How sweetly flowed the gospel sound

Author: Bowring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 358 hymnals Topics: Invitation Home Lyrics: 1 How sweetly flowed the gospel sound From lips of gentleness and grace, When listening thousands gathered round, And joy and gladness filled the place! 2 From heaven he came, of heaven he spoke, To heaven he led his followers' way; Dark clouds of gloomy night he broke, Unveiling an immortal day. 3 Come, wanderers, to my Father's home; Come, all ye weary ones, and rest: Yes, sacred Teacher, we will come, Obey thee, love thee, and be blest! 4 Decay then, tenements of dust; Pillars of earthly pride, decay: A nobler mansion waits the just, And Jesus has prepared the way. Scripture: Matthew 11:28-30

Our mountain home so dear, Where crystal waters clear Flow ever free, Flow ever free, While thru the valleys wide The flow’rs on ev’ry side, Blooming in stately pride, Are fair to see. 2. We’ll roam the verdant hills And by the sparkling rills Pluck the wildflow’rs, Pluck the wildflow’rs; The fragrance on the air, The landscape bright and fair, And sunshine ev’rywhere Make pleasant hours. 3. In sylvan depth and shade, In forest and in glade, Where-e’er we pass, Where-e’er we pass, The hand of God we see In leaf and bud and tree, Or bird or humming bee, Or blade of grass. 4. The streamlet, flow’r, and sod Bespeak the works of God; And all combine, And all combine, With most transporting grace, His handiwork to trace, Thru nature’s smiling face, In art divine. Used With Tune: [Our mountain home so dear]

Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old

Author: Edward Hayes Plumptre Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 181 hymnals Topics: The Church Home and Inner Missions Lyrics: 1 Thine arm, O Lord, in days of old Was strong to heal and save; It triumphed o'er disease and death, O'er darkness and the grave; To Thee they went, the blind, the deaf, The palsied and the lame, The leper with his tainted life, The sick with fevered frame. 2 And lo, Thy touch brought life and health, Gave speech, and strength, and sight; And youth renewed and frenzy calmed Owned Thee, the Lord of light. And now, O Lord, be near to bless, Almighty as of yore, In crowded street, by restless couch, As by Gennesaret's shore. 3 Be Thou our great Deliverer still, Thou Lord of life and death; Restore and quicken, soothe and bless, With Thine almighty breath. To hands that work and eyes that see Give wisdom's heavenly lore, That whole and sick, and weak and strong, May praise Thee evermore. Amen. Used With Tune: ECCLESIA

Winter Reigns o'er Many a Region

Author: Leonhard Meisser Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Missions Home Lyrics: 1 Winter reigns o’er many a region, Many a seed-field fallow lies; When, O Lord, shall come the springtime, With its quick'ning energies? When shall this long night be ended? When the morning dawn appear? When shall drought give place to freshness? When these deserts bloom with cheer? 2 Lord, Thy Church is ever praying: Now her anxious yearnings hear; Speed the triumphs of Thy Kingdom; Spread its vict'ries far and near. Own the work, Thy grace attend it, Which we undertake for Thee; Let a holy love inflame us; Kindle zeal and fervency. 3 That Thy fields be rightly cultured, Send the laborers that we need, Men to light the heavy darkness, Sow the wastes with precious seed. Then send down the gentle showers, Make Thy gracious sunlight shine, That each field may joy with blessing, Bringing forth the fruits divine. 4 By the breezes of Thy Spirit, Fan all deadness into life; Bless the seeds to Thee upspringing, Keep each plant from blast and strife. And, ye toilers in this seeding, Know the promise God hath given: Glorious crowns await the faithful, And eternal gains in heaven. Amen. Used With Tune: THEODORET
