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

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

Tell her that her sins I cover,
And her warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the voice of one that crieth
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God away;
Let the valleys rise to meet Him,
And the hills bow down to greet Him.
3 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain;
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits his holy reign.

Now o'er earth is shed abroad;
And all flesh shall see the token
That His word is never broken.

Comfort, comfort you my people,
tell of peace, thus says our God.
R
Comfort, O comfort my people,
says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem
and cry to them
that they have served their term,
that their penalty is paid,
that they have received from the Lord’s hand
double for all their sins. R
A voice cries out:
‘In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be lifted up,
and every mountain and hill be made low;
the uneven ground shall become level,
and the rough places a plain.
Then the glory of the Lord shall be revealed,
and all people shall see it together,
for the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’
Get you up to a high mountain,
O Zion, herald of good tidings;
lift up your voice with strength,
O Jerusalem, herald of good tidings,
lift it up, do not fear;
say to the cities of Judah,
‘Here is your God!’ R Topics: God Known in Jesus Christ Advent; Canticles; Christian Year: Advent; Jesus Christ; Jesus Christ: Advent Languages: English Tune Title: [GENEVA 42]

Leiden wie ein Traum der Nacht;
dann wird unser Herz sich freun,
unser Mund voll Lachens sein;
jauchzend werden wir erheben
den, der Freiheit uns gegeben.
2 Herr, erhebe deine Rechte,
richt auf uns den Vaterblick;
rufe die verstoßnen Knechte
bald ins Vaterland zurück.
Ach, der Pfad ist steil und weit,
kürze unsre Prüfungszeit;
führ uns, wenn wir treu gestritten,
in des Friedens stille Hütten.
3 Ernten werden wir mit Freuden,
was wir weinend ausgesät;
jenseits reift die Frucht der Leiden
und des Sieges Palme weht.

er, er selbst ist unser Lohn;
die ihm lebten, die ihm starben,
bringen jauchzend ihre Garben. Topics: Biblische Gesänge Psalmen und Lobgesänge Scripture: Psalm 126 Languages: German Tune Title: [Wenn der Herr einst die Gefangnen]
