Jerusalem the golden!

Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 915 hymnals Lyrics: Jerusalem the golden! With milk and honey blest; Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice opprest. I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there! What radiancy of glory! What bliss beyond compare! 466 They stand, those halls of Sion, 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 blessèd Are decked in glorious sheen. There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast. And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. O sweet and blessèd country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessèd 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.

In pastures green He feeds me, With plenty I am blest; By quiet streams He leads me, And makes me safely rest. 2. Whatever ill betides me, He will restore and bless; For His name’s sake He guides me, In paths of righteousness. Thy rod and staff shall cheer me In death’s dark vale and shade, For Thou wilt then be near me; I shall not be afraid. 3. My food Thou dost appoint me, Supplied before my foes; With oil Thou dost anoint me, My cup of bliss o’erflows. Thy goodness, Lord, shall guide me, Thy mercy cheer my way; A home Thou wilt provide me Within Thy house always.

The World Is Very Evil

Author: John M. Neale; Bernard of Morlas Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil, The times are waxing late: Be sober and keep vigil, The Judge is at the gate: The Judge that comes in mercy, The Judge that comes with might, To terminate the evil, To diadem the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heav'nly gladness lead, To light that hath no evening, That knows no moon nor sun, The light so new and golden, The light that is but one. 3 O home of fadeless splendor, Of flow'rs that bear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children, Who here as exiles mourn. Midst pow'r that knows no limit, Where knowledge has no bound, The beatific vision Shall glad the saints around. 4 Strive, man, to win that glory; Toil, man, to gain that light; Send hope before to grasp it Till hope be lost in sight. Exult, O dust and ashes, The Lord shall be thy part; His only, His forever, Thou shalt be and thou art. 5 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 paradise of joy, Where tears are ever banished, And smiles have no alloy! The cross is all thy splendor, The Crucified thy praise; His laud and benediction Thy ransomed people raise. 3 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean! Thou hast no time, bright day! Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Upon the Rock of Ages They raise the holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel And thine the golden dower. Amen.
