Brief life is here our portion
Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 247 hymnals Lyrics:
Brief life is here our portion,
Brief sorrow, short-lived care;
The life that knows no ending,
The tearless life is there!
O happy retribution!
Short toil, eternal rest,
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest!
There grief is turned to pleasure;
Such pleasure as below
No human voice can utter,
No human heart can know;
And after fleshly weakness,
And after this world's night,
And after storm and whirlwind,
Are calm, and joy, and light.
And now we fight the battle,
But then shall wear the crown
Of full and everlasting
And passionless renown;
And he whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known,
And they that know and see him
Shall have him for their own.
And now we watch and struggle,
And now we live in hope,
And Sion in her anguish
With Babylon must cope;
But there is David's fountain,
And life in fullest glow;
And there the light is golden,
And milk and honey flow.
The morning shall awaken,
The shadows flee away,
And each true-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day;
For God our King and Portion,
In fullness of his grace,
We then shall see for ever,
And worship face to face.
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.
Amen.

O That the Lord's Salvation

Were out of Zion come,
To heal His ancient nation,
To lead His outcasts home!
2. How long the holy city
Shall heathen feet profane?
Return, O Lord, in pity;
Rebuild her walls again.
3. Let fall Thy rod of terror;
Thy saving grace impart;
Roll back the veil of error;
Release the fettered heart.
4. Let Israel, home returning,
Their lost Messiah see;
Give oil of joy for mourning,
And bind Thy church to Thee. Used With Tune: ST. ALPHEGE

O Heavenly Jerusalem
Author: Isaac Williams Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O heavenly Jerusalem,
Of everlasting halls,
Thrice blessèd are the people
Thou storest in thy walls.
2. Thou art the golden mansion,
Where saints forever sing,
The seat of God’s own chosen,
The palace of the king.
3. There God forever sitteth,
Himself of all the crown,
The Lamb, the Light that shineth,
And never goeth down.
4. Naught to this seat approacheth
Their sweet peace to molest;
They sing their God forever,
Nor day nor night they rest.
5. Sure hope doth thither lead us;
Our longings thither tend;
May short lived toil ne’er daunt us
For joys that cannot end.
6. To Christ the sun that lightens
His Church above, below,
To Father, and to Spirit,
All things created bow. Used With Tune: ST. ALPHEGE Text Sources: From the Paris Breviary, some time after the 1736 edition; Translation in Hymns Translated from the Paris Breviary, 1839, p 258

A great and mighty wonder
Author: St. Anatolius; John Mason Neale, D. D. Appears in 127 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A great and mighty wonder
Our Christmas festal brings:
On earth, a lowly Infant,
Behold the King of kings.
2 The Word is made incarnate,
Descending from on high;
And Cherubim to shepherds
Sing anthems from the sky.
3 And we with them triumphant,
Repeat the hymn again:
"To God on high be glory,
And peace on earth to men!"
4 While thus they sing your Monarch,
Those bright angelic bands,
Rejoice, ye vales and mountains!
Ye oceans, clap your hands!
5 Since all He comes to ransom,
By all be He adored,
The Infant born in Bethlehem,
The Savior and the Lord!
6 And idol-forms shall perish,
And error shall decay,
And Christ shall wield His scepter,
Our Lord and God for aye. Topics: The Church Year Christmas; Sunday after Christmas Used With Tune: MONARCH (St. Alphege)
