I know not, O I know not, What social joys are there, What radiancy of glory, What light beyond compare. 2 They stand, those halls of Sion, Conjubilant with song, And bright with many an angel, And all the martyr throng; The Prince is ever in them, The daylight is serene, The pastures of the blessèd Are decked in glorious sheen. 3 There is the throne of David, And there, from care released, The song of them that triumph, The shout of them that feast; And they who, with their Leader, Have conquered in the fight, For ever and for ever Are clad in robes of white. 4 O sweet and blessèd country, Shall I ever see thy face? O sweet and blessed country, Shall I ever win thy grace? Exult, O dust and ashes! The Lord shall be thy part: His only, his for ever, Thou shalt be, and thou art!

Littledale, 1833-90 Hymnal: NEH1985 #137 (1986) Meter: 6.6.11 D Person Name: Bianco da Siena, d. 1434 Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, Seek thou this soul of mine, And visit it with thine own ardour glowing; O Comforter, draw near, Within my heart appear, And kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing. 2 O let it freely burn, Till earthly passions turn To dust and ashes in its heat consuming; And let thy glorious light Shine ever on my sight, And clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3 Let holy charity Mine outward vesture be, And lowliness become mine inner clothing; True lowliness of heart, Which takes the humbler part, And o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing. 4 And so the yearning strong, With which the soul will long, Shall far outpass the power of human telling; For none can guess its grace, Till it become the place Wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints

Author: W. J. Birkbeck, 1869-1916 Hymnal: NEH1985 #526 (1986) Person Name: W. J. Birkbeck, 1869-1916 Lyrics: Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints: Where sorrow and pain are no more; Neither sighing but life everlasting. Thou only art immortal, and the creator and maker of man: And we are mortal formed from the dust of earth, And unto earth shall we return: for so thou didst ordain, When thou created me saying: "Dust thou art and unto dust shalt thou return." All we go down to the dust; And weeping o'er the grave we make our song: Alleluya, alleluya, alleluya. Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints: Where sorrow and pain are no more; Neither sighing but life everlasting.

Blacker, 1822-88 Lyrics: 1 Only-begotten, Word of God eternal, Lord of Creation, merciful and mighty, Hear thou thy servants, when their tuneful voices Rise to thy presence. 2 Thus in our solemn Feast of Dedication, Graced with returning rites of due devotion, Ever thy children, year by year rejoicing, Chant in thy temple. 3 This is thy palace; here thy presence-chamber; Here may thy servants, at the mystic banquet, Daily adoring, take thy body broken, Drink of thy chalice. 4 Here for thy children stands the holy laver, Fountain of pardon for the guilt of nature, Cleansed by whose water springs a race anointed, Liegemen of Jesus. 5 Here in our sickness, healing grace aboundeth, Light in our blindness, in our toil refreshment; Sin is forgiven, hope o’er fear prevaileth, Joy over sorrow. 6 Hallowed this dwelling where the Lord abideth, This is none other than the gate of heaven; Strangers and pilgrims, making homes eternal, Pass through its portals. 7 Lord, we beseech thee, as we throng thy temple By thy past blessings, by thy present bounty, Smile on thy children, and with tender mercy Hear our petitions. 8 God in Three Persons, Father everlasting, Son co-eternal, ever blessèd Spirit, Thine be the glory, praise, and adoration, Now and for ever. Amen. Topics: Dedication Festival; Procession; The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Languages: English Tune Title: ISTE CONFESSOR (2)

And in verity our redemption, 3 Grieving that the ages of men must perish Thro' the tempter's subtlety, 4 Still in heav'n abiding, thou cames earth-ward Of thine own great clemency: 5 Then freely and graciously Deigning to assume humanity, 6 To lost ones and perishing Gavest thou thy free deliverance, Filling all the world with joy. 7 O Christ, our souls and bodies cleanse By thy perfect sacrifice; 8 That we as temples pure and bright Fit for thine abode may be. 9 By thy former advent justify, 10 By thy second grant us liberty: 11 That when in the might of glory Thou descendest, Judge of all, 12 We in raiment undefiled, Bright may shine, and ever follow, Lord, thy footsteps blest, where'er they lead us.
