Amazing, beauteous change!
Hymnal: CHAL1814 #183 (1814) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Isaiah 42:18-19 Lyrics: 1 Amazing, beauteous change!
A world created new!
Our thoughts with transport range,
The lovely scene to view.
In all we trace,
Father divine,
The work is thine;
Be thine the praise!
2 See crystal fountains play
Amidst the burning sands!
The river's winding way
Shines through the thirsty lands!
New grass is seen,
And o'er the meads
Its carpet spreads
Of living green.
3 Where pointed brambles grew,
Entwin'd with horrid thorn,
Gay flower's, for ever new,
Th' enamell'd fields adorn.
The blushing rose,
And lily there,
In union fair
Their sweets disclose.
4 Where the bleak mountain stood,
All bare and disarray'd,
See the wide-branching wood,
Diffuse its grateful shade!
Tall cedars nod,
And oaks and pines,
And elms and vines
Confess the God.
5 The tyrants of the plain
their savage chase give o'er;
No more they rend the slain,
and thirst for blood no more;
But infant hands
Fierce tigers stroke,
And lions yoke
In flow'ry bands.
6 O when, almighty Lord,
Shall these glad scenes arise,
To verify thy word,
And bless our wond'ring eyes?
That earth may raise,
With all her tongues,
United songs
Of ardent praise. Languages: English
Amazing, beauteous change!
O Zion, tune thy voice
Hymnal: CHAL1814 #182 (1814) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Isaiah 60:1 Lyrics: 1 O Zion, tune thy voice,
And raise thy hands on high;
Tell all the earth thy joys,
And boast salvation nigh;
Cheerful in God,
Arise and shine,
While rays divine
Stream all abroad.
2 He gilds thy mourning face
With beams that cannot fade;
His all-resplendent grace
He sheds upon thy head;
The nations round
Thy form shall view,
With lustre new
Divinely crown'd.
3 In honour to His name
Reflect that sacred light;
And loud that grace proclaim,
Which makes thy darkness bright.
Pursue his praise,
till sov'reign love
In worlds above,
The glory raise.
4 There, on his holy hill,
A brighter sun shall rise,
And with His radiance fill
Those fairer, purer skies;
While round his throne
Ten thousand stars
In nobler spheres
His influence own. Topics: Kingdom and Church of Christ Languages: English
O Zion, tune thy voice
