Glory to the Lamb

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 82 hymnals First Line: Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power Lyrics: 1 Blessing, and honor, and glory, and pow'r, Wisdom, and riches, and strength, evermore, Give ye to him who our battle hath won, Whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the throne. 2 Dwelleth the light of the glory with him, Light of a glory that cannot grow dim, Light in its silence and beauty and calm, Light in its gladness and brightness and balm. 3 Ever ascendeth the song and the joy, Ever descendeth the love from on high, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and praise, This is the theme of the hymns that we raise. 4 Life of all life, and true Light of all light, Star of the dawning, unchangingly bright, Sun of the Salem whose lamp is the Lamb, Theme of the ever-new, ever-glad psalm! 5 Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb, Take we the robe and the harp and the palm, Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain, Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

Oh, what the joy and the glory must be

Author: Rev. J. M. Neale; P. Abelard Appears in 139 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, what the joy and the glory must be, Those endless Sabbaths the blessèd ones see! Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest; God shall be all, and in all ever blest. 2 What are the Monarch, His court, and His throne? What are the peace and the joy that they own? Oh, that the blest ones, who in it have share, All that they feel could as fully declare! 3 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore, Vision of peace, that brings joy evermore; Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er, Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer. 4 There, where no troubles distraction can bring, We the sweet anthems of Sion shall sing; While for thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise Thy blessèd people eternally raise. 5 There dawns no Sabbath, no Sabbath is o'er, Those Sabbath-keepers have one evermore; One and unending is that triumph-song Which to the angels and us shall belong. 6 Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, We for that country must yearn and must sigh; Seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, Through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 7 Low before Him with our praises we fall, Of Whom, and in Whom, and through Whom are all; Of Whom, the Father; and in Whom, the Son; Through Whom, the Spirit, with Them ever One. Amen. Topics: All Saints; Burial of the Dead; General; Processional; Church At Rest; Hope Used With Tune: [Oh, what the joy and the glory must be]

Glory to the Lamb

Oh, what the joy and the glory must be

Hail to the brightness of Zion's glad morning

Eternal Ruler of the ceaseless round

Singing for Jesus, our Saviour and King

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Christian Endeav'rers

Honor and glory, thanksgiving and praise

All things are ours; how abundant the treasure

Holy and infinite! viewless! eternal!
