We sing the glorious conquest

Author: John Ellerton, 1826-1893 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the glorious conquest before Damascus gate, when Saul, the church's spoiler, came breathing threats and hate; the ravening wolf rushed forward full early to the prey; but lo, the Shepherd met him, and bound him fast to-day. *2 O glory most excelling that smote across his path, O light that pierced and blinded the zealot in his wrath, O voice that spake within him the calm reproving word, O love that sought and held him the bondman of his Lord! 3 O wisdom, ordering all things in order strong and sweet, what nobler spoil was ever cast at the Victor's feet? What wiser master-builder e'er wrought at thine employ than he, till now so furious your building to destroy? 4 Lord, teach thy church the lesson, still in her darkest hour of weakness and of danger to trust thy hidden power: thy grace by ways mysterious the wrath of man can bind, and in thy boldest foeman thy chosen saint can find.

The Lord! How Tender Is His Love

Author: Erasmus Darwin Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord! how tender is His love, His justice how august; Hence all her fears my soul derives, There anchors all her trust. He showers the manna from above, To feed the barren waste; Or points with death the fiery hail, And famine waits the blast. 2 Crowns, realms, and worlds, His wrath incensed, Are dust beneath His tread: He blights the fair, unplumes the proud, And shakes the learnèd head. He bids distress forget to groan, The sick from anguish cease, In dungeons spreads His healing wing, And softly whispers peace. 3 His vengeance rides the rushing wind, Or tips the bolt with flame; His goodness breathes in every breeze, And warms in every beam. Lord! grant that still with grateful heart My years resigned may run; ’Tis Thine to give, or to resume, And may Thy will be done!

Arise, the kingdom is at hand, The King is drawing nigh; Arise with joy, thou faithful band, To meet the Lord most high! Look up, ye souls, weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far; Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the Morning Star! 2. Look up, ye drooping hearts, today, The King is very near; O cast your griefs and fears away, For, lo, your help is here! Hope on, ye broken hearts, at last The King comes in His might; He loved us in the ages past When we lay wrapped in night. 3. Look up, ye souls weighed down with care, The Sovereign is not far! Look up, faint hearts, from your despair, Behold the Morning Star! The Lord is with us now, who shall The sinking spirit feed With strength and comfort at its need To whom e’en death shall bow. 4. Hope, O ye broken hearts, at last! The King comes on in might, He loved us in the ages past When we sat wrapped in night; Now are our sorrows o’er, and fear And wrath to joy give place, Since God hath made us in His grace His children evermore. 5. O rich the gifts Thou bringest us, Thyself made poor and weak; O love beyond compare that thus Can foes and sinners seek! For this we raise a gladsome voice On high to Thee alone, And evermore with thanks rejoice Before Thy glorious throne. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE Text Sources: Sabbatische Seelenlust (Lüneburg: 1651)

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 825 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light, O balm of cure and sadness, Most beautiful, most bright, On thee the high and lowly Before th'eternal throne Sing "Holy, holy, holy," To the great Three in One. 2 On thee at the Creation The light first had its birth; On thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; On thee our Lord victorious The Spirit sent from heav'n, And thus, on thee, most glorious, A three-fold light was giv'n. 3. Thou art a cooling fountain In life's dry, dreary sand; From thee, like Nebo's mountain, We view our Promised Land; A day of sweet reflection, A day of holy love, A day of resurrection From earth to things above. 4 Today on weary nations The heavenly manna falls; To holy convocations The silver trumpet calls, Where Gospel-light is glowing With pure and radiant beams And living water flowing With soul-refreshing streams. 5 New graces ever gaining From this our day of rest, We reach the rest remaining To spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, To Father, and to Son; The Church her voice upraises To Thee, blest Three in One. Amen. Topics: Adoration Lord's Day Scripture: Psalm 118:24 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE
