Heaven With Rosy Morn Is Glowing

Author: Ambrose of Milan, 340-397; John Williams Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heaven with rosy morn is glowing, Songs of triumph fill the air, Strains of praise from earth are flowing, Hell is writhing in despair. Earth’s great king, in glory springing, From the deep sepulchral night, While loud anthems round are ringing, Leads His saints to life and light. 2 Useless watch the guards are keeping O’er that tomb so still and lone; He who there in death was sleeping, Bursts the seal, and rends the stone. "Weep no more; no more be given Gushing tears and mournful sighs, For the grave’s dark gates are riven, Christ is risen!" the angel cries. 3 Be our Paschal joy unending! And, O Lord, deign Thou to save Contrite souls, that lowly bending, Pray for life beyond the grave. Praise the Father, earth and Heaven, Praise the Son, who rose this day, To the Spirit praise be given— Three in One, and One in three.

Seraphs Laud Thee

Author: Thomas McCullagh Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Seraphs laud Thee, God the Father, Lyrics: 1 Seraphs laud Thee, God the Father, In the sweetest, noblest lays; Can it be that Thou wouldst rather Listen unto children’s praise? Yes; Thou hearkenest to our voices, Children’s voices though they be; Take the glory each rejoices, Lord of all, to render Thee. 2 Cherubs praise Thee, God the Savior, In sublimest strains above; Wilt Thou grant to us Thy favor, And accept of children’s love? Yes; Thou listenest to our singing, Children’s singing though it be; Take the hearts we all are bringing, Sovereign Son, to Thee, to Thee. 3 Angels praise Thee, God the Spirit, Source of life and light and truth; Wilt Thou, for the Savior’s merit, Hear the simpler songs of youth? Thou receiv’st our adoration, Children’s homage though it be; Make our hearts a new creation, Holy Spirit, fit for Thee. 4 Triune God, the heavens hail Thee, Harpers, choirs, and white robed throng, Nor shall children’s voices fail Thee In the universal song. Now receive our highest praises, Children’s praises though they be; Then to bliss at last upraise us, Triune God, to worship Thee. Used With Tune: ISCHGL

Only God Can Bring Us Gladness

Author: Johan O. Wallin Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Only God can bring us gladness, Only God can give us peace; Joys are vain that end in sadness, Joy divine shall never cease. Mid the shade of want and sorrow Undisturbed, our hearts rejoice; Patient, wait the brighter morrow; Faithful, heed the Father’s voice. 2. As the stars in order going, All-harmonious, He doth move; Heavenly calm and comfort showing, Comes the healing word of love. Who the word of wisdom heareth Feels the Father Love within, Where as dawn the shadow cleareth, Love outshines the night of sin. 3. So we find the true atonement, Know in God the perfect Friend; For in love is our atonement, Where all hearts in Him may blend. Here from prisoning pain and sorrow Have we all a sure release, Only God can bring us gladness, Only God can give us peace. Used With Tune: GLÄDJE UTAN GUD EJ FINNES Text Sources: Translator unknown

Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah

Author: William Williams; Peter Williams; John Keble Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,820 hymnals Lyrics: Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, Pilgrim through this barren land, I am weak, but thou art mighty; Hold me with thy powerful hand. Open now the crystal fountains Whence the living waters flow; Let the fiery, cloudy pillar Lead me all my journey through. Feed me with the heavenly manna In this barren wilderness; Be my sword, and shield, and banner, Be the Lord my Righteousness. When I tread the verge of Jordan, Bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's destruction, Land me safe on Canaan's side. Amen.
