Earth thou dost visit, watering it

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 9 Earth thou dost visit, watering it; thou mak’st it rich to grow with God’s full flood; thou corn provid’st, when thou prepar'st it so. 10 Its ridges thou dost water well, its furrows down dost press; thou mak'st it soft with plenteous rain, its spring thou dost bless. 11 So thou the year most liberally dost with thy goodness crown; and all thy paths abundantly on us drop fatness down. 12 They drop upon the pastures wide, that in the desert lie; the little hills on every side rejoice right pleasantly. 13 With flocks the pastures clothed be, the vales with corn are clad; and now they shout and sing to thee, for thou hast made them glad.

Behold! The Ambassador Divine

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Behold! the Ambassador divine, Descending from above, To publish to mankind the law Of everlasting love. 2 On Him, in rich effusion poured, The heav’nly dew descends; And truth divine He shall reveal To earth’s remotest ends. 3 No trumpet sound, at His approach, Shall strike the wondering ears; But still and gentle breathe the voice In which the God appears. 4 By His kind hand the shaken reed Shall raise its falling frame; The dying embers shall revive, And kindle to a flame. 5 The onward progress of His zeal Shall never know decline, Till foreign lands and distant isles Receive the law divine. 6 He who spread forth the arch of heav’n, And bade the planets roll, Who laid the basis of the earth, And formed the human soul— 7 Thus saith the Lord, “Thee have I sent, A prophet from the sky, Wide o’er the nations to proclaim The message from on high. 8 “Before Thy face the shades of death Shall take to sudden flight; The people who in darkness dwell Shall hail a glorious light; 9 “The gates of brass shall ’sunder burst, The iron fetters fall; The promised jubilee of Heav’n Appointed rise o’er all. 10 “And lo! presaging Thy approach, The heathen temple shake, And trembling in forsaken fanes, The fabled idols quake. 11 I am Jehovah: I am One: My name shall now be known; No idol shall usurp My praise, Nor mount into My throne. 12 Lo, former scenes, predicted once, Conspicuous rise to view; And future scenes, predicted now, Shall be accomplished, too. 13 Now sing a new song to the Lord! Let earth His praise resound; Ye who upon the ocean dwell, And fill the isles around. 14 O city of the Lord! begin The universal song; And let the scattered villages The joyful notes prolong. 15 Let Kedar’s wilderness afar Lift up the lonely voice; And let the tenants of the rock With accent rude rejoice. 16 O from the streams of distant lands Unto Jehovah sing! And joyful from the mountain tops Shout to the Lord the King! 17 Let all combined with one accord Jehovah’s glories raise, Till in remotest bounds of earth The nations sound His praise.
