Happy the home when God is there
Author: Henry Ware, the younger, 1794-1843 Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Happy the home when God is there,
and love fills every breast,
when one their wish, and one their prayer,
and one their heavenly rest.
2 Happy the home where Jesus' name
is sweet in every ear,
where children early lisp his fame,
and parents hold him dear.
3 Happy the home where prayer is heard
and praise is wont to rise,
where parents love the sacred word
that makes us truly wise.
4 Lord, let us in our homes agree,
this blessed peace to gain;
unite our hearts in love to thee,
and love to all will reign. Topics: Family; Home; One Life in Christ Love; Peace; Prayer / Prayers / Poems Scripture: Psalm 127 Used With Tune: ST. AGNES, DURHAM

More love to thee, more love to thee!

O holy city, seen of John
Author: Walter Russell Bowie, 1882-1969 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.6 Appears in 89 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O holy city, seen of John,
where Christ, the Lamb, doth reign,
within whose foursquare walls shall come
no night, nor need, nor pain,
and where the tears are wiped from eyes
that shall not weep again!
2 Hark, how from men whose lives are held
more cheap than merchandise,
from women struggling sore for bread,
from little children's cries,
there swells the sobbing human plaint
that bids thy walls arise.
3 Oh shame to us who rest content
while lust and greed for gain
in street and shop and tenement
wring gold from human pain,
and bitter lips in blind despair
cry “Christ hath died in vain!”
4 Give us, O God, the strength to build
the city that hath stood
too long a dream, whose laws are love,
whose crown is servanthood,
and where the sun that shineth is
God’s grace for human good.
5 Already in the mind of God
that city riseth fair:
lo, how its splendour challenges
the souls that greatly dare–
yea, bids us seize the whole of life
and build its glory there.

seek now this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 Oh let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming,
and let your 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 pride in earthly glory scorns with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far out-pass the power of human telling,
for none can guess its grace,
till we become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Topics: Fire / Flame; God the Holy Spirit; Holy Spirit Illuminator / Teacher; Holy Spirit Comforter; Longing for God and Christ Scripture: John 14:26 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

You choirs of new Jerusalem
Author: Fulbert of Chartres 9??-1028; Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 You choirs of new Jerusalem:
your sweetest notes employ
the Easter victory to praise
in songs of holy joy!
2 For Judah's Lion burst his chains
and crushed the serpent's head;
he cries aloud through death's domains
to wake the imprisoned dead.
3 Devouring depths of hell their prey
at his command restore;
the ransomed hosts pursue their way
where Jesus goes before.
4 Triumphant in his glory now–
to him all power is given;
to him in one communion bow
all saints in earth and heaven.
5 All glory to the Father be,
the Spirit and the Son;
all glory to the One-in-Three
while endless ages run. Topics: Church Year Easter; Hymns with Doxologies; Music / Singing / Song Scripture: Revelation 4 Used With Tune: ST. FULBERT Text Sources: Latin
