God Has Spoken by His Prophets
Author: Georgte Wallace Briggs (1875-1959) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 54 hymnals Topics: Doctrines Spiritual Gifts Lyrics: 1 God has spoken by His prophets,
Spoken His unchanging Word,
Each from age to age proclaiming
God, the one, the righteous Lord.
Mid the world’s despair and turmoil,
One firm anchor holding fast;
God is King, His throne eternal,
God the first, and God the last.
2 God has spoken by Christ Jesus,
Christ, the everlasting Son,
Brightness of the Father’s glory,
With the Father ever one;
Spoken by the Word incarnate,
God of God, ere time began,
Light of light, to earth descending,
Man, revealing God to man.
3 God yet speaks by His own Spirit
Speaking to the hearts of men,
In the age-long Word expounding
God’s own message, now as then;
Through the rise and fall of nations
One sure faith yet standing fast,
God is King, His Word unchanging,
God the first, and God the last. Scripture: Hebrews 1:1-2 Used With Tune: TON-Y-BOTEL

Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 343 hymnals Topics: Doctrines Resurrection of the Saints Lyrics: 1 Day of judgement, day of wonders!
Hark the trumpet’s awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round!
How the summons
Will the sinner’s heart confound!
2 See the Lord in the glory nearing,
Clothed in majesty divine,
You who long for His appearing,
Then shall say, “This God is mine!”
Gracious Savior, Gracious Savior,
Own me in that day as Thine.
3 At His call the dead awaken,
Rise to life form earth and sea!
All the powers of nature shaken
By His looks prepare to flee.
Careless sinner, Careless sinner,
What will then become of thee?
4 But to those who have confessed
Loved and served the Lord below,
He will say, “Come near, ye blessed,
See the kingdom I bestow;
You forever, You forever
Shall my love and glory know.” Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER

And thus surround the throne.

Beautiful, beautiful Zion;
We’re marching upward to Zion,
The beautiful city of God.

Who never knew our God;
But children of the heav’nly King,
But children of the heav’nly King
May speak their joys abroad,
May speak their joys abroad. [Refrain]
3 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets
Before we reach the heav’nly fields,
Before we reach the heav’nly fields
Or walk the golden streets,
Or walk the golden streets. [Refrain]

And ev’ry tear be dry;
We’re marching thru Immanuel’s ground,

To fairer worlds on high,
To fairer worlds on high. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Come, we that love the Lord, And let our joys be known]

Glorious THings of Thee Are Spoken
Author: John Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,339 hymnals Topics: Doctrines Eternal Life First Line: Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
He whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for His own abode;
On the Rock of Ages founded,
What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s wall surrounded,
Thou mayest smile at all thy foes.
2 See the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear and want remove;
Who can faint when such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage?
Grace, which, like the Lord, the Giver,
Never fails from age to age.
3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear
For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near;
Blest inhabitants of Zion,
Washed in the Redeemer’s blood;
Jesus, whom their souls rely on,
Makes them kings and priests to God.
4 Savior, if of Zion’s city
I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,
I will glory in Thy name;
Fading is the worldling’s pleasure,
All his boasted pomp and show;
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion’s children know. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

With milk and honey blest,
Beneath thy contemplation
Sink heart and voice oppressed.

What holy joys are there;
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.

All jubilant with song,
And bright with many an angel,
And all the martyr throng.

The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are deck in glorious sheen.

And there, from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast;
And they who, with their Leader,
Have conquered in the fight,
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.

The home of God’s elect!
O sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!

To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with God the Father,
And Spirit, ever blest. Used With Tune: EWING

with the melody of peace. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Shall we gather at the river Where bright angel feet have trod]

In sparkling raiment bright,
The armies of the ransomed saints
Throng up the steeps of light.
‘Tis finished, all is finished,
Their fight with death and sin.
Fling open wide the golden gates,
And let the victors in.

Fills all the earth and sky!
The ringing of a thousand harps
Proclaims the triumph high.
O day for which creation
And all its tribes were made!
O joy, for all its former woes
A thousandfold repaid!
3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan’s happy shore!
What knitting severed friendship where
Death partings are no more!
Then eyes with joy shall sparkle,
That brimmed with tears of late;
Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.
4 Bring near Thy great salvation,
Thou Lamb for sinners slain,
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,
Then take Thy power and reign!
Appear, Desire of nations,
Thine exiles long for home;
Show in the heavens Thy promised sign;
Thou Prince and Savior come! Used With Tune: ALFORD
