How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine!
Whence all their bright array?
How came they to the blissful seats
of everlasting day?
Lo! these are they, from sufferings great
who came to realms of light,
and in the blood of Christ have washed
those robes which shine so bright.
2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand
before the throne on high,
and serve the God they love, amidst
the glories of the sky.
His presence fills each heart with joy,
tunes every mouth to sing:
by day, by night, the sacred courts
with glad hosannas ring.
3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more,
nor suns with scorching ray;
God is their sun, whose cheering beams
diffuse eternal day.
The Lamb who dwells amidst the throne
shall o'er them still preside,
feed them with nourishment divine,
and all their footsteps guide.
4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock,
where living streams appear;
and God the Lord from every eye
shall wipe off every tear. Topics: The Church Celebrates Oneness with the Church in Heaven; Communion of Saints; Funerals general Scripture: Revelation 7:13-17 Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781, Parpahrase 66

Behold a Sower! from afar
Author: Dr. Washington Gladden, 1836- Appears in 30 hymnals 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 Used With Tune: ST. ASAPH

Ye Gates, Lift Up Your Heads
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 42 hymnals First Line: Ye gates, lift up your heads on high Lyrics:
1 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high;
ye doors that last for aye,
be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
But who of glory is the King?
The mighty Lord is this;
e'en that same Lord that strong in might
and great in glory is.
2 Ye gates, lift up your heads; ye doors,
doors that do last for aye,
be lifted up, that so the King
of glory enter may.
But who is he that is the King of glory?
who is this?
The Lord is hosts, and none but he
the King of glory is.
