Glory to God that walks the Sky
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.LIX (1766) Topics: Paradise on Earth Lyrics: 1 Glory to God that walks the Sky,
And sends his Blessings through;
That tells his Saints of Joys on high,
And gives a Taste below.
[2 Glory to God, that stoops his Throne,
That Dust and Worms may see't,
And brings a Glimpse of Glory down
Around his sacred Feet.
3 When Christ, with all his Graces crown'd,
Sheds his kind Beams abroad,
'Tis a young Heav'n on earthly Ground,
And Glory in the Bud.

In this wild Desart springs;
And ev'ry Sense I strait employ
On sweet celestial Things.

And each his Glory shews;
The Rose of Sharon blossoms here,
The fairest Flow'r that blows.
6 Chearful I feast on heav'nly fruit,
And drink the Pleasures down,
Pleasures that flow hard by the Foot
Of the Eternal Throne.]
7 But ah! how soon my Joys decay,
How soon my Sins arise,
And snatch the heav'nly Scene away
From these lamenting Eyes!
8 When shall the Time, dear Jesus, when
The shining Day appear,
That I shall leave those Clouds of Sin,
And Guilt and Darkness here?
9 Up to the Fields above the Skies
My hasty Feet would go,
There, everlasting Flow'rs arise,
And Joys unwith'ring grow. Languages: English

Once in Royal David's City
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: Voices United #62 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle-shed,
where a mother laid her baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven,
who, with God is over all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall.
There among the poor and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 For he is our lifelong pattern;
daily, when on earth he grew;
he was tempted, scorned, rejected,
tears and smiles like us he knew.
Thus he feels for all our sadness,
and he shares in all our gladness.
4 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that child who seemed so helpless
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone. Languages: English Tune Title: IRBY

the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head.

2 The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes,
but little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus; look down from the sky,
and stay by my side until morning is nigh.
3 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask you to stay
close by me for ever, and love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children in your tender care,
and fit us for heaven, to live with you there.

did the guiding star behold,

to that lowly manger bed,
there to bend the knee before
Christ, whom heaven and earth adore;
so may we with eager pace
ever seek your throne of grace.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
at that manger rude and bare,
so may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin's alloy,
all our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to you, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
keep us in the narrow way;
and, when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed lives at last
where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds your glory hide.

none shall need created light;
you its light, its joy, its crown,
you its sun which goes not down;
there forever may we sing
hallelujah to our King. Languages: English Tune Title: DIX

At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping
Author: Edward Caswall; Jacopone da Todi Hymnal: Voices United #139 (1996) Meter: 8.8.7 Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping
stood the mournful Mother weeping
where he hung, the dying Lord;
2 through her soul of joy bereavèd,
bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd,
passed the sharp and piercing sword.
3 Who upon that mother gazing,
in her anguish so amazing,
born of woman, would not weep?
4 Who, of Christ's dear Mother thinking
while her son that cup is drinking,
would not share her sorrow deep?
5 For his people's sins chastisèd
she beheld her Son despisèd
scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined,
6 saw him then from judgement taken,
and in death by all forsaken,
till his spirit he resigned.
7 Near your cross, O Christ, abiding,
grief and love my heart dividing,
I with her would take my place:
8 by your saving cross uphold me,
in your dying, Christ, enfold me,
with the deathless arms of grace. Tune Title: STABAT MATER

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
Author: Henry van Dyke Hymnal: Voices United #232 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise Lyrics: 1 Joyful, joyful, we adore you,
God of glory, life and love;
hearts unfold like flowers before you,
opening to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness,
drive our fear and doubt away;
giver of immortal gladness,
fill us with the light of day.
2 All your works with joy surround you,
earth and heaven reflect your rays,
stars and angels sing around you,
center of unbroken praise.
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
flowery meadow, flashing sea,
chanting bird and flowing fountain,
sound their praise eternally.
3 You are giving and forgiving,
ever blessing, ever blest,
wellspring of the joy of living,
ocean depth of happy rest!
Source of grace and fount of blessing,
let your light upon us shine;
teach us how to love each other,
lift us to the joy divine.
4 Mortals, join the mighty chorus
which the morning stars began;
God's own love is reigning o'er us,
joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
victors in the midst of strife;
joyful music lifts us sunward
in the triumph song of life. Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You

O Worship the King
Author: Robert Grant Hymnal: Voices United #235 (1996) Meter: 10.10.11.11 Topics: Heaven(s)/Paradise First Line: O worship the King, all glorious above Lyrics: 1 O worship the King all glorious above,
O gratefully sing God's power and God's love;
our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendour and girded with praise.
2 O tell of God's might! O sing of God's grace,
whose robe is the light; whose canopy space;
whose chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and broad is God's path on the wings of the storm.
3 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your power has founded of old;
has stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.
4 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.
5 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail;
your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend. Tune Title: HANOVER

Et joignons notre voix
au concert de ses anges!

il est notre berger.

Que notre vie entière
tous nous vivions joyeux
sous le regard du Père;
qu'il nous tienne en sa grâce
et nous guide toujours,
nous garde du malheur
par son unique amour.

et de la liberté. Languages: English; French Tune Title: NUN DANKET

that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found,
was blind, but now I see.
2 'Twas grace first taught my heart to fear
and grace my fears relieved;
how precious did that grace appear
the hour I first believed!
3 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
'tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
and grace will lead me home.
4 The Lord has promised good to me,
this word my hope secures;
God will my shield and portion be
as long as life endures.
5 When we've been there ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun,
we've no less days to sing God's praise
than when we'd first begun. Languages: Chinese; Cree; English; French; Inuktitut; Japanese; Mohawk; Ojibway Tune Title: AMAZING GRACE (NEW BRITAIN)
