Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 37 hymnals First Line: Ye sons of pride, that hate the just Lyrics: 1. Ye sons of pride, that hate the just And trample on the poor, When death has brought you down to dust, Your pomp shall rise no more. 2. The last great day shall change the scene; When will that hour appear? When shall the just revive and reign O’er all that scorned them here? 3. God will my naked soul receive When separate from the flesh; And break the prison of the grave, To raise my bones afresh. 4. Heaven is my everlasting home, The inheritance is sure: Let men of pride their rage resume, But I’ll repine no more. Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

O Day of Rest and Gladness

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 829 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

The Sword Of The Lord And Of Gideon

Author: Clara H. Thwaites Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Twelve thousand stand on Gilead Lyrics: 1 Twelve thousand stand on Gilead, Yea, twice twelve thousand say! They flocked at silver trumpet’s call, All men of Israel they. But faithful Gideon cried aloud, "If craven heart there be, Return, faint-hearted, to your tents, Not yours the victory!" 2 Ten thousand stand at Gilead! No craven hearts are these; But will they speed at duty’s call, Or love they slothful ease? In weariness, in watchings oft, The soldier’s lot must stand: Can these ten thousand hardness bear, And march at God’s command? 3 See! Harod’s sparkling waters Flow flashing thro’ the plain! The Lord will try His warriors Again and yet again. Down to the margin of the stream The thirsting soldiers press, Their parchèd lips approach the stream, The leaping torrent kiss. 4 Some yield to weariness and thirst, And, kneeling on the sod, Forget awhile the trumpet’s call, Their country and their God! Some only bend in manly grace With hand dipped in the ford, And martial stand, the sword in hand, To hearken Gideon’s word. 5 "By these, by these," cried Gideon, "The Lord shall Israel save; By proven men and chosen, Three hundred warriors brave; Lest Israel’s host should vaunt itself, And dream that that power and might, Or prudence of the wise and skilled, Had conquered in the fight." 6 Three hundred stand on Gilead, Obedient men—but lo! More than a hundred thousand In Midian’s tents below! What weapons for the warfare? A trumpet and a light! The shout of a king among them Ringing thro’ Midian’s night! 7 O Lord, arise! Thy warriors choose, As erst at Harod’s well, And prove them at the waters— Thy faithful Israel! Swift as the eagle may they bear Love’s embassy abroad! Send out Thy sons of valor To war, the wars of God! 8 They will not pause, those eager souls, Where pleasure’s waves glide by, Nor, heedless of the Master’s call, In easeful languor lie. They hear the call of nations, The Master’s high command, And pure resolve and zeal inspire The missionary band. 9 O flash the torch of truth athwart The gloom of heathen night! And cheer ye with a song of faith, And trumpet sound of might! The battle is not yours, but God’s; Ring out the battle cry! The sword of God and Gideon Shall bring the victory!
