Hymn 41

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 87 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 7:13 First Line: These glorious minds, how bright they shine! Lyrics: "These glorious minds, how bright they shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the happy seats Of everlasting day?"

Now they approach a spotless God, And bow before his throne Their warbling harps and sacred songs Adore the Holy One. The unveiled glories of his face Amongst his saints reside, While the rich treasure of his grace Sees all their wants supplied. Tormenting thirst shall leave their souls, And hunger flee as fast; The fruit of life's immortal tree Shall be their sweet repast. The Lamb shall lead his heav'nly flock Where living fountains rise; And love divine shall wipe away The sorrows of their eyes.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Appears in 859 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 7:14 Lyrics: 1 The Church’s one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord; She is His new creation By water and the word; From heav'n He came and sought her To be His holy bride; With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died. 2 Elect from every nation, Yet one o’er all the earth, Her charter of salvation One Lord, one faith, one birth; One holy name she blesses, Partakes one holy food, And to one hope she presses, With every grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder Men see her sore oppressed, By schisms rent asunder, By heresies distressed; Yet saints their watch are keeping, Their cry goes up, “How long?” And soon the night of weeping Shall be the morn of song. 4 'Mid toil and tribulation, And tumult of her war, She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore; Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest, And the great Church victorious Shall be the Church at rest. 5 Yet she on earth hath union With God, the Three in One, And mystic sweet communion With those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, On high may dwell with Thee. Amen.
