Speak Not Harshly
Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Speak not harshly when reproving Lyrics: 1 Speak not harshly when reproving
Those from duty’s path who stray;
If we would reclaim the erring
Kindness must each action sway.
2 Speak not harshly to the wayward—
Win their confidence—their love;
They will feel how pure the motive
That hath led us to reprove.
3 Speak not harshly to the stranger,
Thou he come in humble guise;
Think how slight a thing would kindle
Gladness in a stranger’s eyes.
4 Speak not harshly to the felon,
Though like adamant his heart;
Touch one chord of fond affection,
And the scalding tear may start.
5 Speak not harshly to the orphan,
They have borne of grief their share;
Add not to their heavy burden,
Add not to corroding care.
6 Speak not harshly, was the precept
Which to man the Savior taught—
May that precept ever guide us—
Gentle words will cost us naught. Used With Tune: LYDIA Text Sources: Monterey, and Other Poems (New York: R. Craighead, 1851)

Praise His glorious majesty;
At His word they were created,
Ordered by His firm decree.

Seas and all that they contain,
Stormy winds that do His pleasure,
Hail and lightning, snow and rain.
4. Hills and mountains, praise your maker,
Praise Him, all ye flocks and herds,
Woods and fields and fruitful vineyards,
Creeping things and flying birds.
5. Kings and princes, bow before Him,
Earthly judges, give Him praise,
All ye people, tell His glory,
Old and young, your voices raise.

For His name alone is great;

Reigns the Lord in kingly state.

Therefore, all ye saints, give praise;

Thankful hallelujahs raise. Scripture: Psalm 148 Used With Tune: LYDIA (Stebbins)

Hasten, Lord, That Morn Of Glory
Author: John R. Macduff Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Hasten, Lord, that morn of glory,
When the world shall groan no more,
When the Gospel’s joyous story
Shall be spread from shore to shore.
2 Speed the glorious proclamation,
Let Messiah’s power increase;
Every tribe, and tongue, and nation,
Welcome in the Prince of Peace!
3 Wake your echoes, rocks of Kedar!
Midian! Ephah! own His grace!
Fir, and pine, and box, and cedar
Beautify His holy place!
4 Blessèd time, when every dwelling
Shall one joyful anthem raise;
Every heart with rapture swelling,
Thrilling every tongue with praise.
5 When the leopard and the lion,
With the lamb in peace shall lie,
And within the earthly Zion
Dwell the love that reigns on high.
6 Firmament, now glowing o’er us!
Mountains! rivers! isles! and sea!
All combine to swell the chorus
That will ring earth’s jubilee! Used With Tune: LYDIA Text Sources: Altar Stones, (London: James Nisbet, 1853)

Bear The Burden Of The Present
Author: Thomas MacKellar Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Bear the burden of the present,
Let the morrow bear its own;
If the morning sky be pleasant,
Why the coming night bemoan?
2 If the darkened heavens lower,
Wrap thy cloak around thy form;
Though the tempest rise in power,
God is mightier than the storm.
3 Steadfast faith and hope unshaken
Animate the trusting breast;
Step by step the journey’s taken
Nearer to the land of rest.
4 All unseen, the Master walketh
By the toiling servant’s side:
Comfort in the words He speaketh,
While His hands uphold and guide.
5 Grief, nor pain, nor any sorrow
Rends thy breast to Him unknown;
He today and He tomorrow
Grace sufficient gives His own.
6 Holy strivings nerve and strengthen,
Long endurance wins the crown:
When the evening shadows lengthen,
Thou shalt lay the burden down. Used With Tune: LYDIA Text Sources: Lines for the Gentle and Loving, 1853

One Bright Flower Has Drooped And Faded
Author: Robert C. Waterston Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 One bright flower has drooped and faded,
One sweet youthful voice has fled,
One fair brow the grave has shaded,
One dear school-mate now is dead.
2 We would feel no pang of sadness,
For our friend is happy now;
She has knelt in soul-felt gladness
Where the blessèd angels bow.
3 She has gone to Heaven before us,
But she turns and waves her hand,
Pointing to the glories o’er us,
In that happy spirit-land.
4 Lord, do Thou keep watch above us,
Keep us all from error free;
Let Thy Spirit guide and love us,
Till, like her, we go to Thee. Used With Tune: LYDIA Text Sources: Christian Hymns, American Unitarian Cheshire Pastoral Association, 1844
