When Israel thro' the desert passed

Author: Benjamin Beddome Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Israel thro' the desert passed, A fiery pillar went before, To guide them thro' the dreary waste, And lessen the fatigues they bore. 2 Such is Thy glorious Word, O God! 'Tis for our light and guidance giv'n; It sheds its lustre all abroad And points the path to bliss and heav'n. 3 It fills the soul with sweet delight, And quickens its inactive powers; It sets our wand'ring footsteps right, Displays Thy love, and kindles ours. 4 Its promises rejoice our hearts, Its doctrines are divinely true; While highest wisdom it imparts, It comforts and instructs us too. 5 Ye favored lands that have this word, Ye saints who feel its saving power, Unite your tongues to praise the Lord And His redeeming grace adore!

When Jordan hushed his waters still

Author: Thomas Campbell Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jordan hushed his waters still, And silence slept on Zion's hill; When Salem's shepherds through the night Watched o'er their flocks by starry light; 2 Hark! from the midnight hills around, A voice of more than mortal sound In distant hallelujahs stole, Like music o'er the raptured soul. 3 On wheels of light, on wings of flame, The glorious hosts of Zion came; High heaven with songs of triumph rung, While angels struck their harps and sung.

O my soul, and hail the morn; For unto us a Saviour's born: See how the angels wing their way To usher in the glorious day! 2 Hark! what sweet music! what a song Sounds from the bright, celestial throng! Sweet song, whose melting strains impart Joy to each raptured, listening heart. 3 Come, join the angels as they cry, "Glory to God who reigns on high; Let peace and love on earth abound, While spheres revolve and years roll round."

Before the heavens were spread abroad

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 43 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Before the heavens were spread abroad, From everlasting was the Word; With God he was, the Word was God! And must divinely be adored. 2 Ere sin was born, or Satan fell, He led the host of morning stars; His generation who can tell, Or count the number of his years? 3 But lo! he leaves those heavenly forms; The Word descends and dwells in clay, That he may converse hold with worms, Dressed in such feeble flesh as they. 4 The angels leave their high abode, To learn new mysteries here, and tell The love of our descending God, The glories of Immanuel.
