Covenant Faithfulness

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: In vision to His saints God spake Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. 2 My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 3 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And never more My grace remove, And never more My grace remove. 4 Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his pow'r and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land, Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 5 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My first-born son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. 6 For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure, His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain, Forever, while the heavens remain. 7 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove, My mercy I will not remove. 8 Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake, Nor change the promise that I spake. 9 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away, When sun and moon have passed away. 10 On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down, His matchless strength is broken down. 11 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway, Forgotten is his kingly sway. 12 Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 13 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? His soul from death, and from the grave? 14 Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name, Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 15 Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen. Amen. Blest be His Name, Amen. Amen.

In Vision to His Saints God Spake

Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Red) #181 (1934) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 In vision to His saints God spake; From out the people one I take, A mighty leader, true and brave, Ordained, exalted, strong to save. My chosen servant I appoint, With holy oil his head anoint; My hand with him shall still remain, My arm his strength shall well sustain. 2 No enemy shall him affright, His adversaries I will smite, My faithfulness to him will prove, And nevermore My grace remove. Yea, he shall triumph in My Name, And great shall be his power and fame, From sea to sea his mighty hand Shall hold dominion o'er the land. 3 Thou art my Father, he shall cry, My God, my rock of refuge high; My firstborn son shall he be owned, Above the kings of earth enthroned. For him My mercy shall endure, My covenant made with him is sure; His throne and race I will maintain Forever, while the heavens remain. 4 Should sons of his My laws forsake, My just commands and statues break, Then, though My rod their sins reprove, My mercy I will not remove. Though they be chastened sore and tried, My faithfulness shall yet abide; My plighted word I will not break, Nor change the promise that I spake. 5 My oath is steadfast, ever sure, My servant's race shall still endure; His throne forever firm shall stay When sun and moon have passed away. On Thy anointed wrath is poured As if Thy covenant were abhorred; Thou hast profaned his kingly crown, His matchless strength is broken down. 6 He is reproached and spoiled of all, His enemies upon him fall; His beauty is consumed away, Forgotten is his kingly sway. Cut off in youth, his sacred name Is covered now with deepest shame; How long, O Lord, shall wrath abide? Thy face forever wilt Thou hide? 7 Think on my life; O Lord, take thought; Hast Thou created man for nought? What man that lives has power to save His soul from death, and from the grave? Where are Thy mercies which of old Where in Thy promises foretold? Remember, Lord, the bitter shame Heaped on Thy own anointed's name. 8 I sing of mercies that endure Forever builded firm and sure, Of faithfulness that never dies, Established changeless in the skies. Blest be the Lord for evermore, Whose promise stands from days of yore. His word is faithful now as then; Blest be His Name. Amen, Amen.

Joseph Barnby

1838 - 1896 Person Name: Sir Joseph Barnby Composer of "JORDAN" in Psalter Hymnal (Blue) Joseph Barnby (b. York, England, 1838; d. London, England, 1896) An accomplished and popular choral director in England, Barby showed his musical genius early: he was an organist and choirmaster at the age of twelve. He became organist at St. Andrews, Wells Street, London, where he developed an outstanding choral program (at times nicknamed "the Sunday Opera"). Barnby introduced annual performances of J. S. Bach's St. John Passion in St. Anne's, Soho, and directed the first performance in an English church of the St. Matthew Passion. He was also active in regional music festivals, conducted the Royal Choral Society, and composed and edited music (mainly for Novello and Company). In 1892 he was knighted by Queen Victoria. His compositions include many anthems and service music for the Anglican liturgy, as well as 246 hymn tunes (published posthumously in 1897). He edited four hymnals, including The Hymnary (1872) and The Congregational Sunday School Hymnal (1891), and coedited The Cathedral Psalter (1873). Bert Polman
