Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #343 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Lyrics: 1. Hark! the sound of holy voices,
Chanting at the crystal sea,
Halleluia, halleluia,
Halleluia, Lord, to Thee!
Multitudes which none can number
Like the stars in glory stand,
Clothed in white apparel, holding
Palms of vict'ry in their hand.
2. They have come from tribulation,
And have washed their robes in blood,
Washed them in the blood of Jesus;
Tried they were, and firm they stood;
Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented,
Sawn asunder, slain with sword,
They have conquered death and Satan
By the might of Christ the Lord.
3. Now they reign in heav'nly glory,
Now they walk in golden light,
Now they drink, as from a river,
Holy bliss and infinite:
Love and peace they taste forever,
Heav'nly truth and knowledge see
In the beatific vision
Of the blessed Trinity. Languages: English Tune Title: DEBENHAM
Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices
Shall We Gather At the River?
Author: Robert Lowry Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #409 (1929) Meter: 8.7.8.7 with chorus Topics: Salvation The Future Life First Line: Shall we gather at the river Refrain First Line: Yes, we'll gather at the river Lyrics: 1. Shall we gather at the river,
Where bright angel feet have trod;
With its crystal tide forever
Flowing by the throne of God?
Chorus:
Yes, we'll gather at the river,
The beautiful, the beautiful river, —
Gather with the saints at the river
That flows by the throne of God.
2. On the margin of the river,
Washing up its silver spray,
We will walk and worship ever,
All the happy, golden day. [Chorus]
3. Ere we reach the shining river,
Lay we ev'ry burden down;
Grace our spirits will deliver,
And provide a robe and crown. [Chorus]
4. Soon we'll reach the shining river,
Soon our pilgrimage will cease;
Soon our happy hearts will quiver
With the melody of peace. [Chorus]
Languages: English Tune Title: BEAUTIFUL RIVER
Shall We Gather At the River?
Death calls our friends, our neighbors, hence
Hymnal: A Collection of Psalms and Hymns for Publick Worship #CXXXIX (1789) Topics: Life, Death and the future State Death the Lot of all Mankind Lyrics: 1 Death calls our friends, our neighbours, hence,
And none resist the fatal dart;
Continual warnings trike our sense —
And shall they fail to reach our heart?
2 That awful hour will soon appear,
(Swift on the wings of time it flies)
When all that pains or pleases, here,
Shall vanish from our closing eyes.
3 Lord of our life, inspire our heart
With heav'nly ardour, grace divine;
Nor let thy presence e'er depart,
For strength, and life, and death, are thine.
4 O teach us the celestial skill
Each awful warning to improve;
And, while our days are short'ning still,
Prepare us for the joys above.
Languages: English
Death calls our friends, our neighbors, hence
And must this body die?
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a450 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 And must this body die?
This mortal frame decay?
And must these active limbs of mine
Lie mould'ring in the clay?
2 Corruption, earth, and worms,
Shall but refine this flesh,
Till my triumphant spirit comes
To put it on afresh.
3 God, my Redeemer, lives,
And ever, from the skies,
Looks down and watches all my dust,
Till He shall bid it rise.
4 Arrayed in glorious grace
Shall these vile bodies shine,
And every shape, and every face,
Look heav'nly and divine.
5 These lively hopes we owe
To Jesus' dying love;
We would adore His grace below,
And sing His power above.
6 Dear Lord, accept the praise
Of these our humble songs,
Till tunes of nobler sound we raise
With our immortal tongues. Languages: English
And must this body die?
Shall man, O God of light and life
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a451 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life,
Forever moulder in the grave?
Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work,
Thy promise and Thy power to save?
2 Shall life revisit dying worms,
And spread the joyful insect's wing!
And, oh! shall man awake no more
To see Thy face, Thy name to sing?
3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears!
When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung,
Death, the last foe, was captive led,
And heav'n with praise and wonder rung.
4 Him, the First--Fruits, His chosen sons
Shall follow from the vanquished grave;
He mounts His throne, the King of kings,
His Church to quicken and to save.
5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors
Unfold, to make His children way;
They shall be clothed with endless life,
And shine in everlasting day.
