Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Author: Gerard Moultrie, 1829-1885 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:10 Lyrics: 1 Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand;
ponder nothing earthly minded,
for with blessing in his hand
Christ our Lord to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2 King of kings, yet born of Mary,
as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture,
in the body and the blood,
he will give to all the faithful
his own self for heavenly food.
3 Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4 At his feet the six-winged seraph,
cherubim, with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
"Alleluia, alleluia,
alleluia, Lord most high!" Used With Tune: PICARDY Text Sources: Liturgy of St. James, 4th c.

Author: J. Addington Symonds, 1840-1893 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 136 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:9 Lyrics: 1 These things shall be: a loftier race
Than e'er the world hath known shall rise
With flame of freedom in their souls,

To spill no drop of blood, but dare
All that may plant man's lordship firm
On earth, and fire, and sea, and air.

Inarmed shall live as comrades free;
In every heart and brain shall throb
The pulse of one fraternity.

And mightier music thrill the skies,
And every life shall be a song,
When all the earth is paradise.

And peace shall reign on earth again;
O thank him for his goodness.

O Father, that your rule is just,
And wise, and changes never;
Your boundless power o'er all things reigns,
You do whate'er your will ordains;
'Tis well you are our ruler!

O Savior, who our peace restored,
And who lost sheep did gather,
O Lamb of God, enthroned on high,
Behold our need and hear our cry;
Have mercy on us, Jesus!

O Comforter unfailing,
Do you our troubled souls uplift,
Against the foe prevailing,
Avert our woes and calm our dread;
For us the Savior's blood was shed;
Do you in faith sustain us!

Eternal Beam of Light Divine
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 46:10 Lyrics: 1 Eternal Beam of light divine,
Fountain of unexhausted love,
in whom the Father’s glories shine,
through earth beneath, and heav'n above:
2 Jesus, the weary wand'rer’s rest,
give me thine easy yoke to bear,
with steadfast patience arm my breast,
with spotless love and holy fear.
3 Thankful, I take the cup from thee,
prepared and mingled by thy skill,
though bitter to the taste it be,
pow'rful the wounded soul to heal.
4 Be thou, O Rock of ages, nigh;
so shall each murm'ring thought be gone,
and grief and fear and care shall fly,
ss clouds before the mid-day sun.
5 Speak to my warring passions, “Peace”'
day to my wounded heart, “Be still!”
Thy power my strength and fortress is,
and all things serve thy sovereign will.
6 O death, where is thy sting? Where now
thy boasted victory, O grave?
Who shall contend with God? or who
can hurt whom God delights to save?

with joy my being thrills.

Out of the ivory palaces
into a world of woe,
only his great eternal love
made my Savior go.

for aloes had a part;
and when I think of the cross he bore,
my eyes with teardrops start. [Refrain]
3 His garments, too, were in cassia dipped,
with healing in a touch;
each time my feet in some sin have slipped,
he took me from its clutch. [Refrain]
4 In garments glorious he will come,
to open wide the door;
and I shall enter my heavenly home,
to dwell forevermore. [Refrain]

Our God who reigns above
And rules the world below,
Boundless in pow'r and love.

In joy and praise,
Our hearts we raise
To You, our King!

May well Your love declare,
From foes and fears at rest,
Protected by Your care.
For this bright day,
For this fair land--
Gifts of Your hand--
Our thanks we pay.

Each vale and forest green,
Shine in Your Word's pure light,
And its rich fruits be seen!
May ev'ry tongue
Be tuned to praise
And join to raise
A grateful song.
4 Earth, hear your Maker's voice;
Your great Redeemer own;
Believe, obey, rejoice,
And worship Him alone.
Cast down your pride,
Your sin deplore,
And bow before
The Crucified.

Oh, may our native land
From all its rending tombs
Send forth a glorious band,
A countless throng,
With joy to sing
To heav'n's high King
Salvation's song! Topics: Nation and National Songs Used With Tune: DARWALL'S 148TH
