O Breath of Life, Come Sweeping through Us

Author: Bessie P. Head Hymnal: TH1990 #341 (1990) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 O Breath of life, come sweeping through us, revive your church with life and pow'r. O Breath of Life, come, cleanse, renew us, and fit your church to meet this hour. 2 O Wind of God, come bend us, break us, till humbly we confess our need; then in your tenderness remake us, revive, restore, for this we plead. 3 O Breath of love, come breathe within us, renewing thought and will and heart; come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us, revive your church in every part. 4 O Heart of Christ, once broken for us, 'tis there we find our strength and rest; our broken, contrite hearts now solace, and let your waiting church be blest. 5 Revive us, Lord! Is zeal abating while harvest fields are vast and white? Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting, equip your church to spread the light.

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken

Author: John Newton Hymnal: TH1990 #345 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode: on the Rock of Ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove; who can faint, while such a river ever flows their thirst t'assuage?– grace which, like the Lord, the giver, never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hov'ring, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a cov'ring, showing that the Lord is near: thus deriving from their banner light by night and shade by day, safe they feed upon the manna which he gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name: fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure none but Zion's children know.

Hail to the millions from bondage returning! Gentiles and Jews the blest vision behold. 3 Lo, in the desert rich flowers are springing, streams ever copious are gliding along; loud from the mountain-tops echoes are ringing, wastes rise in verdure and mingle in song. 4 See, from all lands, from the isles of the ocean, praise to Jehovah ascending on high; fall'n are the engines of war and commotion, shouts of salvation are rending the sky.

The Church's One Foundation

Author: Samuel J. Stone Hymnal: TH1990 #347 (1990) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Lyrics: 1 The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ, her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the Word: from heav'n he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. 2 Elect from ev'ry nation, yet one o'er all the earth, her charter of salvation one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with ev'ry grace endued. 3 Though with a scornful wonder men see her sore oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping, their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. 4 The church shall never perish! Her dear Lord to defend, to guide, sustain, and cherish, is with her to the end; though there be those that hate her, and false sons in her pale, against or foe or traitor she ever shall prevail. 5 'Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore; till with the vision glorious her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. 6 Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.

O Thou Who the Shepherd of Israel Art

Hymnal: TH1990 #349 (1990) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 O thou who the Shepherd of Israel art, give ear to our pray'r and thy favor impart; thou leader of Joseph, thou guide of his way, 'mid cherubim dwelling, thy glory display. 2 In Ephraim's, Manasseh's and Benjamin's sight, O come thou and save us; awake in thy might. O God, give us favor, restore to thy grace; and then we shall live in the light of thy face. 3 From Egypt's dark border a vine thou didst take; destroying the heathen didst room for it make. Where planted it grew at thy sov'reign command, with roots deeply set and boughs filling the land. 4 The axe hews it down; it is burned in the fire; they perish, rebuked in thy terrible ire. O lay then thy hand on the Man of thy might, The Son of Man made to stand strong in thy sight. 5 No more shall we wander, delighting in shame; revive us, O Lord, we will call on thy name. O Lord God of hosts, us restore to thy grace, and then we shall live in the light of thy face.

Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! 2 Ev'ry human tie may perish; friend to friend unfaithful prove; mothers cease their own to cherish; heav'n and earth at last remove; but no changes can attend Jehovah's love, but no changes can attend Jehovah's love. 3 In the furnace God may prove thee, thence to bring thee forth more bright, but can never cease to love thee; thou art precious in his sight.
