A Song Of The Dawning

Author: William P. McKenzie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Lo, an army is advancing Lyrics: 1 Lo, an army is advancing, Not with beat of throbbing drum, Not with banners proudly waving Do the happy myriads come, But their hearts a-throb with loving, Eyes with love that shine sincere, And they sing aloud in anthem That the rule of peace is here, Swords are beaten into plough shares, Into pruning hooks the spear. 2 Even now the light-spires dazzle And the note of hope is heard, Man is learning God’s new language, Building letters to a word; And the councils men have darkened Come like jewels flashing bright As he trusts the voice within him, And the Spirit gives him sight; And the promise nears fulfillment, That the world shall see the light. 3 Ye who hold each man a brother, For the brother love of Christ, Who with clear eyed purity do Keep in heart a daily tryst, Let me grasp the hand fraternal, One in love and service we, Now, as in a mirror darkly, Face to face we yet shall see. Fellow workers with the Father, Let us fellow helpers be! Used With Tune: DAKAR Text Sources: Truth in Song (Chicago: Clara H. Scott, 1896)

Lift Up Thine Eyes, O Watchman

Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lift up thine eyes, O watchman, the armies of the Lord Are riding forth to conquest with buckler, shield and sword; Glad tidings unto Zion, that valiant host shall ring, And shout aloud, Hosanna! The Lord, the Lord is king; And shout aloud, Hosanna! The Lord, the Lord is king. 2. What dost thou see, O watchman? What dost thou see afar? The gleaming of a banner, the rising of a star. Then cry aloud, O watchman, with trumpet voice proclaim, To all a full salvation, through Christ, the Savior’s name, To all a full salvation, through Christ, the Savior’s name. 3. That radiant banner gleaming, that Star divinely bright, Shall bear to every nation the blessèd Gospel light; All kingdoms, crowns, and scepters, before the cross shall fall, And Christ shall reign triumphant, the king and Lord of all; And Christ shall reign triumphant, the king and Lord of all.

Refrain: More and more the weight of glory, More and more the love of God; More of music in the story, As we sing of Christ the Lord; More of music in the story, As we sing of Christ the Lord. 2 Lessons learned through pain and sorrow, Break the ground for precious seed; Seed that buds and comes to blossom, Only in the hearts that bleed. [Refrain] 3 O’er the fields where once were battles, Now the fairest flowers are found; So the souls that here have conflicts, More and more in grace abound. [Refrain] 4 Looking on to things eternal, Let us daily die to sin; To the end, by grace enduring, We the glory grand may win.
