Arise, Shine Out, Your Light Has Come

Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #725 (1989) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) Lyrics: 1 Arise, shine out, your light has come, unfolding city of our dreams. On distant hills a glory gleams: the new creation has begun. 2 Above earth's valleys, thick with night, high on your walls the dawn appears, and history shall dry its tears, as nations march toward your light. 3 From walls surpassing time and space unnumbered gates, like open hands, shall gather gifts from all the lands and welcome all the human race. 4 The sounds of violence shall cease as dwellings of salvation rise to sparkle in eternal skies from avenues of praise and peace. 5 The dancing air shall glow with light, and sun and moon give up their place, when love shines out of every face, our good, our glory, and delight. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-3 Languages: English Tune Title: DUNEDIN

O What Their Joy and Their Glory Must Be

Author: Peter Abelard; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #727 (1989) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) 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, city of peace that brings joy evermore; wish and fulfillment are not severed there, nor do things 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 eternally raise. 4. Now, in the meanwhile, with hearts raised on high, we for that country must yearn and must sigh; seeking Jerusalem, dear native land, through our long exile on Babylon's strand. 5. Low before him with our praises we fall, of whom, and in whom, and through whom are all; of whom, the Father; and in whom, the Son, through whom, the Spirit, with them ever One.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #731 (1989) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: New Heaven and a New Earth The Completion of Creation (The City of God) Lyrics: 1. Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; God, whose word cannot be broken, formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou mayst smile at all thy foes. 2. See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever will their thirst assuage? Grace which like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3. Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near! Thus deriving from our banner light by night and shade by day, safe we feed upon the manna which God gives us when we pray. 4. Blest inhabitants of Zion, washed in our Redeemer's blood; Jesus, whom our souls rely on, makes us monarchs, priests to God. Us, by his great love, he raises, rulers over self to reign, and as priests his solemn praises we for thankful offering bring. Scripture: Exodus 13:22 Languages: English Tune Title: AUSTRIA

Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me

Author: Dickson Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #967 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Heavenly City Lyrics: 1 Jerusalem, my happy home, Name ever dear to me; When shall my labors have an end In joy and peace in thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven-built walls And pearly gates behold; Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 Oh when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where congregations ne'er break up, And Sabbaths never end? 4 Why should I shrink from sin and woe? Or feel, at death, dismay? Jerusalem I soon shall view, In realms of endless day. 5 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Saviour stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 6 Jerusalem, my happy home, My soul still pants for thee; There shall my labors have an end When I thy joys shall see.
