Where'er His Creatures Gather

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where'er His creatures gather The unseen God is near; Let rulers fear their Ruler, Their Judge let judges fear. How long, ye earthly judges, Will ye pervert the right? How long shall wicked persons Have favor in your sight? 2 Do justice for the helpless, The orphan's cause maintain. Defend the poor and needy, Oppressed and wronged for gain. When rulers walk in darkness, When judges truth forsake, The cornerstones are crumbled, The firm foundations shake. 3 The Most High God has called you And set you up on high, But ye to Him must answer, For ye like men must die. Arise, O God eternal, Thou Judge of all the earth, Through all Thy ransomed nations Send now Thy justice forth.

The Morning Hangs a Signal

Author: William Channing Gannett, 1840-1923 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The morning hangs a signal upon the mountain crest, while all the sleeping valleys in silent darkness rest. From peak to peak it flashes, it laughs along the sky, till glory of the sunlight on all the land shall lie. 2 Above the generations the lonely prophets rise, while truth flares as the daystar within their glowing eyes; and other eyes, beholding, are kindled from that flame; and dawn becomes the morning, when prophets love proclaim. 3 The soul has lifted moments, above the drift of days, when life’s great meaning breaketh in sunrise on our ways. Behold the radiant token of faith above all fear; night shall release its splendor that morning shall appear.
