He who erected heav'n's bright arch
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 6 He who erected heav’ns bright arch,
and bade the planets roll,
who peopled all the climes of earth,
and form'd the human soul,
7 Thus saith the Lord, Thee have I rais'd,
my Prophet thee install;
in right I’ve rais'd thee, and in strength
I’ll succour whom I call.
8 I will establish with the lands
a covenant in thee,
to give the Gentile nations light,
and set the pris’ners free:
9 Asunder burst the gates of brass;
the iron fetters fall;
and gladsome light and liberty
are straight restor'd to all.
10 I am the Lord, and by the name
of great Jehovah known;
no idol shall usurp my praise,
nor mount into my throne.
11 Lo! former scenes, predicted once
conspicuous rise to view;
and future scenes, predicted now,
shall be accomplish'd too.
12 Sing to the Lord in joyful strains!
let earth his praise resound,
ye who upon the ocean dwell,
and fill the isles around!
13 O city of the Lord! begin
the universal song;
and let the scatter'd villages
the cheerful notes prolong.
14 Let Kedar’s wilderness afar
lift up its lonely voice;
and let the tenants of the rock
with accents rude rejoice;
15 Till ‘midst the streams of distant lands
the islands sound his praise;
and all combin'd, with one accord,
Jehovah’s glories raise. Scripture: Isaiah 42:6-15 Used With Tune: CREDITON

their harvest treasures home.

to us a Son is given;
him shall the tribes of earth obey,
and all the hosts of heaven.

the great and mighty Lord.

his reign no end shall know:

Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-51 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 820 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark the glad sound! the Saviour comes,
the Saviour promised long;
let every heart prepare a throne,
and every voice a song.
2 On him the Spirit largely poured
exerts its sacred fire;
Wisdom and might and zeal and love
his holy breast inspire.
3 He comes the prisoners to release
in Satan's bondage held;
the gates of brass before him burst,
the iron fetters yield.
4 He comes the broken heart to bind,
the bleeding soul to cure,
and with the treasures of his grace
to enrich the humble poor.
5 His silver trumpets publish loud
the jubilee of the Lord,
our debts are all remitted now,
our heritage restored.
6 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace,
your welcome shall proclaim,
and heaven's exalted arches ring
with your beloved name.

O thou, who by a star didst guide
Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O thou, who by a star didst guide
The wise men on their way,
Until it came and stood beside
The place where Jesus lay;
2 Although by stars thou dost not lead
Thy servants now below,
Thy Holy Spirit, when they need,
Will show them how to go. A-men.
3 As yet we know thee but in part,
But still we trust thy word
That blessèd are the pure in heart,
For they shall see the Lord.
4 O Saviour, give us then thy grace
To make us pure in heart,
That we may see thee, face to face,
Hereafter as thou art.
Amen.

When Zion's fortunes God restored
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Zion's fortunes God restored,
it was a dream come true.
Our mouths were then with laughter filled,
our tongues with songs anew.
2 The nations said, 'The LORD has done
great things for Israel.'
The Lord did mighty things for us,
and joy our hearts knew well.
3 Restore our fortunes, gracious Lord,
like streams in desert soil.
A joyful harvest will reward
the weeping sower's toil.
4 The man who, bearing seed to sow,
goes out with tears of grief,
will come again with songs of joy,
bearing his harvest sheaf. Topics: Creation Harvest; God Through the Years His Providence Scripture: Psalm 126 Used With Tune: CREDITON Text Sources: Free Church of Scotland Psalmody Committee
