Zion, By Her God Forsaken

Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Zion, by her God forsaken, Sits a mourner on the ground; By the foe her walls are taken, Desolation reigns around; Can no succor, No deliverance be found? 2 Where is now that pomp and splendor Which arrayed her regal head? Where is every brave defender, Who once filled her foes with dread? Where the glory Which the Lord around her spread? 3 Is there none to shield from dangers Judah’s long neglected race? None to check the feet of strangers, Which defile her holy place? None to pity, And wipe off her deep disgrace? 4 Yes, the Lord will reassemble Zion’s sons, though far dispersed; Then shall her oppressors tremble, When her sentence is reversed; God will make her Glorious as she was at first. 5 Look on Zion, Lord, and save her Now from the devouring sword; Now to Thy accustomed favor, Let her children be restored, And obey Thee As their kind and rightful Lord.

Behold, 'tis Jesus Holds the helm and guides the ship: Spread the sails, and catch the breezes Sent to waft us through the deep; To the regions Where the mourners cease to weep. 2 Though the shore we hope to land on Only by report is known, Yet we freely all abandon, Led by that report alone; And with Jesus Through the trackless deep move on. 3 Led by that, we brave the ocean; Led by that, the storms defy; Calm amidst tumultuous motion, Knowing that our Lord in nigh: Waves obey Him, And the storms before Him fly. 4 O what pleasures there await us: There the tempests cease to rear; There it is that those who hate us Can molest our peace no more; Trouble ceases On that tranquil happy shore.

God, Our Hope And Strength Abiding

Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, our hope and strength abiding, Soothes our dread, exceeding nigh; Fear we not the world subsiding, Roots of mountains heaving high, Darkly heaving, Where in ocean’s heart they lie. 2 Let them roar, His awful surges; Let them boil—each dark-browed hill Tremble, where the proud wave urges: Here is yet one quiet rill; Her calm waters, Zion’s joy, flow clear and still. 3 Joy of God’s abode, the station Where the Eternal fixed His tent: God is there a strong salvation; On her place she towers unbent. God will aid her Ere the stars of morn be spent. 4 Heathens rage, dominions tremble, God spake out, earth melts away: God is where our hosts assemble, Jacob’s God, our rock and stay. Come, behold Him O’er the wide earth wars allay. 5 Come, behold God’s work of wonder, Scaring, wasting earth below; How He knapped the spear in sunder, How He broke the warrior’s bow. Wild war chariots Burn before Him, quenched as tow. 6 "Silence—for the Almighty know Me; O’er the heathen throned am I, Throned where earth must crouch below Me"— Lord of Hosts, we know Thee nigh: God of Jacob, Thou art still our rock on high.
