O Day of Rest and Gladness!

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: HOoS1937 #312 (1937) Person Name: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness! O day of joy and light! O balm for care and sadness, Most beautiful and bright! On thee the high and lowly, Through ages joined in tune, Sing, holy, holy, holy, To God, the great Triune. 2 On thee, at the creation, The light first had its birth; On thee, for our salvation, Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious, The Spirit sent from heav'n; And thus on thee, most glorious, A three-fold light was giv'n. 3 To-day on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel light is glowing With pure and radiant beams, And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest; To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father and to Son, The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Amen.

Amen.

Hark! the Sound of Holy Voices

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Hymnal: HOoS1937 #627 (1937) Person Name: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-1885 Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Halleluia, halleluia, Halleluia, Lord, to Thee! Multitudes which none can number, Like the stars in glory stand, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of vict'ry in their hand. 2 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; Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented, Sawn asunder, slain with sword, They have conquered death and Satan By the might of Christ the Lord. 3 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste forever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity. Amen.

Shepherds quake at the sight: Glories stream from heaven afar; Heavenly hosts sing alleluia, Christ, the Saviour is born! Christ, the Saviour is born! 3 Silent night! Holy night! Son of God, love’s pure light Radiant beams from Thy holy face, With the dawn of redeeming grace, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth, Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth. Amen.

Author: Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf Hymnal: HOoS1937 #213 (1937) Person Name: Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf Lyrics: 1 We hail Thee, Lord, Thy Church's Rock, With joyful acclamation! Thou guardian Shepherd of Thy flock, Come, feed Thy congregation. We own the doctrine of Thy cross To be our sole foundation: Accept from ev'ry one of us The deepest adoration. 2 O Thou, who always dost abide Thy Church's Head and Saviour, Be still Thy servants' constant guide, Direct our whole behavior. Thy statutes to Thy Church declare, Still watch o'er its salvation: Each member make Thy special care And aid him in his station. 3 Jesus, the Church's Head and Lord, Who as a shepherd leadest, And with Thy sacrament and Word Thy people richly feedest: For mercies in such countless throng We bow our hearts before Thee, And hope we shall in heaven ere long More worthily adore Thee. Amen.
