Revelation 1:9

• [Rev 1:9] An Exile For The Faith

  An exile for the faith, Of His incarnate Lord, Beyond the stars, beyond all space, His soul in vision soared. There saw in glory Him Who liveth, and was dead, There Judah’s Lion, and the Lamb That for our ransom bled. There of the Kingdom learned The mysteries sublime; How, sown in martyrs’ blood, the faith Should spread from clime to clime. Lord, give us grace, like him, In Thee to live and die; To spurn the fleeting things of earth, And seek for joys on high. Jesu, our risen Lord, We praise Thee and adore, Who art with God the Father One And Spirit evermore.

Revelation 21:9

• [Rev 21:9] Spouse Of Christ, In Arms Contending

  Spouse of Christ, in arms contending O’er each clime beneath the sun, Blend with prayers for help ascending Notes of praise for triumphs won. As the Church today rejoices All her saints to join on high, So from earth let all our voices Rise in solemn harmony. First amid the laurelled legions Prays the mother to her Son, Close to Christ in those fair regions Where high praise to Him is done. Angels next, in due gradation Of the Spirit’s ministry, Hymn the Father of creation, Maker of the stars on high. John, the herald voice sonorous, Head of the prophetic throng, Patriarchs, and seers in chorus, Join to swell the angels’ song. Near to Christ th’Apostles seated, Trampling on the powers of hell, By the promise now completed Judge the tribes of Israel. They who nobly died believing, Martyrs purpled in their gore, Crowns of life by death receiving, Rest in joy forevermore. Priests and Levites, Gospel preachers, And confessors numberless, Prelates meek and holy teachers, Bear the palm of righteousness. Virgin souls, by high profession To the Lamb devoted here, Strewing flowers in gay procession At the marriage feast appear. All are blest together, praising God’s eternal majesty, Thrice repeated anthems raising To the all holy Trinity. In your heav’nly habitations, In your blessèd home on high, Hear, ye saints, our aspirations, As to God we lift our cry. Ever praising, ever praying, Help ye thus your brethren here, That the will of God obeying We in peace may persevere. So may we, with hearts devoted, Serve our God in holiness; So may we, by God promoted, Share that heaven which ye possess.

• [Rev 22:16] Brighten The Corner Where You Are

  Do not wait until some deed of greatness you may do, Do not wait to shed your light afar, To the many duties ever near you now be true, Brighten the corner where you are. Refrain Brighten the corner where you are! Brighten the corner where you are! Someone far from harbor you may guide across the bar; Brighten the corner where you are! Just above are clouded skies that you may help to clear, Let not narrow self your way debar; Though into one heart alone may fall your song of cheer, Brighten the corner where you are. Refrain Here for all your talent you may surely find a need, Here reflect the bright and Morning Star; Even from your humble hand the Bread of Life may feed, Brighten the corner where you are.

• [Rev 22:16] How Brightly Beams The Morning Star!

  How brightly beams the Morning Star! What sudden radiance from afar Doth glad us with its shining, Brightness of God that breaks our night And fills the darkened souls with light Who long for truth were pining! Thy Word, Jesu, inly feeds us, Rightly leads us, life bestowing; Praise, oh praise such love o’erflowing. Thou here my Comfort, there my Crown, Thou King of Heav’n, who camest down To dwell as man beside me; My heart doth praise Thee o’er and o’er, If Thou art mine I ask no more, Be wealth or fame denied me; Thee I seek now; none who proves Thee, None who loves Thee finds Thee fail him; Lord of life, Thy powers avail him! Through Thee alone can I be blest, Then deep be on my heart impressed The love that Thou hast borne me; So make it ready to fulfill With burning zeal Thy holy will, Though men may vex or scorn me; Savior, let me never lose Thee, For I choose Thee, thirst to know Thee; All I am and have I owe Thee! O God, our Father far above, Thee too I praise for all the love Thou in Thy Son dost give me! In Him am I made one with Thee, My Brother and my Friend is He; Shall aught affright or grieve me? He is Greatest, Best, and Highest, Ever nighest to the weakest; Fear no foes, if Him thou seekest! O praise to Him who came to save, Who conquered death and burst the grave; Each day new praise resoundeth To Him the Lamb who once was slain, The Friend whom none shall trust in vain, Whose grace for aye aboundeth; Sing, ye heavens, tell the story Of His glory, till His praises Flood with light Earth’s darkest places.

