Good Tidings

Author: Mrs. M. O. Page Hymnal: WL1885 #40 (1885) First Line: Across the distant plains of time Refrain First Line: Good tidings, good tidings of great joy Lyrics: 1 Across the distant plains of time, I heard a heavenly strain, 'Twas sweeter far than storied rhyme, And this was the refrain— "Behold, I bring to all the earth Good tidings of great joy"— The news of the Redeemer's birth, Unmixed with earth's alloy. Refrain: Good tidings, good tidings, good tidings of great joy Tidings of great joy, great joy. 2 Across the distant plains of time, There angel voices sang, While shepherds watched their flocks by night, This was the song they sang— "Behold, today in Bethlehem A son to you is given, And he shall be your councellor, The mighty God from heaven". [Refrain] 3 Across the distant plains of time, This song is ringing still, We hear it in the rolling tide, O'er mountain top and hill: Today, today in Bethlehem A savior born to men, And he shall heal the wond’ring throng Of every sin and stain. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Across the distant plains of time]

Rally Round the Cross

Author: E. F. M. Hymnal: WL1885 #84 (1885) First Line: Again we have come in Jehovah's name Refrain First Line: Then rally! rally! round the cross! Lyrics: 1 Again we have come in Jehovah’s name, The battle to fight and the vict’ry gain, We’ll gird on the armor and to the conflict go, And in the name of Jesus we’ll conquer every foe. Refrain: Then rally! rally! rally round the cross! No one ever there will suffer loss; And in the name of Jesus we’ll face the deadly foe, And victory will perch upon our banner as we go. 2 When Israel of old marched around the wall, They blew with their trumpets and shouted all, Then down came the walls, and they took the mighty king; To God they gave the glory, who did salvation bring. [Refrain] 3 Our fathers, we know, to the Lord were true, They took up the sword and they battled through, They’re safe now in glory, and looking down today; They call to you and me to be faithful in the fray. [Refrain] 4 We all must engage if a crown we’d wear, And yonder with Jesus the glory share; Then let all be true as we into battle go, And rescue every sinner from death and all its woe. [Refrain] 5 The conflict will soon be forever o’er, The summons will come from the other shore; And then home to glory we will rejoicing go, To praise him for the victory he gave us here below. [Refrain] Tune Title: [Again we have come in Jehovah's name]
