Carry the Tidings

Author: W. J. Ilsley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Rise! ye people, who have heard Lyrics: 1 Rise! ye people, who have heard The Gospel’s joyful call— Ye on whom its sacred truths Like dews of Heaven fall. Rise and bear to distant homes, Scatter wide o’er hill and plain, Joyful news that Jesus comes To reign on earth again. 2 Rise! and in the might of Him Whose chosen ones ye be, Bid the story of His love Be known from sea to sea. Rise in majesty and strength, Go in consciousness of power, And the barren plains at length Shall bear bright Sharon’s flower. 3 On broad prairies stretching far, On hill and mountain side, And where swiftly running streams Thro’ fertile valleys glide. There the waiting people dwell, Hungry, starving souls they be, Longing for the fruit which fell From life’s exhaustless tree. 4 Take to them the bread of life, The living waters bear; Feed the hungry, cheer the faint, With them thy bounty share. Then when time shall be no more, And th’archangel trump shall sound, They shall stand on Canaan’s shore, Who life and peace have found. Used With Tune: AJMAN

None Is Like Jeshurun's God

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Appears in 31 hymnals First Line: None is like Jeshurun’s God Lyrics: 1 None is like Jeshurun’s God, So great, so strong, so high; Lo! He spreads His wings abroad, He rides upon the sky! Israel, His first born son, God, th’eternal God is thine, See Him in thy help come down, The excellence divine. 2 Thee the great Jehovah deigns To succor and defend; Thee th’eternal God sustains, Thy maker, and thy friend; Sinner, what hast thou to dread? Safe from all impending harms, God hath underneath thee spread His everlasting arms. 3 God is thine; disdain to fear The enemy within; God shall in thy flesh appear, And make an end to sin; God the man of sin shall slay, Fill thee with triumphant joy; God shall thrust him out, and say "Destroy them all, destroy." 4 All the struggle then is o’er, And wars and fightings cease; Israel then shall sin no more, But dwell in perfect peace; All his enemies are gone, Sin shall have in him no part, Israel now shall dwell alone With Jesus in his heart. 5 In a land of corn and wine His lot shall be below; Comforts there, and blessings join, And milk and honey flow; Jacob’s well is in his soul, Gracious dew his heavens distill, Fill his soul already full, And shall forever fill. 6 Blest, O Israel, art thou, What people is like thee? Saved from sin by Jesus now, Thou art and still shalt be. Jesus is thy seven-fold shield, Jesus is thy flaming sword; Earth and hell and sin shall yield To God’s almighty Word. 7 God’s almighty Word shall stand, Thine enemies shall fall, Fade away at His command, And sink and perish all; Liars shall they all be found, All who cried, "It cannot be! Sin must always keep its ground Must always dwell in thee." 8 Christ shall make Thee free indeed, When He appears within; Thou on self and pride shalt tread, On all the strength of sin; Thou shalt more than conquer it, Thou shalt see it all depart, See it dead beneath thy feet, No longer in thy heart. 9 God, the gracious God and true, Hath spoke the faithful Word; He the mighty work shall do, Our trust is in the Lord: He the mountain shall remove, He the sinner shall restore; He shall me perfect in love, And I shall sin no more.
