The Homeland! O The Homeland!
Author: H. R. Haweis Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Heaven Lyrics: 1 The Homeland! O the Homeland!
The land of souls free-born!
No gloomy night is known there,
But aye the fade-less morn:
I’m sighing for that Country,
My heart is aching here;
There is no pain in the Homeland,
To which I'm drawing near.
2 My Lord is in the Homeland,
With angels bright and fair;
No sinful thing nor evil
Can ever enter there;
The music of the ransomed
Is ringing in my ears,
And when I think of the Homeland,
My eyes are wet with tears.
3 For loved ones in the Homeland
Are waiting me to come
Where neither death nor sorrow
Invade their holy home:
O dear, dear native Country!
O rest and peace above!
Christ bring us all to the Homeland
Of His eternal love.
Amen.

See the long-expected Lord;
Ancient prophets had foretold Him,
God has now fulfilled His Word;
Now to praise Him, His redeemed
Shall break forth with one accord.

Virgin pure, behold Him lie,
While His aged saints adore Him,
Ere in perfect faith they die.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Lo, th'incarnate God most high!
3 Jesus, by Thy presentation,
Thou who cam'st in lowly mien,
Make us see our great salvation,
Make our hearts all pure within;
O present us in Thy glory
To Thy Father, pure and clean.

Christ The Lord Is Risen Today
Author: Jane E. Leeson Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Easter First Line: Christ the Lord is ris'n today Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today,
Christians, haste your vows to pay;
Offer ye your praises meet
At the Paschal Victim's feet.
For the sheep the Lamb hath bled,
Sinless in the sinner's stead;
Christ is ris'n today, we cry:
Now He lives, no more to die.
2 Christ, the Victim undefiled,
Man to God hath reconciled,
When, in strange and awful strife,
Met together death and life.
Christians, on this happy day,
Haste with joy your vows to pay;
Christ is ris'n today, we cry:
Now He lives, no more to die.
3 Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and pow'r,
Lives and reigns for evermore.
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, Thou King of victory!
Hail, Thou Prince of life adored!
Help and save us, gracious Lord!
Amen.

Sing, My Tongue, The Savior's Battle
Author: Edward Caswall; Fortunatus Venantius Meter: 8.7.7.8.7.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Lent Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the Savior's battle,
Tell His triumph far and wide;
Tell aloud the wondrous story
Of His body crucified;
How upon the cross a victim,
Vanquishing in death, He died.
2 Lo, with gall His thirst He quenches,
See the thorns upon His brow;
Nails His tender flesh are rending;
See, His side is pierced now;
Whence, to cleanse the whole creation,
Streams of blood and water flow.
3 Christ, to Thee with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
And unwearied praises be:
Honor, glory and dominion
And eternal victory.
Amen. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE

Hasten The Time Appointed
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 Hasten the time appointed,
By prophets long foretold,
When all shall dwell together,
One Shepherd and one fold.
Let ev'ry idol perish,
To moles and bats be thrown,
And ev'ry prayer be offered
To God in Christ alone.
2 Let Jew and Gentile, meeting
From many a distant shore,
Around one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore.
Let all that now divides us
Remove and pass away,
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaze of day.
3 O long-expected dawning,
Come with thy cheering ray!
When shall the morning brighten,
The shadows flee away?
O sweet anticipation!
It cheers the watchers on,
To pray, and hope, and labor
Until dark night be gone.
Amen. Used With Tune: UNITY

O Lamb Of God, Still Keep Me
Author: J. C. Deck Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 161 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Lent Lyrics: 1 O Lamb of God, still keep me
Near to Thy wounded side!
'Tis only there in safety
And peace I can abide.
What foes and snares surround me,
What doubts and fears within!
The grace that sought and found me,
Alone can keep me clean.
2 'Tis only in Thee hiding,
I feel my life secure;
Only in Thee abiding,
The conflict can endure;
Thine arm the vict'ry gaineth
O'er ev'ry hateful foe;
Thy love my heart sustaineth
In all its care and woe.
3 Soon shall my eyes behold Thee
With rapture, face to face;
One half hath not been told me
Of all Thy pow'r and grace:
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
The wonders of Thy love,
Shall be the endless story
Of all Thy saints above.
Amen. Used With Tune: MAKER

Light Of The Gentile Nations
Author: Catherine Winkworth; J. Franck Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 36 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Light of the Gentile nations,
Thy people's joy and love!
Drawn by Thy Spirit hither,
We gladly come to prove
Thy presence in Thy temple
And wait with earnest mind,
As Simeon once had waited
His Savior God to find.
2 Yea, Lord, Thy servants meet Thee,
E'en now, in ev'ry place
Where Thy true Word hath promised
That they should see Thy face.
Thou yet wilt gladly grant us,
Who gather round Thee here,
In faith's strong arms to bear Thee,
As did that aged seer.
3 Be Thou our joy, our brightness,
That shines 'mid pain and loss,
Our sun in times of terror,
The glory round our cross;
A glow in sinking spirits,
A sunbeam in distress;
Physician, friend in sickness;
In death, our happiness.
4 O let us, Lord, be faithful
Like Simeon to the end,
So that his dying anthem
May from our hearts ascend:
O Lord, now let Thy servant
Depart in peace, I pray,
Since I have seen my Savior
And have beheld His day.
5 My Savior, I behold Thee
Now with the eye of faith;
No foe of Thee can rob me,
Though bitter words he saith.
Within Thy heart abiding,
As Thou dost dwell in me,
No pain, no death has terrors
To part my soul from Thee.
Amen.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 867 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Christmas First Line: O little town of Bethlehem! Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem!
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wond'ring love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God our King,
And peace to men on earth!
3 O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.
Amen. Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

Hark! The Song Of Jubilee
Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 447 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 Hark! the song of jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
Or the fullness of the sea
When it breaks upon the shore:
Hallelujah! for the Lord
God omnipotent shall reign;
Hallelujah! let the word
Echo round the earth and main;
Hallelujah! let the word
Echo round the earth and main.
2 Hallelujah! hark, the sound,
From the depths unto the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation's harmonies:
See Jehovah's banner furled,
Sheathed His sword; He speaks--'tis done,
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of His Son;
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of His Son.
3 He shall reign from pole to pole
With illimitable sway;
He shall reign when like a scroll
Yonder heav'ns have passed away;
Then the end--beneath His rod
Man's last enemy shall fall;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all;
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all.
Amen. Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN

To tell to all the world that God is Light,
That He who made all nations is not willing
One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.

Publish glad tidings;
Tidings of peace;
Tidings of Jesus,
Redemption and release. A-men.

Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Savior's dying,
Or of the life He died for them to win. [Refrain]

Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way;
Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious;
And all thou spendest, Jesus will repay. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ANGELIC SONGS
