Page 59 - English Hymn Book 2018

And the true doctrine that God has left you,
Will give all its fruits of holiness;
A new song we are all gladly singing,
For all the bright blessings bestowed by God's Election.
CHORUS
Who will they be? Who will sing the glorious song,
Who will they be? Wearing all the purest garments;
Who will they be? Those who will reign with the Redeemer,
Who will they be? Those who embrace God's grace given you.
2
The firmament is clad in bright vestments,
With all the stars, the sun, and moon;
Christ has adorned all your holy vestments,
With all the virtues and Election.
Sing nightingales and all of the goldfinch,
Rivers resounding, and mighty sea;
Angels are singing, let's ioin our voices,
Yes, God, do bless your great majesty.
3
A staff of glory the Lord has left you,
A crown of beauty girded your brow;
Of finest jewels it's brightly shining,
Beautiful jewels diamonds they are.
The faithful souls who have been triumphant,
Purest adornments of greatest price;
Beautiful glory the Lord has left you,
I' Just like He gave to Brother Aaron.

84. WHY SHOULD I FEEL DISCOURAGED

Maffi5:ii5'tFii.ist/Pr17.1iF'R'fENDSHIP
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav'n and home?
When Jesus is my portion, my constant Friend is He,
//His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me//
