Great Shepherd of Thine Israel

Hymnal: BW1867 #118 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Great Shepherd of Thine Israel, Who didst between the cherubs dwell, And lead the tribes, Thy chosen sheep, Safe through the desert and the deep,-- 2 Thy church is in the desert now-- Shine from on high, and guide us through; Turn us to Thee--Thy love restore, We shall be saved, and sigh no more. 3 Hast Thou not planted with Thy hands A lovely vine in this our land? Did not Thy power defend it round, And heavenly dew enrich the ground? 4 Return, almighty God, return, Nor let Thy bleeding vineyard mourn; Turn us to Thee--Thy love restore, We shall be saved, and sigh no more.

Prayer for a Revival

Hymnal: BW1867 #119 (1867) First Line: Saviour, visit Thy plantation Lyrics: 1 Savior, visit Thy plantation, Grant us Lord, a gracious rain! All will come to dissolution, Unless Thou return again: Lord, revive us, All our help must come from Thee! 2 Surely, once Thy garden flourished, Every part looked gay and green: Then Thy word our spirits nourished-- Happy seasons we have seen! Lord, revive us, All our help must come from Thee! 3 But a drought has since succeeded, And a sad decline we see; Lord, Thy help is greatly needed-- Help can only come from Thee. Lord, revive us, All our help must come from Thee! 4 Some in whom our souls delighted We shall meet no more below; Some alas! we fear are blighted, Scarce a single leaf they show. Lord, revive us, All our help must come from Thee! 5 Dearest Saviour, hasten hither, Thou canst make them bloom again! Oh permit them not to wither, Let not all our hopes be vain. Lord, revive us, All our help must come from Thee! 6 Let our mutual love be fervent; Make us prevalent in prayers; Let each one, esteem Thy servant, Shun the world's bewitching snare. Lord, revive us, All our help must come from Thee! 7 Break the tempter's fatal power; Turn the stony hearts to flesh; And begin from this good hour To revive Thy work afresh. Lord, revive us, All our help must come from Thee! Topics: The Church Vicissitudes Languages: English

When we, our weary limbs to rest

Hymnal: BW1867 #120 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When we, our wearied limbs to rest, Sat down by proud Euphrates' stream, We wept with doleful thoughts oppressed, And Zion was our mournful theme. 2 Our harps, that when with joy we sung, Were wont their tuneful parts to bear, With silent strings neglected hung On willow-trees that withered there. 3 Oh Salem, our once happy seat, When I of thee forgetful prove, Let then my trembling hand forget The speaking strings with art to move! 4 If I to mention thee forbear, Perpetual silence be my doom; Or if my chiefest joy compare With thee, Jerusalem, my home!

See, from Zion's sacred mountain

Hymnal: BW1867 #121 (1867) Lyrics: 1 See, from Zion's sacred mountain Streams of living water flow; God has opened there a fountain This supplies the plains below: They are blesséd Who its sovereign virtues know. 2 Through ten thousand channels flowing, Streams of mercy find their way; Life, and health, and joy bestowing, Waking beauty from decay: Oh ye nations, Hail the long-expected day. 3 Gladdened by the flowing treasure, All-enriching as it goes, Lo! the desert smiles with pleasure, Buds and blossoms as the rose: Lo! the desert Sings for joy, where'er it flows.

Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness

Hymnal: BW1867 #122 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Daughter of Zion, awake from thy sadness, Wake! for thy foes shall oppress thee no more; Bright o'er the hills dawns the day-star of gladness, Rise! for the night of thy sorrow is o'er. 2 Strong were thy foes; but the Arm that subdued them, And scattered their legions was mightier far; They fled like the chaff, from the scourge that pursued them, Vain were their steeds and their chariots of war. 3 Daughter of Zion, the Power that hath saved thee Extolled with the harp and the timbrel should be; Shout! for the foe is destroyed that enslaved thee, Th'oppressor is vanquished, and Zion is free.

On the mountain's to appearing

Hymnal: BW1867 #123 (1867) Lyrics: 1 On the mountain's top appearing, Lo! the sacred herald stands; Welcome news to Zion bearing, Zion long in hostile lands: Mourning captive, God himself will loose thy bands. 2 Has thy night been long and mournful, All thy friends unfaithful proved? Have thy foes been proud and scornful, By thy sighs and tears unmoved? Cease thy mourning, Zion is still well beloved. 3 God, thy God, will now restore thee! He himself appears thy friend: All thy foes shall flee before thee; Here their boasts and triumphs end. Great deliverance Zion's King vouchsafes to send. 4 Peace and joyful shall now attend thee, All thy warfare now is past, God, thy Saviour, shall defend thee, Peace and joy are come at last; All thy conflicts End in everlasting rest.

I love Thy kingdom, Lord!

Hymnal: BW1867 #124 (1867) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love Thy kingdom, Lord! The house of Thine abode; The church, O blest Redeemer! saved With Thine own precious blood. 2 I love Thy church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 If e’er to bless thy sons My voice or hands deny: These hands let useful skills forsake, This voice in silence die. 4 If e'er my heart forget Her welfare or her woe: Let every joy this heart forsake, And every grief o'erflow. 5 For her my tears shall fall; For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 6 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.

Not to the terrors of the Lord

Hymnal: BW1867 #125 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Not to the terrors of the Lord, The tempest, fire, and smoke: Not to the thunder of that Word Which God on Sinai spoke; 2 But we are come to Sion’s hill, The city of our God, Where milder words declare His will, And spread His love abroad. 3 Behold th’innumerable host Of angels clothed in light: Behold the spirits of the just Whose faith is changed to sight. 4 Behold the blest assembly there Whose names are writ in heaven; And God, the Judge of all, declare Their sins, through Christ, forgiven. 5 Angels, and living saints, and dead But one communion make: All join in Christ their vital Head, And of His love partake.

Hark! the song of jubilee

Hymnal: BW1867 #126 (1867) Lyrics: 1 Hark! the song of jubilee, Loud as mighty thunders roar, Or the fullness of the sea, When it breaks upon the shore! 2 See, Jehovah's banner's furled; Sheathed His sword: He speaks,--'tis done! And the kingdoms of this world Are the kingdoms of His Son. 3 He shall reign from pole to pole With supreme unbounded sway; He shall reign, when, like a scroll, Yonder heavens have passed away. 4 Hallelujah! for the Lord God omnipotent shall reign; Hallelujah!--let the word Echo round the earth and main. 5 Hallelujah! hark! the sound, From the centre to the skies, Wakes above, beneath, around, All creation's harmonies. 6 Then the end--beneath His rod, Man's last enemy shall fall: Hallelujah! Christ in God, God in Christ, is All in All. Topics: The Church Triumphant Languages: English

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Hymnal: BW1867 #127 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does His successive journeys run, His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. 2 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with grateful song; And with united hearts proclaim That grace and truth by Jesus came. 3 Blessings abound where'er He reigns; The prisoners leaps to loose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 4 Where He displays His healing power, The sting of death is known no more: In Him the sons of Adam boast More blessings than their father lost.