• [Rev 22:16] How Lovely Shines The Morning Star

  How lovely shines the Morning Star! The nations see and hail afar The light in Judah shining. Thou David’s Son of Jacob’s race, My Bridegroom and my King of Grace, For Thee my heart is pining. Lowly, holy, great and glorious, Thou victorious Prince of graces, Filling all the heav’nly places. O highest joy by mortals won, True Son of God and Mary’s Son, Thou highborn King of ages! Thou art my heart’s most beauteous Flower, And Thy blest Gospel’s saving power My raptured soul engages. Thou mine, I Thine; sing hosanna! Heav’nly manna tasting, eating, Whilst Thy love in songs repeating. Now richly to my waiting heart, O Thou, my God, deign to impart The grace of love undying. In Thy blest body let me be, E’en as the branch is in the tree, Thy life my life supplying. Sighing, crying, for the savor Of Thy favor; resting never Till I rest in Thee forever. A pledge of peace from God I see When Thy pure eyes are turned to me To show me Thy good pleasure. Jesus, Thy Spirit and Thy Word, Thy body and Thy blood afford My soul its dearest treasure. Keep me kindly in Thy favor, O my Savior! Thou wilt cheer me; Thy Word calls me to draw near Thee. Thou, mighty Father, in Thy Son Didst love me ere Thou hadst begun This ancient world’s foundation. Thy Son hath made a friend of me, And when in spirit Him I see, I joy in tribulation! What bliss is this! He that liveth To me giveth life forever; Nothing me from Him can sever. Lift up the voice and strike the string, Let all glad sounds of music ring In God’s high praises blended. Christ will be with me all the way, Today, tomorrow, every day, Till traveling days be ended. Sing out, ring out, triumph glorious, O victorious, chosen nation; Praise the God of your salvation. Oh, joy to know that Thou, my Friend, Art Lord, Beginning without end, The First and Last, eternal! And Thou at length—O glorious grace!— Wilt take me to that holy place, The home of joys supernal. Amen, Amen! Come and meet me! Quickly greet me! With deep yearning Lord, I look for Thy returning.

• [Rev 22:16] Morning

  Now that the daystar glimmers bright We suppliantly pray That He, the uncreated Light, May guide us on our way. No sinful word, nor deed of wrong, Nor thoughts that idly rove, But simple truth be on our tongue, And in our hearts be love. And while the hours in order flow, O Christ, securely fence Our gates, beleaguered by the foe, The gate of every sense. And grant that to Thine honor, Lord, Our daily toil may tend; That we begin it at Thy Word, And in Thy favor end. To God the Father glory be, And to His only Son, And to the Spirit, One and Three, While endless ages run.

  My God, the Spring of all my joys, The Life of my delights, The Glory of my brightest days, And Comfort of my nights! In darkest shades, if He appear, My dawning is begun, He is my soul’s bright morning star, And He my rising sun. The opening heav’ns around me shine, With beams of sacred bliss, While Jesus shows His heart is mine, And whispers, I am His. My soul would leave this heavy clay, At that transporting word, Run up with joy the shining way, T’embrace my dearest Lord. Fearless of hell and ghastly death, I’d break through every foe; The wings of love and arms of faith Would bear me conqueror through.

• [Rev 22:16] Ye Clouds And Darkness, Hosts Of Night

  Ye clouds and darkness, hosts of night, That breed confusion and affright, Begone! o’erhead the dawn shines clear, The light breaks in, and Christ is here. Earth’s gloom flees broken and dispersed, By the sun’s piercing shafts coerced: The day-star’s eyes rain influence bright, And colors glimmer back to sight. Thee, Christ, alone we know; to Thee We bend in pure simplicity; Our songs with tears to Thee arise; Prove Thou our hearts with Thy clear eyes. Though we be stained with blots within, Thy quickening rays shall purge our sin; Light of the Morning Star, Thy grace Shed on us from Thy cloudless face. All laud to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete.
