How firm a foundation
Author: Richard Keen Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2,121 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:1-3 First Line: How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord Lyrics: 1 How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
is laid for your faith in his excellent word;
what more can he say than to you he hath said,
you who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
2 Fear not, he is with thee, O be not dismayed;
for he is thy God, and will still give thee aid;
he'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
upheld by his righteous, omnipotent hand.
3 In every condition, in sickness, in health,
in poverty's vale, or abounding in wealth;
at home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
as thy days may demand shall thy strength ever be.
4 When through the deep waters he calls thee to go,
the rivers of grief shall not thee overflow;
for he will be with thee in trouble to bless,
and sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
5 When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
his grace, all-sufficient shall be thy supply;
the flame shall not hurt thee, his only design
thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine.
6 The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,
he will not, he cannot, desert to its foes;
that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
he never will leave, he will never forsake.

sweet land of liberty,
of thee I sing:
land where my fathers died,
land of the pilgrims' pride,
from every mountainside
let freedom ring!
2 My native country, thee,
land of the noble free,
thy name I love;
I love thy rocks and rills,
thy woods and templed hills;
my heart with rapture thrills
like that above.
3 Let music swell the breeze,
and ring from all the trees
sweet freedom's song;
let mortal tongues awake,
let all that breathe partake;
let rocks their silence break,
the sound prolong.
4 Our fathers' God, to thee,
Author of liberty,
to thee we sing:
long may our land be bright
with freedom's holy light;
protect us by thy might,
great God, our King!

Your heritage above;
Shall have it back, unbought,

Your liberty receive;
And safe in Jesus dwell,
And blest in Jesus live:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.
5 The gospel trumpet hear,
The news of pard'ning grace:
Ye happy souls, draw near,
Before your Saviour's face:
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.
6 Jesus our great high priest,
Hath full atonement made:
Ye weary spirits rest:
Ye mournful souls be glad!
The year of jubilee is come;
Return, ye ransom'd sinners, home.

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night
Author: John Bowring Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 861 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 52:8 Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night,
what its signs of promise are.
Traveler, what a wondrous sight:
see that glory-beaming star.
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
news of joy or hope foretell?
Traveler, yes; it brings the day,
promised day of Israel.
2 Watchman, tell us of the night;
higher yet that star ascends.
Traveler, blessedness and light,
peace and truth its course portends.
Watchman, will its beams alone
gild the spot that gave them birth?
Traveler, ages are its own;
see, it bursts o’er all the earth.
3 Watchman, tell us of the night,
for the morning seems to dawn.
Traveler, shadows take their flight;
doubt and terror are withdrawn.
Watchman, you may go your way;
hasten to your quiet home.
Traveler, we rejoice today,
for Emmanuel has come!

the Lamb upon his throne:
hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
all music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing of him
who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King
through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Lord of life,

and rose victorious in the strife
for those he came to save.
His glories now we sing
who died and rose on high,
who died eternal life to bring,
and lives that death may die.
3 Crown him the Lord of peace,
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease,
absorbed in prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end;
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.
4 Crown him the Lord of love;
behold his hands and side,
rich wounds yet visible above
in beauty glorified.
All hail, Redeemer, hail!
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity. Topics: Jesus, the Lamb; Praise of God; Reign of Christ; Ascension and Exaltation Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
