; Resurrection Of Believers ; Death; Hope In Death; Resurrection Of Believers Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH

O Quanta Qualia
Author: Samuel W. Duffield Hymnal: Laudes Domini #595 (1888) First Line: Oh, what shall be, oh, when shall be Lyrics: Part 1.
1 Oh, what shall be, oh, when shall be,
That holy Sabbath day,
Which heavenly care shall ever keep,
And celebrate always;
When rest is found for weary limbs,
When labor hath reward,
When everything, for evermore,
Is joyful in the Lord?
2 The true Jerusalem above,
The holy town, is there,
Whose duties are so full of joy,
Whose joy so free from care;
Where disappointment cometh not
To check the longing heart,
And where the soul in ecstasy
Hath gained her better part.
3 There, there, secure from every ill,
In freedom we shall sing
The songs of Zion, hindered here
By days of suffering;
And unto thee our gracious Lord
Our praises shall confess
That all our sorrow hath been good,
And thou by pain canst bless.
Part II.
4 O glorious King! O happy State!
A Palace of the blest!
O sacred peace, and holy joy,
And perfect heavenly rest!
To thee aspire thy citizens
In glory's bright array,
And what they feel and what they know
They strive in vain to say.
5 But while we wait and long for home,
It shall be ours to raise
Our songs and chants and vows and prayers
In that dear country's praise;
And from these Babylonian streams
To lift our weary eyes,
And view the city that we love
Descending from the skies.
6 There Sabbath day to Sabbath day
Sheds on a ceaseless light;
Eternal pleasure of the saints
Who keep that Sabbath bright;
Nor shall the chant ineffable
Decline, nor ever cease,
Which we with all the angels sing
In that sweet realm of peace. Scripture: Job 3:17 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ASAPH
