Jerusalem the golden!
Author: St. Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 913 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.

Within His tender care,
And with His flock He folds me,
No want shall find me there.

And makes me safely rest.

For His name’s sake He guides me,
In paths of righteousness.

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 mercy cheer my way;
A home Thou wilt provide me
Within Thy house always. Used With Tune: EWING Text Sources: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912), number 55

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.

My spirit turns for rest,
My peace is in Thy favor,
My pillow on Thy breast;
Though all the world deceive me,
I know that I am Thine,
And Thou wilt never leave me,
O blessed Savior mine.
2 In Thee my trust abideth,
On Thee my hope relies,
O Thou whose love provideth
For all beneath the skies;
O Thou whose mercy found me,
From bondage set me free,
And then for ever bound me
With threefold cords to Thee.
3 My grief is in the dullness
With which this sluggish heart
Doth open to the fulness
Of all Thou wouldst impart;
My joy is in Thy beauty
Of holiness divine,
My comfort in the duty
That binds my life in Thine.
4 Alas, that I should ever
Have failed in love to Thee,
The only one who never
Forgot or slighted me!
O for a heart to love Thee
More truly as I ought,
And nothing place above Thee
In deed, or word, or thought.
5 O for that choicest blessing
Of living in Thy love,
And thus on earth possessing
The peace of heaven above;
O for the bliss that by it
The soul securely knows
The holy calm and quiet
Of faith's serene repose! Topics: The Church Year Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity; The Church Year Nineteenth Sunday after Trinity; Peace and Joy Used With Tune: [To Thee, O dear, dear Savior!]

A Light Came Out of Darkness
Author: William A. Hawley Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A light came out of darkness;
No light, no hope had we,
Till Jesus came from Heaven
Our light and hope to be.
Oh, as I read the story
From birth to dying cry,
A longing fills my bosom
To meet Him by and by.
2. How tender His compassion
How loving was His call,
How earnest His entreaty
To sinners, one and all.
He wooed, and won them to Him
By love, and that is why
I long to be like Jesus,
And meet Him by and by.
3. Yet deeper do I ponder,
His cross and sorrow see,
And ever gaze and wonder
Why Jesus died for me.
And shall I fear to own Him?
Can I my Lord deny?
No! let me love Him, serve Him,
And meet Him by and by. Used With Tune: EWING Text Sources: The Musical Salvationist, October 1901

From All Thy Saints in Warfare
Author: Horatio Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 116 hymnals Lyrics: 1. From all Thy saints in warfare,
for all Thy saints at rest,
To Thee, O blessèd Jesus,
all praises be addressed;
Thou, Lord, didst win the battle,
that they might conquerors be;
Their crowns of living glory
are lit with rays from Thee.
2. Praise, Lord, for Thine apostle,
the first to welcome Thee,
The first to lead his brother
the very Christ to see.
With hearts for Thee made ready,
watch we throughout the year,
Forward to lead our brethren
to own Thine Advent near.
3. All praise for Thine apostle,
whose short lived doubtings prove
Thy perfect twofold nature,
the fullness of Thy love.
On all who wait Thy coming
shed forth Thy peace, O Lord,
And grant us faith to know Thee,
true man, true God, adored.
4. Praise for the first of martyrs,
who saw Thee ready stand
To aid in midst of torments,
to plead at God’s right hand.
Share we with him, if summoned
by death our Lord to own,
On earth the faithful witness,
in heaven the martyr’s crown.
5. Praise for the loved disciple,
exiled on Patmos’ shore;
Praise for the faithful record
he to Thy Godhead bore,
Praise for the mystic vision
through him to us revealed.
May we, in patience waiting,
with Thine elect be sealed.
6. Praise for Thine infant martyrs,
by Thee with tenderest love
Called early from the warfare
to share the rest above.
O Rachel! cease thy weeping:
they rest from pains and cares.
Lord, grant us hearts as guileless
and crowns as bright as theirs.
7. Praise for the light from Heaven,
praise for the voice of awe,
Praise for the glorious vision
the persecutor saw.
Thee, Lord, for his conversion,
we glorify today;
So lighten all our darkness
with Thy true Spirit’s ray.
8. Lord, Thine abiding presence
directs the wondrous choice
For one in place of Judas
the faithful now rejoice.
Thy Church from false apostles
forevermore defend,
And by Thy parting promise
be with her to the end.
9. For him, O Lord, we praise Thee,
the weak by grace made strong,
Whose labors and whose Gospel
enrich our triumph song.
May we in all our weakness find
strength from Thee supplied,
And all, as fruitful branches,
in Thee, the vine, abide.
10. All praise for Thine apostle,
blest guide to Greek and Jew,
And him surnamed Thy brother;
keep us Thy brethren true,
And grant us grace to know Thee,
the way, the truth, the life;
To wrestle with temptations still
victors in the strife.
11. The son of consolation,
moved by Thy law of love,
Forsaking earthly treasures,
sought riches from above.
As earth now teems with increase,
let gifts of grace descend,
That Thy true consolations
may through the world extend.
12. We praise Thee for the Baptist,
forerunner of the Word,
Our true Elias, making
a highway for the Lord.
Of prophets last and greatest,
we saw Thy dawning ray:
Make us the rather blessèd
who love Thy glorious day.
13. Praise for thy great apostle,
the eager and the bold;
Thrice falling, yet repentant,
thrice charged to keep Thy fold.
Lord, make Thy pastors faithful
to guard their flocks from ill,
And grant them dauntless courage,
with humble, earnest will.
14. For him, O Lord, we praise Thee,
who, slain by Herod’s sword
Drank of Thy cup of suffering,
fulfilling thus Thy word.
Curb we all vain impatience
to read Thy veiled decree,
And count it joy to suffer,
if so brought nearer Thee.
15. All praise for Thine apostle,
the faithful, pure, and true,
Whom underneath the fig tree
Thine eye all seeing knew.
Like him may we be guileless,
true Israelites indeed,
That Thy abiding presence
our longing souls may feed.
16. Praise, Lord, for Him whose Gospel
Thy human life declared,
Who, worldly gains forsaking,
Thy path of suffering shared.
From all unrighteous Mammon
O give us hearts set free,
That we, whate’er our calling,
may rise and follow Thee.
17. For that beloved physician,
all praise, whose Gospel shows
The healer of the nations,
the sharer of our woes.
Thy wine and oil, O Savior,
and bruised hearts deign to pour,
And with true balm of Gilead
anoint us evermore.
18. Praise, Lord, for Thine apostles,
who sealed their faith today:
One love, one zeal impelled them
to tread the sacred way.
May we with zeal as earnest
the faith of Christ maintain,
And, bound in love as brethren,
at length Thy rest attain.
19. Apostles, prophets, martyrs,
and all the sacred throng,
Who wear the spotless raiment,
who raise the ceaseless song,
For these, passed on before us,
Savior, we Thee adore,
And, walking in their footsteps,
would serve Thee more and more.
20. Then praise we God the Father,
and praise we God the Son,
And God the Holy Spirit,
eternal Three in One;
Till all the ransomed number
fall down before the throne,
And honor, power, and glory,
ascribe to God alone. Used With Tune: EWING Text Sources: Hymn for Saint's Day and Other Hymns, 1864

