Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Author: Thomas Hastings Appears in 467 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
Joy to the lands that in darkness have lain!
Hushed be the accents of sorrow and mourning:
Zion, in triumph, begins her mild reign.
2 Lo, in the desert, rich flowers are springing;
Streams ever copious are gliding along;
Loud, from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing;
Wastes rise in verdure, and mingle in song.
3 See, the dead risen from land and from ocean;
Praise to Jehovah, ascending on high;
Fallen are the engines of war and commotion,
Shouts of salvation are rending the sky. Used With Tune: HAIL TO THE BRIGHTNESS
Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning!
O what a mighty change
Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 O what a mighty change
Shall Jesus' followers know,
When o'er the happy plains they range,
Incapable of woe!
2 There all our griefs are passed;
There all our sorrows end;
We gain a peaceful rest at last,
With Jesus Christ, our Friend.
3 No slightest touch of pain,
Nor sorrow's least alloy,
Can violate our rest, or stain
Our purity of joy.
4 In that eternal day,
No clouds nor tempests rise;
There gushing tears are wiped away
Forever from our eyes.
Used With Tune: SILVER STREET
O what a mighty change
And is there, Lord, a rest
Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 And is there, Lord, a rest
For weary souls designed,
Where not a care shall stir the breast,
Or sorrow entrance find!
2 Is there a blissful home,
Where kindred minds shall meet,
And live, and love, nor ever roam
From that serene retreat?
3 My soul would thither tend,
While toilsome years are given;
Then let me, gracious God, ascend
To sweet repose in heaven! Used With Tune: NO SORROW THERE
And is there, Lord, a rest
Jerusalem, the golden
Author: Bernard of Cluny Appears in 922 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem the golden,
With milk and honey blest,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed:
I know not, O I know not
What holy joys are there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel
And all the martyr throng:
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3 There is the throne of David,
And there, from care released,
The song of them that triumph,
The shout of them that feast;
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 O sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest. Used With Tune: EWING

We shall know as we are known
Author: Annie Herbert Appears in 187 hymnals Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints First Line: When the mists have rolled in splendor Lyrics: 1 When the mists have rolled in splendor
From the beauty of the hills,
And the sunshine, warm and tender,
Falls in kisses on the rills,
We may read love's shining letter
In the rainbow of the spray;
We shall know each other better
When the mists have cleared away.
Chorus:
We shall know as we are known
Nevermore to walk alone,
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away;
In the dawning of the morning,
When the mists have cleared away.
2 If we err in human blindness,
And forget that we are dust,
If we miss the law of kindness
When we struggle to be just,
Snowy wings of peace shall cover
All the plain that hides away,
When the weary watch is over,
And the mists have cleared away. [Chorus]
3 When the mists have risen above us,
As our Father knows his own,
Face to face with those that love us,
We shall know as we are known;
Far beyond the orient meadows
Floats the golden fringe of day;
Heart to heart we bide the shadows,
Till the mists have cleared away. [Chorus] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:13 Used With Tune: WE SHALL KNOW

There is a city, fair and bright
Author: Anon. Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Reward of Saints Lyrics: 1 There is a city, fair and bright,
That eye hath never seen,
Where ever dwelleth pure delight,
And heavenly praise serene.
High walls of precious gems and gold
Secure from every ill;
Unheard-of-bliss and joys untold
Within its borders dwell.
2 There living waters ceaseless flow
From out the heavenly throne;
There fairest fruits perennial grow,
And want is never known.
Nor sun by day nor moon by night
This heavenly city needs,
But glory sheds a crystal light
That never wanes nor fades.
3 Nor sin nor sorrow cometh there,
Nor ever death nor pain,
In love abiding, free from care,
The saints forever reign.
Among the many mansions there,
O, is there one for me?
Dear Lord, an humble place prepare,
That I may dwell with thee. Used With Tune: OAKLEY
There is a city, fair and bright
