We know not a voice of that river
Author: Christina G. Rossetti Hymnal: The Hymnal #432 (1950) Meter: 9.8.10.5 Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 We know not a voice of that river,
If vocal or silent it be,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows to no sea.
2 More deep than the seas is that river,
More full than their manifold tides,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows and abides.
3 O goodly the banks of that river,
O goodly the fruits that they bear,
Where forever and ever and ever
It flows and is fair.
4 For lo! on each bank of that river,
The tree that is life-giving grows,
Where forever and ever and ever
The pure river flows.
Amen. Scripture: Revelation 22:1 Tune Title: ACHNASHEEN
We know not a voice of that river
O Love that lights the eastern sky
Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Hymnal #433 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 O Love that lights the eastern sky
And shrouds the evening rest,
From out whose hand the swallows fly,
Within whose heart they nest!
2 O life, content beneath the blue!
Or, if God will, the gray,
Then tranquil yet, till light breaks through
To melt the mist away!
3 O death that sails so close to shore
At twilight! From my gate
I scan the darkening sea once more,
And for its message wait.
4 What lies beyond the afterglow?
To life's new dawn how far?
As if an answer, spoken low,
Love lights the evening star.
Amen. Tune Title: VITTEL WOODS
O Love that lights the eastern sky
O mother dear, Jerusalem
Author: "F. B. P.," 16th century Hymnal: The Hymnal #436 (1950) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 O mother dear, Jerusalem,
When shall I come to thee?
When shall my sorrows have an end?
Thy joys when shall I see?
O happy harbor of the saints!
O sweet and pleasant soil!
In thee no sorrow may be found,
No grief, no care, no toil.
2 Thy gardens and thy gallant walks
Continually are green,
They grow such sweet and pleasant flowers
As nowhere else are seen.
Right through the streets, with silver sound,
The living waters flow,
And on the banks, on either side,
The trees of life do grow.
3 Those trees forevermore bear fruit,
And evermore do spring;
Then evermore the angels are,
And evermore do sing.
Jerusalem, my happy home,
Would God I were in thee!
Would God my woes were at an end,
Thy joys that I might see!
Amen. Tune Title: MATERNA
O mother dear, Jerusalem
Sooner or later: yet at last
Author: Christina G. Rossetti (1830-1894) Hymnal: The Hymnal #439 (1950) Meter: 8.6 Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Sooner or later: yet at last
The Jordan must be past.
2 Sooner or later: yet one day
We all must pass that way.
3 When mysteries shall be revealed,
All secrets be unsealed:
4 Jesus, most merciful of men,
Show mercy on us then;
5 Lord God of mercy and of men,
Show mercy on us then.
Amen. Tune Title: ULTIMA
Sooner or later: yet at last
Now the laborer's task is o'er
Author: Rev. John Ellerton Hymnal: The Hymnal #440 (1950) Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Now the laborer's task is o'er;
Now the battle day is past;
Now upon the farther shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
2 There the tears of earth are dried;
There its hidden things are clear;
There the work of life is tried
By a juster Judge than here.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
3 "Earth to earth, and dust to dust";
Calmly now the words we say;
Left behind, we wait in trust,
For the resurrection-day.
Father, in Thy gracious keeping
Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
Amen. Tune Title: REQUIESCAT
Now the laborer's task is o'er
Ten thousand times ten thousand
Author: Rev. Henry Alford Hymnal: The Hymnal #427 (1950) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand
In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light;
'Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin:
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.
2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky!
What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh!
O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made;
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore;
What knitting severed friendships up
Where partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power, and reign;
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heaven Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Saviour, come.
Amen. Tune Title: ALFORD
Ten thousand times ten thousand
Upward where the stars are burning
Author: Rev. Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Hymnal #428 (1950) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 Upward where the stars are burning,
Silent, silent in their turning
Round the never-changing pole;
Upward where the sky is brightest,
Upward where the blue is lightest,
Lift I now my longing soul.
2 Where the Lamb on high is seated,
By ten thousand voices greeted,
Lord of lords, and King of kings.
Son of Man, they crown, they crown Him,
Son of God, they own, they own Him;
With His Name the palace rings.
3 Blessing, honor, without measure,
Heavenly riches, earthly treasure,
Lay we at His blessed feet;
Poor the praise that now we render,
Loud shall be our voices yonder,
When before His throne we meet.
Amen. Tune Title: BONAR

And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.

Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,

Amen. Tune Title: SINE NOMINE
For all the saints who from their labors rest
O what their joy and their glory must be
Author: Rev. John Mason Neale; Pierre Abelard (1079-1142) Hymnal: The Hymnal #430 (1950) Topics: The Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 O what their joy and their glory must be,
Those endless Sabbaths the blessed ones see;
Crown for the valiant, to weary ones rest;
God shall be All, and in all ever blest.
2 Truly Jerusalem name we that shore,
"Vision of Peace," that brings joy evermore;
Wish and fulfillment can severed be ne'er,
Nor the thing prayed for come short of the prayer.
3 There, where no troubles distraction can bring,
We the sweet anthems of Zion shall sing;
While for Thy grace, Lord, their voices of praise
Thy blessed people shall evermore raise.
4 Low before Him with our praises we fall,
Of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all;
Of whom, the Father; and through whom, the Son;
In whom, the Spirit, with these ever One.
Amen. Tune Title: O QUANTA QUALIA
O what their joy and their glory must be