I Could Not Do Without Thee
Author: Frances R. Havergal Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 187 hymnals Lyrics: 1. I could not do without Thee
O Savior of the lost,
Whose precious blood redeemed me
At such tremendous cost.
Thy righteousness, Thy pardon
Thy precious blood, must be
My only hope and comfort,
My glory and my plea.
2. I could not do without Thee,
I cannot stand alone,
I have no strength or goodness,
No wisdom of my own;
But Thou, belovèd Savior,
Art all in all to me,
And weakness will be power
If leaning hard on Thee.
3. I could not do without Thee,
For, oh, the way is long,
And I am often weary,
And sigh replaces song:
How could I do without Thee?
I do not know the way;
Thou knowest, and Thou leadest,
And wilt not let me stray.
4. I could not do without Thee,
O Jesus, Savior dear;
E’en when my eyes are holden,
I know that Thou art near.
How dreary and how lonely
This changeful life would be,
Without the sweet communion,
The secret rest with Thee!
5. I could not do without Thee;
No other friend can read
The spirit’s strange deep longings,
Interpreting its need;
No human heart could enter
Each dim recess of mine,
And soothe, and hush, and calm it,
O blessèd Lord, but Thine.
6. I could not do without Thee,
For years are fleeting fast,
And soon in solemn oneness
The river must be passed;
But Thou wilt never leave me,
And though the waves roll high,
I know Thou wilt be near me,
And whisper, It is I. Used With Tune: EWING Text Sources: Home Words, 1873

Where fathers love His Gospel and sons feed on His Word,
Where mothers pour His mercy on daughters of His love,
Where waves of His compassion bring joy where’er they move.

Was there no other place

4 To make men priests and monarchs,
Joint heirs with Him on high,

Descendeth from the sky.

Leaving His throne of flame,

To suffer grief and shame.

2 Oh, happy, holy portal
For God’s own blest elect;
Oh, region, pure, immortal,
With better spring bedecked;
Thy pearly doors for ever
Their welcome shall extend,
Where darkness cometh never,
And joy shall never end.
3 Oh, home where God the Father
Takes all His children in;
Where Christ the Son shall gather
The sinners saved from sin;
No night nor fear shall sever
A friend from any friend,
For darkness cometh never,
And joy shall never end.
4 Rise, then, O brightest morning!
Come, then, triumphant day
When into new adorning
We change and pass away;
For so with firm endeavor
Our spirits gladly tend
Where darkness cometh never,
And joy shall never end. Used With Tune: EWING
Oh, Land Relieved From Sorrow
Within the world around us
