When Zion's bondage God turned back
You now must hear my voice no more
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 You now must hear my voice no more;
my Father calls me home;
but soon from heav’n the Holy Ghost,
your Comforter, shall come.
2 That heav’nly Teacher, sent from God,
shall your whole soul inspire;
your minds shall fill with sacred truth,
your hearts with sacred fire.
3 Peace is the gift I leave with you;
my peace to you bequeath;
peace that shall comfort you through life,
and cheer your souls in death.
4 I give not as the world bestows,
with promise false and vain;
Nor cares, nor fears, shall wound the heart
in which my words remain.
Scripture: John 14:25-28 Used With Tune: ST ANDREW
You now must hear my voice no more
Though perfect eloquence adorn'd
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Though perfect eloquence adorn'd
my sweet persuading tongue,
though I could speak in higher strains
than ever angel sung;
2 though prophecy my soul inspir'd,
and made all myst’ries plain:
yet, were I void of Christian love,
these gifts were all in vain.
3 Nay, though my faith with boundless pow’r
ev’n mountains could remove,
I still am nothing, if I’m void
of charity and love.
4 Although with lib’ral hand I gave
my goods the poor to feed,
nay, gave my body to the flames,
still fruitless were the deed.
5 Love suffers long; love envies not;
but love is ever kind;
she never boasteth of herself,
nor proudly lifts the mind.
6 Love harbours no suspicious thought,
is patient to the bad;
griev'd when she hears of sins and crimes,
and in the truth is glad.
7 Love no unseemly carriage shows,
nor selfishly confin'd;
she glows with social tenderness,
and feels for all mankind.
8 Love beareth much, much she believes,
and still she hopes the best;
love meekly suffers many a wrong,
though sore with hardship press'd.
9 Love still shall hold an endless reign
in earth and heav’n above,
when tongues shall cease, and prophets fail,
and ev’ry gift but love.
10 Here all our gifts imperfect are;
but better days draw nigh,
when perfect light shall pour its rays,
and all those shadows fly.
11 Like children here we speak and think,
amus'd with childish toys;
but when our pow’rs their manhood reach,
we’ll scorn our present joys.
12 Now dark and dim, as through a glass,
are God and truth beheld;
then shall we see as face to face,
and God shall be unvail'd.
13 Faith, Hope, and Love, now dwell on earth,
and earth by them is blest;
but Faith and Hope must yield to Love,
of all the graces best.
14 Hope shall to full fruition rise,
and Faith be sight above:
these are the means, but this the end;
for saints for ever love. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13 Used With Tune: ST ANDREW

Like Zion's Steadfast Mount Are They
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Like Zion’s steadfast mount are they
Who in the Lord confide;
Secure, immovable they stand,
Forever to abide.
2. As round about Jerusalem
The mountains give defense,
Jehovah is His people’s guard,
Their lasting confidence.
3. No tyrant’s scepter o’er the good
Shall undisturbed abide,
Lest righteous men, oppressed by wrong,
To evil turn aside.
4. O Thou Jehovah, to the good
Thy goodness now impart,
Thy lovingkindness show to them
That upright are in heart.
5. All those that turn from righteousness
With wayward, wand’ring feet,
With sinners God will lead them forth,
The sinner’s doom to meet.
6. O Thou who art Thy people’s shield,
Their helper and their guide,
Upon them let Thy grace and peace
Forevermore abide. Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW (Tans'ur) Text Sources: From The Psalter (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: The United Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1912, number 354

The Savior died, but rose again
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Saviour died, but rose again
triumphant from the grave;
and pleads our cause at God's right hand,
omnipotent to save.
2 Who then can e'er divide us more
from Jesus and his love,
or break the sacred chain that binds
the earth to heaven above?
3 Let troubles rise, and terrors frown,
and days of darkness fall;
through him all dangers we'll defy,
and more than conquer all.
4 Nor death nor life, nor earth nor hell,
nor time's destroying sway,
can e'er efface us from his heart,
or make his love decay.
5 Each future period that will bless,
as it has blessed the past:
he loved us from the first of time,
he loves us to the last. Topics: Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; The Church Celebrates Death and Grieving; Courage; Jesus Resurrection Scripture: Romans 8:34-39 Used With Tune: ST. ANDREW (TANS'UR) Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781
