thy praises nobly sing,
of old their promised offspring,
and now their Victor-King:
the prophets harp their gladness
that, whom their strains foretold,
in manifested glory
they evermore behold.
5. And David calls to memory
his own especial grace
in such clear prophet-vision
to see thee face to face:
the apostolic cohort,
thy valiant and thine own,
as royal co-assessors
are nearest to thy throne.
6. Thy martyrs reign in glory
who triumphed as they fell,
and by a thousand tortures
defeated death and hell;
and every patient sufferer,
who sorrow dared contemn,
for each especial anguish
hath one especial gem.
7. The valiant-souled confessors
put on their meet array,
who bare the heat and burden
of many a weary day:
the scorners of life’s pleasures,
their self-denial ceased,
sit down with thee and banquet
at thy eternal feast.
8. The virgins walk in beauty
amidst their lily-bowers,
the coronals assuming
of never-ending flowers;
and innocents sport gaily
through all the courts of light,
to whom thou gav’st the guerdon
before they fought the fight.
9. The soldiers of thine army,
their earthly struggles o’er,
with joy put off the armor
that they shall need no more:
for these, and all that battled
beneath their Monarch’s eyes,
the harder was the conflict
the brighter is the prize.
10. The penitent, attaining
full pardon in thy sight,
leave off the vest of sackcloth
and don the robe of white:
the bondsman and the noble,
the peasant and the king,
all gird one glorious Monarch
in one eternal ring.
Hymn A&M 626 Hail, glorious spirits, heirs of
light

about the sparkling throne of
love,

Hymn A&M 627 LET love arise and praise him
1. LET love arise and praise him
Who came as light from heaven,
And shines as light reflected
in souls of men forgiven:
Through the dimness of our shadows.
Through the mist he came;
For the souls of them that see him
Blessed be his name.
2. He cometh as the morning.
The light of day arisen,
To them that sit in darkness.
The souls of men in prison:
Blessed light that deigns to visit
Man in his distress!
Welcome with thy wings of healing,
Sun of Righteousness!
3. Behold the sky at evening,
When day on earth is ending,
What clouds are seen at sunset
Upon the sun attending:
Where our sun is sinking from us
Into skies unknown,
All the clouds aflame with glory
Where he passes on.
4. So, where our Christ advances.
The Lord of Life undying,
He goes with flashing trumpets
And pomp of banners flying;
Not in unattended glory,
Nor in lonely might:
Multitudes that none can number
Answer back his light.
5. A burning mist around him,
A flock of souls unending,
A cloud of flying spirits,
Ascending and descending,
Swimming on in light below him,
Soaring on above,
Who are these that move in rapture
Round about his love?
6. O these are souls that pitied,
Because they knew his pity,
And found him in their neighbor
And met him in their city;
These are they whose life among us
Won the weak from vice;
These are they who, little knowing,
Shared his sacrifice.
7. Through them be healed our
wounded,
Through them he led our blindness
Redeemed our unbelieving,
Atoned for our unkindness.
Therefore in the light they follow
Where the Lamb doth go:
Therefore shines their dazzling raiment
White as glistening snow.
8. So Christ his temple enters.
The Priest that was so wounded.
And makes a new atonement
As Love by love surrounded:
Love amazing that transfigures
Where its light has shone,
Love that burns upon the altar.
Love that mounts the throne.

marching as to war,
with the cross of Jesus
going on before!

loud your anthems raise.

moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
where the saints have trod;

one in hope and doctrine,
one in charity.

4. Crown and thrones may perish,
kingdoms rise and wane,
but the Church of Jesus
constant will remain;
gates of hell can never
‘gainst that Church prevail;
we have Christ’s own promise,
and that cannot fail.
Onward, etc.
5. Onward, then, ye people,
join our happy throng;
blend with ours your voices
in the triumph song:
glory, laud, and honor,
unto Christ the King;
this through countless ages
men and angels sing.
Onward, etc.

And sing in songs which never end
The wondrous name.
