God Is Here! As We His People
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Topics: Commemorations and Occasions Artists and Scientists; Commemorations and Occasions Pastors and Biships Lyrics: 1 God is here! As we his people
Meet to offer praise and prayer,
May we find in fuller measure
What it is in Christ we share:
Here, as in the world around us,
All our varied skills and arts
Wait the coming of his Spirit
Into open minds and hearts.
2 Here are symbols to remind us
Of our lifelong need of grace;
Here are table, font and pulpit;
Here the cross has central place:
Here in honesty of preaching,
Here in silence as in speech,
Here in newness and renewal
God the Spirit comes to each.
3 Here our children find a welcome
In the Shepherd's flock and fold;
Here, as bread and wine are taken,
Christ sustains us as of old:
Here the servants of the Servant
Seek in worship to explore
What it means in daily living
To believe and to adore.
4 Lord of all, of church and kingdom,
In an age of change and doubt,
Keep us faithful to the gospel,
Help us work your purpose out:
Here, in this day's dedication,
All we have to give, receive;
We who cannot live without you,
We adore you! We believe! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:27-31 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH
God Is Here! As We His People

all jubilant with song,
and bright with many an angel,
and all the martyr throng;
the Prince is ever with them,
the daylight is serene,
the pastures of the blessèd
are decked in glorious sheen.

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.
4 O sweet and blessèd country,
the home of God's elect!

that eager hearts expect!

to that dear land of rest;
who art, with God the Father
and Spirit, ever blest. Scripture: Revelation 21:18 Used With Tune: EWING Text Sources: Other translator: Editors of Hymns Ancient and Modern

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Appears in 631 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations Lyrics: 1 'Forever with the Lord!'
Amen: so let it be;
life from the death is in that word,
'tis immortality.
Here in the body pent,
absent from him, I roam,
yet nightly pitch my moving tent
a day's march nearer home.
2 My Father's house on high,
home of my soul, how near
at times to faith's foreseeing eye
thy golden gates appear!
Ah! Then my spirit faints
to reach the land I love,
the bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above.
3 'For ever with the Lord!'
Father, if 'tis thy will,
the promise of that faithful word
even here to me fulfill.
be thou at my right hand,
then can I never fail;
uphold thou me, and I shall stand,
fight, and I must prevail.
4 So when my latest breath
shall rend the veil in twain,
by death I shall escape from death,
and life eternal gain.
Knowing as I am known,
how shall I love that word,
and oft repeat before the throne,
'forever with the Lord!' Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Used With Tune: NEARER HOME
'For ever with the Lord!'

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?
O 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 things 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. Used With Tune: O QUANTA QUALIA

Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Appears in 434 hymnals Topics: Sacraments and Other Occasions Funerals/Commemorations Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand,
in sparkling raiment bright,
the armies of the ransomed saints
throng up the steeps of light:
'tis finished! All is finished,
their fight with death and sin;
fling open wide the golden gates,
and let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
and all its tribes were made!
O joy, for all its former woes
a thousand-fold repaid!
3 Oh, then what raptured greetings
on Canaan's happy shore,
what knitting severed friendships up,
where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
that brimmed with tears of late;
orphans no longer fatherless,
nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near thy great salvation,
thou Lamb for sinners slain,
fill up the roll of thine elect,
then take thy power and reign;
appear, Desire of Nations,
thine exiles long for home;
show in the heavens thy promised sign;
thou Prince and Saviour, come. Scripture: Revelation 7:17 Used With Tune: ALFORD
