O Thou Who Once In Galilee

Author: Anna Hoppe Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou who once in Galilee Didst make the deaf to hear, The mute to speak, the blind to see, Blest Son of God, be near. 2 O deign to hear the silent prayer Of Thine afflicted own; Yea, bid them cast on Thee all care, Thy grace to them make known. 3 The speechless tongue, the lifeless ear Thou canst restore, O Lord; Thine Ephphatha, O Savior dear, Can instant help afford. 4 But if it be the Father's will That they should suffer loss, O lend them grace with patience still To bear a painful cross. 5 Meanwhile to them the listening ear Of faith in Thee impart, And let Thy Word bring light and cheer To every troubled heart. 6 Some day in yonder happy land, Each loss will prove a gain, All mysteries we'll understand, For Thou wilt make them plain.

Behold! The Ambassador Divine

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Behold! the Ambassador divine, Descending from above, To publish to mankind the law Of everlasting love. 2 On Him, in rich effusion poured, The heav’nly dew descends; And truth divine He shall reveal To earth’s remotest ends. 3 No trumpet sound, at His approach, Shall strike the wondering ears; But still and gentle breathe the voice In which the God appears. 4 By His kind hand the shaken reed Shall raise its falling frame; The dying embers shall revive, And kindle to a flame. 5 The onward progress of His zeal Shall never know decline, Till foreign lands and distant isles Receive the law divine. 6 He who spread forth the arch of heav’n, And bade the planets roll, Who laid the basis of the earth, And formed the human soul— 7 Thus saith the Lord, “Thee have I sent, A prophet from the sky, Wide o’er the nations to proclaim The message from on high. 8 “Before Thy face the shades of death Shall take to sudden flight; The people who in darkness dwell Shall hail a glorious light; 9 “The gates of brass shall ’sunder burst, The iron fetters fall; The promised jubilee of Heav’n Appointed rise o’er all. 10 “And lo! presaging Thy approach, The heathen temple shake, And trembling in forsaken fanes, The fabled idols quake. 11 I am Jehovah: I am One: My name shall now be known; No idol shall usurp My praise, Nor mount into My throne. 12 Lo, former scenes, predicted once, Conspicuous rise to view; And future scenes, predicted now, Shall be accomplished, too. 13 Now sing a new song to the Lord! Let earth His praise resound; Ye who upon the ocean dwell, And fill the isles around. 14 O city of the Lord! begin The universal song; And let the scattered villages The joyful notes prolong. 15 Let Kedar’s wilderness afar Lift up the lonely voice; And let the tenants of the rock With accent rude rejoice. 16 O from the streams of distant lands Unto Jehovah sing! And joyful from the mountain tops Shout to the Lord the King! 17 Let all combined with one accord Jehovah’s glories raise, Till in remotest bounds of earth The nations sound His praise.
