O calm of hills above,
where Jesus knelt to share with thee
the silence of eternity,
interpreted by love,

the tender whisper of thy call,
as noiseless let thy blessing fall
as fell thy manna down,
as fell thy manna down.
5 Drop thy still dews of quietness,
till all our strivings cease;
take from our souls the strain and stress,
and let our ordered lives confess
the beauty of thy peace,
the beauty of thy peace.
6 Breathe through the heats of our desire
thy coolness and thy balm;
let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
speak through the earthquake, wind and fire,
O still small voice of calm!
O still small voice of calm!

Where the Author of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing,
In that heavenly kingdom shall be: (Chorus)
5 Ah! soul, are you here without comfort or rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your friend ere the shadows grow dark;
Oh, accept this sweet peace so sublime. (Chorus)

show how true believers live.

let us thus in God abide;

all the heights of holiness. Topics: Epiphany III Year A; Third Sunday Before Lent Year C; Proper 9 Year C; Proper 10 Year C; Proper 15 Year A; Proper 18 Year A; Proper 26 Year A; Peace and Justice; Unity Used With Tune: VIENNA

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1 First Line: Great God, the nations of the earth Lyrics: 1 Great God, the nations of the earth
Are by creation thine;
And in thy works by all beheld,
Thy radiant glories shine.
2 But, Lord, thy greater love has sent
Thy gospel to mankind,
Unveiling what rich stores of grace
Are treasur'd in thy mind.
3 Lord, when shall these glad tidings spread
The spacious earth around,
'Till ev'ry tribe and ev'ry soul
Shall hear the joyful sound:
4 O when shall Afric's sable sons
Enjoy the heav'nly word,
And vassals long enslav'd become
The freemen of the Lord?
5 When shall th' untutor'd heathen tribes,
A dark bewilder'd race,
Sit down at our Immanuel's feet,
And learn and feel his grace?
6 Haste, sov'reign mercy, and transform
Their cruelty to love;
Soften the tiger to a lamb,
The vulture to a dove!
7 Smile, Lord, on each divine attempt
To spread the gospel’s rays,
And build on sin’s demolish'd throne,
The temples of thy praise! Topics: Solemn Prayers, offered up for Jew, Gentile, and the Fulness of the Lost in Adam Text Sources: Rippon's Coll.

"Looking unto Jesus"
Author: John N. Darby Appears in 153 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:13 First Line: O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore! Lyrics: 1 O eyes that are weary, and hearts that are sore!
Look off unto Jesus, now sorrow no more!
The light of his countenance shineth so bright,
That here, as in heaven, there need be no night.
2 While looking to Jesus, my heart cannot fear;
I tremble no more when I see Jesus near;
I know that his presence my safeguard will be,
For, "Why are you troubled," he saith unto me.
3 Still looking to Jesus, oh, may I be found,
When Jordan's dark waters encompass me round;
They bear me away in his presence to be:
I see him still nearer whom always I see.
4 Then, then shall I know the full beauty and grace
Of Jesus, my Lord, when I stand face to face;
Shall know how his love went before me each day,
And wonder that ever my eyes turned away. Topics: Assurance Urged; Blindness; Christians Encouragements; Comfort; Courage Used With Tune: GOSHEN

Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 with repeat Appears in 79 hymnals Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 3:1 Lyrics: 1 Speed thy servants, Saviour, speed them;
Thou art Lord of winds and waves;
They were bound, but thou hast freed them;
Now they go to free the slaves:
Be thou with them,
'Tis thine arm alone that save.
Be thou with them,
'Tis thine arm alone that saves.
2 Friends, and home, and all forsaking,
Lord they go at thy command,
As their stay thy promise taking,
While they traverse sea and land:
O be with them;
Lead them safely by the hand.
O be with them;
Lead them safely by the hand.
3 When they reach the land of strangers,
And the prospect dark appears,
Nothing seen but toils and dangers,
Nothing felt but doubts and fears,
Be thou with them,
Hear their sighs and count their tears.
Be thou with them,
Hear their sighs and count their tears.
4 Where no fruit appears to cheer them,
And they seem to toil in vain,
Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them,
Then their sinking hopes sustain:
Thus supported,
Let their zeal revive again.
Thus supported,
Let their zeal revive again.
5 In the midst of opposition
Let them trust, O Lord, in thee;
When success attends their mission,
Let thy servants humbler be:
Never leave them
Till thy face in heav'n they see.
Never leave them
Till thy face in heav'n they see.
Amen. Topics: The Church Missions; Ministry Ordination; Missions; Missions Used With Tune: ZION
