The Prince of Peace

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 356 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:7 First Line: Light of those whose dreary dwelling Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death! Rise on us, thy love revealing, Dissipate the clouds beneath: Thou of heaven and earth Creator, In our deepest darkness rise,-- Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring day upon our eyes. 2 Still we wait for thine appearing; Life and joy thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every poor benighted heart: Come and manifest thy favor To the ransomed, helpless race; Come, thou glorious God and Saviour! Come, and bring the gospel grace. 3 Save us, in thy great compassion, O thou mild, pacific Prince! Give the knowledge of salvation, Give the pardon of our sins; By thine all-sufficient merit, Every burdened soul release; Every weary, wandering spirit, Guide into thy perfect peace.

How did my heart rejoice to hear

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 301 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:9 Lyrics: 1 How did my heart rejoice to hear My friends devoutly say, In Zion let us all appear, And keep the solemn day. 2 I love her gates--I love the road; The church, adorned with grace, Stands like a palace built for God, To show his milder face. 3 Up to her courts, with joy unknown, The holy tribes repair: The Son of David holds his throne, And sits in judgment there. 4 He hears our praises and complaints, And while his awful voice Divides the sinners from the saints, We tremble and rejoice. 5 Peace be within this sacred place, And joy a constant guest; With holy gifts and heavenly grace Be her attendants blest! 6 My soul shall pray for Zion still, While life or breath remains; Here my best friends, my kindred dwell, Here God, my Saviour, reigns.

The Fullness of the Gentiles

Author: Alexander Pope Appears in 219 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:7 First Line: Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise! Lyrics: 1 Rise, crowned with light, imperial Salem, rise! Exalt thy towering head, and lift thine eyes; See heaven its sparkling portals wide display, And break upon thee in a flood of day. 2 See a long race thy spacious courts adorn; See future sons and daughters yet unborn In crowding ranks on every side arise, Demanding life, impatient for the skies. 3 See barbarous nations at thy gates attend, Walk in the light, and in thy temple bend; See thy bright altars thronged with prostrate kings, While every land its joyful tribute brings. 4 The seas shall waste, the skies to smoke decay, Rocks fall to dust, and mountains melt away; But fixed his word, his saving power remains; Thy realms shall last, thy own Messiah reigns!

Christ is our Corner-stone

Author: Chandler Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:9 Lyrics: 1 Christ is our Corner-stone-- On him alone we build; With his true saints alone The courts of heaven are filled: On his great love Our hopes we place, Of present grace And joys above. 2 Oh, then, with hymns of praise These hallowed courts shall ring! Our voices we will raise, The Three in One to sing; And thus proclaim In joyful song, Both loud and long, That glorious name. 3 Here, gracious God, do thou For evermore draw nigh; Accept each faithful vow, And mark each suppliant sigh: In copious shower, On all who pray, Each holy day, Thy blessings pour. 4 Here may we gain from heaven The grace which we implore, And may that grace, once given, Be with us evermore-- Until that day When all the blest To endless rest Are called away.

O How Shall I Receive Thee?

Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 94 hymnals Scripture: Haggai 2:7 First Line: O how shall I receive Thee Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My Hope, my heart's Delight! O kindle, Lord most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim; With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy Name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning, Thou com'st to set me free; I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou com'st to honor me. A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thine incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me; Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom; He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; He brings His pity near you, And bids you weep no more. Amen.
