Joy and triumph everlasting
Author: Adam of St Victor; Robert Bridges, 1844-1930 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #229 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Joy and triumph everlasting
Hath the heavenly Church on high;
For that pure immortal gladness
All our feast-days mourn and sigh:
Yet in death’s dark desert wild
Doth the mother aid her child,
Guards celestial thence attend us,
Stand in combat to defend us.
2 Here the world’s perpetual warfare
Holds from heaven the soul apart;
Legioned foes in shadowy terror
Vex the Sabbath of the heart.
O how happy that estate
Where delight doth not abate;
For that home the spirit yearneth,
Where none languisheth nor mourneth.
3 There the body hath no torment,
There the mind is free from care,
There is every voice rejoicing,
Every heart is loving there.
Angels in that city dwell;
Them their King delighteth well:
Still they joy and weary never,
More and more desiring ever.
4 There the seers and fathers holy,
There the prophets glorified,
All their doubts and darkness ended,
In the Light of light abide.
There the Saints, whose memories old
We in faithful hymns uphold,
Have forgot their bitter story
In the joy of Jesu’s glory.
5 There from lowliness exalted
Dwelleth Mary, Queen of grace,
Ever with her presence pleading
'Gainst the sin of Adam's race.
To that glory of the blest,
By their prayers and faith confest,
Us, us too, when death hath freed us,
Christ of his good mercy lead us. Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Common of Saints; Funerals and The Departed; All Saints November 1st Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN PSALM 42

Holy Ghost, Dispel Our Sadness
As the Hart When Noon Is Burning
Author: Edward A. Collier Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #415 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1. As the hart when noon is burning
Pants for springs when waters burst,
So for God my soul is yearning,
For the living God a-thirst:
When shall I, a wand'rer here,
In Thy presence, Lord, appear?
Daily by my foes derided,
Tears they for my food provided.
2. If fond mem'ry seek to borrow
Comfort from the former years,
These but stir anew my sorrow,
Open ev'ry fount of trears:
Unto Zion's gates with song,
Oh, how oft I led the throng,
Who with joy and praise adore Thee,
Keeping holiday before Thee.
3. Why art thou cast down and fearful?
O my soul, why so dismayed?
Hope in God, and eyes now tearful
Yet shall see His present aid.
Down, O God, my heart is cast,
Till I think of mercies past;
Then to Thee, my spirit weary
Turns as from a desert dreary.
4. As Thy waterfalls resounding,
Deep is calling unto deep:
Over me, Thine all-surrounding
Waves and billow wildly sweep:
Yet the Lord will bless my days,
I, His loving-kindness praise;
And His song, at midnight given,
Be my prayer to God in heaven.
5. Why disquieted within me!
Why art thou, my soul, cast down!
Hope in God, I yet shall praise Him,
Who with joy my life will crown.
He, my God, whose wondrous grace
Is the help that cheers my face,
Comforts me, when tears are blinding,
As the hart cool waters finding. Topics: Choral Section Longing For God Scripture: Psalm 42 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN 42

Breathe thy life, and spread they light.

Hear, O hear our supplication.

Bringing down the richest treasure
Man can wish, or God can send.

From the Father and the Son,
Grant us thine illumination;
Rest upon this congregation.

God can give, or we implore;
Having thy sweet consolations
We need wish for nothing more.
Come with unction and with pow'r,
On our souls thy graces show'r;
Author of the new creation,
Make our hearts thy habitation.

And the hills bow down to greet him.

Seeking Water, Seeking Shelter
Author: Eric Routley Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #101 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Seeking water, seeking shelter,
gasps the thirsty, weary deer;
so my soul in days of trouble
longs for God's refreshments here.
In this stressful course of life,
in its loneliness and strife,
"When," say I, "will God deliver;
is his mercy gone forever?"
2 No! he is my soul's true fortress;
though I hear those voices wild--
"Where's your God? why has he left you?--
he will not forget his child.
Come then, be my advocate,
come, your servant vindicate;
then no more in fruitless sorrow
shall I face a barren morrow.
3 Send your light and trust to lead me;
then the path shall I discern
to my father's house, where welcome
waits the prodigal's return.
Then new songs shall fil my days,
ev'ry moment full of praise,
with the faithful who surround him,
with the blest ones who have found him.
4 So, my soul, why such disquiet?
why such mourning, why such fear?
Day already breaks on darkness,
God has sought you, God is near.
Hope in God and you shall live;
all delight he waits to give;
peace and power and ev'ry blessing
you shall know, this faith confessing.