6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake;
And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring;
Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise,
And hail their Savior and their King. Languages: English
Shall man, O God of light and life
Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a452 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
That leads the soul away from God;
This happiness, dear Lord, be mine,
To live and die entirely Thine.
2 On Christ, by faith, I fain would live,
From Him, my life, my all receive;
To Him devote my fleeting hours,
Serve Him alone with all my powers.
3 Christ is my everlasting all;
To Him I look, on Him I call;
He will my ev'ry want supply,
In time, and through eternity.
4 Soon will the Lord, my life, appear;
Soon shall I end my trials here;
Leave sin and sorrow, death and pain;
To live is Christ--to die is gain.
5 Soon will the saints in glory meet,
Soon walk through ev'ry golden street,
And sing on ev'ry blissful plain,
To live is Christ, to die is gain. Languages: English
Let thoughtless thousands choose the road
There is a land of pure delight
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a453 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Eternal day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
2 There everlasting spring abides,
And never-with'ring flowers:
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heav’nly land from ours.
3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood,
Stand dressed in living green:
So to the Jews old Canaan stood,
While Jordan rolled between.
4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink
To cross this narrow sea;
And linger, shivering, on the brink,
And fear to launch away.
5 O could we make our doubts remove,
Those gloomy thoughts that rise,
And view the Canaan that we love
With unbeclouded eyes!
6 Could we but climb where Moses stood,
And view the landscape o’er,
Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood,
Should fright us from the shore. Languages: English
There is a land of pure delight
There is an hour of peaceful rest
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a454 (1895) Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wand’rers given;
There is a joy for souls distressed,
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast--
’Tis found above--in heaven.
2 There is a soft, a downy bed,
'Tis fair as breath of even;
A couch for weary mortals spread,
Where they may rest the aching head,
And find repose--in heaven.
3 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven;
When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals,
Where storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear-- but heaven.
4 There, faith lifts up her cheerful eye,
To brighter prospects given;
And views the tempest passing by,
The ev'ning shadows quickly fly,
And all serene--in heaven.
5 There fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are given;
There, joys divine disperse the gloom:
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven. Languages: English
There is an hour of peaceful rest
There is an hour of hallowed peace
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a455 (1895) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of hallowed peace,
For those with care oppressed,
When sighs and sorr'wing tears shall cease,
And all be hushed to rest:
2 ‘Tis then the soul is freed from fears,
And doubts here here annoy:
Then they that oft have sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy.
3 There is a home of sweet repose,
Where storms assail no more;
The stream of endless pleasure flows
On that celestial shore:
4 There purity with love appears,
And bliss without alloy;
Then they that oft had sown in tears
Shall reap again in joy. Languages: English
There is an hour of hallowed peace
Jesus, my Redeemer, lives
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a456 (1895) Topics: The Consummation Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives,
Christ, my Trust, is dead no more;
In the strength this knowledge gives,
Shall not all my fears be o'er?
Calm, though the death's long night be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought?
2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives,
And His life I once shall see;
Bright the hope the promise gives,
Where He is I too shall be.
Shall I fear then? Can the Head
Rise and leave the members dead?
3 Close to Him my soul is bound!
In the bonds of hope enclasped;
Faith's strong hand this soul hath found,
And the Rock hath firmly grasped;
Death shall ne'er my soul remove
From her refuge in Thy love.
4 I shall see Him with these eyes--
Him whom I shall surely know;
Not another shall I rise,
With His love this heart shall glow;
Only there shall disappear
Weakness in and round me here.
5 Ye who suffer, sigh, and moan,
Fresh and glorious there shall reign;
Earthly here the seed is sown,
Heavenly it shall rise again;
Natural here the death we die,
Spiritual our life on high.
6 Body, be thou of good cheer,
In thy Savior's care rejoice;
Give not place to gloom and fear--
Dead, thou yet shalt know His voice,
When the final trump is heard,
And the deaf, cold grave is stirred.
7 Laugh to scorn then death and hell,
Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave;
Caught into the air to dwell
With the Lord who comes to save,
We shall trample on our foes,
Mortal weakness, fear and woes.
8 Only see ye that your heart
Rise betimes from earthly lust;
Would ye there with Him have part,
Here obey your Lord and trust,
Fix your hearts beyond the skies,
Whither ye yourselves would rise.
