"The sea of glass"

Author: C. Wordsworth Hymnal: Laudes Domini #567 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Hark! the sound of holy voices Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Hallelujah, hallelujah, Hallelujah, Lord, to thee! 2 Multitudes, which none can number, Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands. 3 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. 4 Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 5 Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the Beatific Vision Of the blessed Trinity.

The City

Author: S. Baring-Gould Hymnal: Laudes Domini #568 (1890) Topics: The Rest of Heaven First Line: Daily, daily sing the praises Lyrics: 1 Daily, daily sing the praises Of the City God hath made; In the beauteous fields of Eden Its foundation-stones are laid, 2 In the midst of that dear City Christ is reigning on his seat, And the angels swing their censers In a ring about his feet. 3 From the throne a river issues, Clear as crystal, passing bright, And it traverses the City Like a sudden beam of light. 4 There the wind is sweetly fragrant And is laden with the song Of the seraphs, and the elders, And the great redeemed throng. 5 Oh, I would my ears were open Here to catch that happy strain! Oh, I would my eyes some vision Of that Eden could attain! Languages: English
