All Ye Gentile Lands Awake!

Author: Johann Rist; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: All ye Gentile lands awake Lyrics: 1. All ye Gentile lands awake! Thou, O Salem, rise and shine! See the day-spring o’er you break, Heralding a morn divine, Telling, God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2. Lo! the shadows flee away, For our Light is come at length, Brighter than all earthly day, Source of being, life and strength! Whoso on this Light would gaze Must forsake all evil ways. 3. Ah how blindly did we stray Ere shone forth this glorious Sun, Seeking each his separate way, Leaving Heaven, unsought, unwon; All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 4. Earthly were our thoughts and low, In the toils of folly caught, Tossed of Satan to and fro, Counting goodness all for naught; By the world and flesh deceived, Heaven’s true joys we disbelieved. 5. Then were hidden from our eyes All the law and grace of God; Rich and poor, the fools and wise, Wanting light to find the road Leading to the heavenly life, Wandered lost in care and strife. 6. But the glory of the Lord Hath arisen on us today; We have seen the light outpoured That must surely drive away All things that to night belong, All the sad earth’s woe and wrong. 7. Thy arising, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thy arising, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Through my smiles and through my tears Still Thy light, O Lord, appears. 8. Let me, Lord in peace depart From this evil world to Thee; Where Thyself sole Brightness art, Thou hast kept a place for me: In the shining city there Crowns of light Thy saints shall wear.

Triumphal Entry

Author: Dwight M. Pratt Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: See from Bethany advancing Lyrics: 1. See from Bethany advancing Joyful throngs by Jesus led; Loud hosannas rend the heavens, Garments rich His pathway spread; Shout, ye saints! your triumph sing! Blessèd is the coming king! 2. Now the sacred gates are lifted, Zion’s king is passing through. All the glory of the city And the temple rise to view; Zion, shout, your Savior own, David’s Son, on David’s throne! 3. King of peace, Jehovah’s chosen! King with highest glory crowned! Honored by the hosts of Heaven, By the earthly Zion owned. Take Thy scepter, rule the throng Praising Thee with hallowed song! 4. Sad, ah, sad the changeful morrow, Bitter scorn for ardent praise; They who’d build a throne of glory, Now a cruel cross upraise. Yet, O Zion, triumph sing! Christ betrayed is Savior, king!
