Hymns of the Church, New and Old

Sun of grace, the shad-ows flee; Bright-en Thou my Sab-bath morn - ing!

With Thy joyous sun-shine blest, Hap-py is my day of rest. Amen.

Angel harps, for - ev er ring-ing, Rest not day nor night; Thousands on - ly

5 O great and glorious vision!

The Lamb upon His throne;
O wondrous sight for man to see!
The Saviour with His own:
To drink the living waters

And stand upon the shore,
Where neither sorrow, sin, nor death,
Shall ever enter more.

6 O Lamb of God Who reignest!

Thou Bright and Morning Star,
Whose glory lightens that new earth
Which now we see from far!
O worthy Judge eternal!

When Thou dost bid us come,
Then open wide the gates of pearl,
And call Thy servants home. Amen.

J. MICHAEL. HAYDN

(J= 90)

Al- le- lu- ia, song of glad-ness, Voice of joy that can - not die;

In the house of God a- bid-ing Thus they sing e- ter - nal - ly. A-men.

2 Alleluia thou resoundest,

True Jerusalem and free;
Alleluia, joyful mother,

All thy children sing with thee;
But by Babylon's sad waters
Mourning exiles now are we.

3 Alleluia cannot always

Be our song while here below; Alleluia our transgressions

Make us for a while forego;
For the solemn time is coming
When our tears for sin must flow.

4 Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee, Grant us, blessed Trinity,

At the last to see Thy glory

In our home beyond the sky;
There to Thee forever singing

Alleluia joyfully. Amen.

Latin Hymn, 11th cent. Tr. JOHN M. NEALE
