O Holy City, Seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21 Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
Where Christ, the Lamb, does reign,
Within whose foursquare walls shall come
No night, nor need, nor pain,
And where the tears are wiped from eyes
That shall not weep again.
2 O shame to us who rest content
While lust and greed for gain
In street and shop and tenement
Wring gold from human pain,
And bitter lips in blind despair
Cry “Christ has died in vain!”
3 Give us, O God, the strength to build
The city that hath stood
Too long a dream, whose laws are love,
Whose ways are servanthood,
And where the sun that shines becomes
God’s grace for human good.
4 Already in the mind of God
That city rises fair.
Lo, how its splendor challenges
The souls that greatly dare,
And bids us seize the whole of life
And build its glory there.

Rev. 21:1-9: Lo! what a glorious sight appears
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 285 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:1-9 First Line: Lo! what a glorious sight appears Lyrics:
Lo! what a glorious sight appears
to our admiring eyes!
The former seas have passed away,
the former earth and skies.
From heav’n the New Jerus’lem comes,
all worthy of its Lord;
See all things now at last renewed,
and paradise restored!
Attending angels shout for joy,
and the bright armies sing;
Mortals! behold the sacred seat
of your descending King!
The God of glory down to men
removes his bless’d abode;
He dwells with men; his people they,
and he his people’s God.
His gracious hand shall wipe the tears
from ev’ry weeping eye:
And pains and groans, and griefs and fears,
and death itself, shall die.
Behold, I change all human things!
saith he, whose words are true;
Lo! what was old is passed away,
and all things are made new!
I am the First, and I the Last,
through endless years the same;
I AM, is my memorial still,
and my eternal name.
Ho, ye that thirst! to you my grace
shall hidden streams disclose,
And open full the sacred spring,
whence life for ever flows.
Bless’d is the man that overcomes;
I’ll own him for a son;
A rich inheritance rewards
the conquests he hath won.
But bloody hands and hearts unclean,
and all the lying race,
The faithless, and the scoffing crew,
who spurn at offered grace;
They, seized by justice, shall be doomed
in dark abyss to lie,
And in the fiery burning lake
the second death shall die.
O may we stand before the Lamb,
when earth and seas are fled,
And hear the judge pronounce our name,
with blessings on our bead!
Rev. 21:1-9: Lo! what a glorious sight appears

Jesus, lover of my soul
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 3,208 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:6 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul,
let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll,
while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,
till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide,
oh, receive my soul at last!
2 Other refuge have I none,
hangs my helpless soul on thee;
leave, ah! leave me not alone,
still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed,
all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenceless head
with the shadow of thy wing.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;
more than all in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name,
I am all unrighteousness;
false and full of sin I am,
thou art full of truth and grace.
4 Plenteous grace with thee is found,
grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound,
make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art,
freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart,
rise to all eternity. Topics: Life in Christ Our Response to Christ - In Penitence; God in grace and mercy Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH

Of the Father's Love Begotten
Author: Aurelius Clemens Prudentius; John Mason Neale; Henry Williams Baker Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 214 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21 Lyrics: 1 Of the Father's love begotten
ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega
he the source, the ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see
evermore and evermore.
2 O that birth forever blessed,
when a virgin, blest with grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Savior of our race;
and the babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face,
evermore and evermore.
3 This is he whom seers in old time
chanted of with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected;
let creation praise its Lord
evermore and evermore.
4 Let the heights of heaven adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing:
powers, dominions, bow before him
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice in concert ring
evermore and evermore.
5 Christ, to you, with God the Father
and the Spirit, there shall be
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
and the shout of jubilee:
honor, glory, and dominion
and eternal victory
evermore and evermore!
Amen.

bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;

in every change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul! Your best, your heavenly Friend
thro' thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
2 Be still, my soul! Your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past;
your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul! The waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
3 Be still, my soul! The hour is hastening on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul! When change and tears are past,
all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.

Jerusalem, the Golden
Author: Bernard of Cluny; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 908 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:2 Lyrics: 1. Jerusalem, the golden,
With milk and honey blest!
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed;
I know not, O I know not,
What joys await me there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
2. They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song,
And bright with many angels,
And all the martyr throng;
The Prince is ever in them,
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are decked in glorious sheen.
3. O sweet and blessed country,
Shall I e'er see thy face?
O sweet and blessed country,
Shall I e'er win thy grace?
Exult, O dust and ashes!
The Lord shall be thy part;
His only, His forever,
Thou shalt be, and thou art! Used With Tune: EWING

This Is a Day of New Beginnings
Author: Brian Wren Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 21:5 Lyrics: 1. This is a day of new beginnings,
Time to remember and move on,
Time to believe what love is bringing,
Laying to rest the pain that's gone.
2. For by the life and death of Jesus,
God's mighty Spirit, now as then,
Can make for us a world of diff'rence,
As faith and hope are born again.
3. Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,
Step from the past and leave behind
Our disappointment, guilt, and grieving,
Seeking new paths, and sure to find.
4. Christ is alive, and goes before us
To show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
Our God is making all things new.
5. In faith, we'll gather 'round the table
To taste and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings;
Our God is making all things new. Used With Tune: BEGINNINGS
