Blessed city, heavenly Salem
Author: J. M. Neale Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #400 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 Blessed city, heavenly Salem,
Vision dear of peace and love,
Who of living stones art builded
In the height of heaven above,
And, with angel hosts encircled,
As a bride dost earthward move;
2 From celestial realms descending,
Bridal glory round thee shed,
Meet for Him Whose love espoused thee,
To thy Lord shall thou be led;
All thy streets and all thy bulwarks
Of pure gold are fashionèd.
3 Bright thy gates of pearl are shining,
They are open evermore;
And by virtue of His merits
Thither faithful souls do soar,
Who for Christ's dear Name, in this world
Pain and tribulation bore.
4 Many a blow and biting sculpture
Polished well those stones elect,
In their places now compacted
By the heavenly Architect,
Who therewith hath willed forever
That His palace should be decked.
5 Laud and honor to the Father,
Laud and honor to the Son,
Laud and honor to the Spirit,
Ever Three, and ever One,
Consubstantial, Co-eternal,
While unending ages run.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ORIEL
Blessed city, heavenly Salem
O heavenly Jerusalem
Author: J. M. Neale Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #401a (1898) Meter: 7.6.7.6 Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 O Heavenly Jerusalem,
Of everlasting halls,
Thrice blessèd are the people
Thou storest in thy walls.
2 Thou art the golden mansion,
Where saints forever sing,
The seat of God's own chosen,
The palace of the king.
3 There God for ever sitteth,
Himself of all the crown;
The Lamb, the Light that shineth,
And never goeth down.
4 Naught to this seat approacheth
Their sweet peace to molest;
They sing their God forever,
Nor day nor night they rest.
5 Sure hope doth thither lead us;
Our longings thither tend;
May short-lived toil ne'er daunt us
For joys that cannot end.
6 To Christ, the Sun that lightens
His Church above, below;
To Father, and to Spirit
All things created bow.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. ALPHEGE
O heavenly Jerusalem
Jerusalem, my happy home
Author: J. Montgomery Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #402a (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home,
Name ever dear to me,
When shall my labors have an end
In joy, and peace, and thee?
2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls
And pearly gates behold?
Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
3 There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know:
Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes
I onward press to you.
4 Why should I shrink at pain and woe,
Or feel at death dismay?
I've Canann's goodly land in view,
And realms of endless day.
5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there
Around my Saviour stand;
And soon my friends in Christ below
Will join the glorious band.
6 Jerusalem, my happy home!
My soul still pants for thee;
Then shall my labors have an end,
When I thy joys shall see.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BEATITUDO
Jerusalem, my happy home
I heard a sound of voices
Author: G. Thring Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #404a (1898) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts Lyrics: 1 I heard a sound of voices
Around the great white throne,
With harpers harping on their harps
To him that sat thereon:
"Salvation, glory, honou!"
I heard the song arise,
As throu' the courts of heav'n it rolled
In wondrous harmonies.
2 From every clime and kindred,
And nations from afar,
As serried ranks returning home
In triumph from a war,
I heard the saints upraising,
The myriad hosts among,
In praise of Him Who died and lives,
Their one glad triumph-song.
3 I saw the holy city,
The New Jerusalem,
Come down from heaven, a bride adorned
With jeweled diadem;
The flood of crystal waters
Flowed down the golden street;
And nations brought their honors there,
And laid them at her feet.
4 And there no sun was needed,
Nor moon to shine by night,
God's glory did enlighten all,
The Lamb Himself the light;
And there His servants serve Him,
And, life's long battle o'er,
Enthroned with Him, their Saviour, King,
They reign for evermore.
5 O great and glorious vision!
The Lamb upon His throne;
O wondrous sight for man to see!
The Saviour with His own:
To drink the living waters
And stand upon the shore,
Where neither sorrow, sin, nor death
Shall ever enter more.
6 O Lamb of God Who reignest!
Thou Bright and Morning Star,
Whose glory lightens that new earth
Which now we see from far!
O worthy Judge eternal!
When Thou dost bid us come,
Then open wide the gates of pearl,
And call Thy servants home.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: PATMOS

I heard a sound of voices
We walk by faith, and not by sight
Author: Dean Alford Hymnal: The Hymnal, Revised and Enlarged, as adopted by the General Convention of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America in the year of our Lord 1892 #426 (1894) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Other Feasts and Fasts St. Thomas Lyrics: 1. We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From Him who spake as man ne'er spake;
But we believe Him near.
2. We may not touch His hands and side,
Nor follow where He trod;
But in His promise we rejoice,
And cry, "My Lord and God!"
3. Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
And may our faith abound,
To call on Thee when Thou art near,
And seek where Thou art found:
4. That, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light
We may behold Thee as Thou art,
With full and endless sight. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: [We walk by faith, and not by sight]
We walk by faith, and not by sight
We walk by faith, and not by sight
