How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #227 (1986) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Common of Saints; All Saints November 1st Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? 2 Lo! these are they from sufferings great Who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed Those robes that shine so bright. 3 Now with triumphal palms they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love amidst The glories of the sky. 4 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, Nor sun with scorching ray: God is their sun, whose cheering beams Diffuse eternal day. 5 The Lamb, who dwells amidst the throne, Shall o'er them still preside, Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. 6 In pastures green he’ll lead his flock Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from every eye Shall wipe off every tear.

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 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Common of Saints; Funerals and The Departed; All Saints November 1st 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. Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN PSALM 42

Palms of glory, raiment bright

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #230a (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Common of Saints; All Saints November 1st Lyrics: 1 Palms of glory, raiment bright, Crowns that never fade away, Gird and deck the saints in light, Priests, and kings, and conquerors they. 2 Yet the conquerors bring their palms To the Lamb amidst the throne, And proclaim in joyful psalms Victory through his cross alone. 3 Kings for harps their crowns resign, Crying, as they strike the chords, 'Take the kingdom, it is thine, King of kings, and Lord of Lords.' 4 Round the altar priests confess, If their robes are white as snow, 'Twas the Saviour's righteousness, And his blood, that made them so. 5 They were mortal too like us; Ah! when we like them must die, May our souls, translated thus Triumph, reign, and shine on high.

Who are these, like stars appearing

Author: H. T. Schenck, 1656-1727; Frances Cox, 1812-97 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #231 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holidays: General; Common of Saints; All Saints November 1st; Procession Lyrics: 1 Who are these, like stars appearing, These before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluya, hark! they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand-- Whence comes all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honour long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng; These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph through the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified; Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will, Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now, in God's most holy place Blest they stand before his face.
