The Powerful Word That Reared The Skies

Author: Daniel Turner Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16520 First Line: The powerful Word that reared the skies Lyrics: 1 The powerful Word that reared the skies, Calls thro’ the world, "Ye dead, arise"; The opening graves that Word obey, And death and hell resign their prey. 2 Sinners with horror and amaze, Feel wrath divine upon them seize; The saints with joyful looks appear, And forms and smiles celestial wear. 3 Grace in them now triumphant reigns, Freed from temptations, sins, and pains, As angels pure, as cherubs gay, Dressed in immortal light as they. 4 O could I say Jesus is mine, Hope thus to rise, and thus to shine! Death would no horrid aspect have, Nor darkness then begloom the grave. 5 In hopes of that illustrious day, That power and grace to change my clay; Cheerful I’d lay me down to rest, In that cold bed my Savior blest.

The Past Is Dark With Sin And Shame

Author: Thomas W. Higginson Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16610 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The past is dark with sin and shame, The future dim with doubt and fear; But, Father, yet we praise Thy name, Whose guardian love is always near. 2 For man has striven, ages long, With faltering steps to come to Thee, And in each purpose high and strong The influence of Thy grace could see. 3 He could not breathe an earnest prayer, But Thou wast kinder than he dreamed, As age by age brought hopes more fair, And nearer still Thy kingdom seemed. 4 But never rose within his breast A trust so calm and deep as now— Shall not the weary find a rest? Father, Preserver, answer Thou! 5 ’Tis dark around, ’tis dark above, But through the shadow streams the sun; We cannot doubt Thy certain love; And man’s true aim shall yet be won!

Praise waits in Zion, Lord, for thee

Hymnal: The Hymnal #3 (1956) Lyrics: 1 Praise waits in Zion, Lord for thee; Thy saints adore thy holy name; Thy creatures bend the obedient knee, And humbly thy protection claim. 2 Thy hand has raised us from the dust; The breath of life thy Spirit gave. Where bu in thee can mortals trust? Who but our god has power to save? 3 Here at the portal of thy house, We leave our mortal hopes and fears; Answer our prayers and bless our vows, Accept our praise and dry our tears. 4 So shall our sun of hope arise With brighter and still brighter ray, Till thou shalt bless our longing eyes With beams of everlasting day.

The Time is Nigh

Author: P. P. Pratt Hymnal: Latter-Day Saints Congregational Hymns #5 (1919) First Line: The time is nigh, the happy time Lyrics: 1. The time is nigh, the happy time, That great expected, blessed day, When countless thousands of our race Shall dwell with Christ, and Him obey. 2. The prophecies must be fulfilled, Though earth and hell should dare oppose; The stone out of the mountain cut, Though unobserved, a kingdom grows. 3. The blended image soon shall fall — Brass, silver, iron, gold and clay; And superstition's dreadful reign To light and liberty give way. 4. In one sweet symphony of praise, The Jews and Gentiles will unite; And infidelity o'ercome, Return again to endless night. 5. From east to west, from north to south, The Savior's kingdom shall extend, And ev'ry man in ev'ry place Shall meet a brother and a friend.
