O day of radiant gladness
The Wise May Bring Their Learning
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The wise may bring their learning,
The rich may bring their wealth,
And some may bring their brilliance,
And some bring strength and health;
We too, would bring our treasures
To offer to the King;
We have no gifts deserving:
What shall we children bring?
2 We'll bring Him hearts that love Him;
We'll bring Him thankful praise,
And young souls meekly striving
To walk in holy ways:
And these shall be our treasures
We offer to the King,
And these are gifts that even
The youngest child may bring.
3 We'll come and show the Savior
The things we do each day;
We'll try our best to please Him
At home, at school or play:
And better are these treasures
To offer to our King,
Than richest gifts without them:
Yet these a child may bring. Topics: Offering; Stewardship; Service Scripture: Acts 3:6 Used With Tune: FOREST GREEN Text Sources: The Book of Praise for Children

O God, Our Hearts Were Shattered
Hosanna, Loud Hosanna
Author: Jennette Threlfall Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 161 hymnals First Line: Hosanna, loud hosanna, The little children sang Lyrics: 1 Hosanna, loud hosanna
the little children sang;
through pillared court and temple
the lovely anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them,
close folded to his breast,
the children sang their praises,
the simplest and the best.
2 From Olivet they followed
mid an exultant crowd,
the victory palm branch waving,
and chanting clear and loud.
The Lord of earth and heaven
rode on in lowly state,
nor scorned that little children
should on his bidding wait.
3 "Hosanna in the highest!"
That ancient song we sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer,
the Lord of heaven, our King.
O may we ever praise him
with heart and life and voice,
and in his blissful presence
eternally rejoice.

Lead On, O King Eternal
Author: Ernest W. Shurtleff Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 407 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lead on, O King eternal,
the day of march has come;
henceforth in fields of conquest
thy tents shall be our home.
Through days of preparation
thy grace has made us strong;
and now, O King eternal,
we lift our battle song.
2. Lead on, O King eternal,
till sin's fierce war shall cease,
and holiness shall whisper
the sweet amen of peace.
For not with swords loud clashing,
nor roll of stirring drums;
with deeds of love and mercy
the heavenly kingdom comes.
3. Lead on, O King eternal,
we follow, not with fears,
for gladness breaks like morning
where'er thy face appears.
Thy cross is lifted o'er us,
we journey in its light;
the crown awaits the conquest;
lead on, O God of might.

Lead On, O King Eternal
The Sands of Time Are Sinking
Author: Anne R. Cousin Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 323 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The sands of time are sinking,
the dawn of Heaven breaks;
The summer morn I’ve sighed for—
the fair, sweet morn awakes:
Dark, dark hath been the midnight,
but dayspring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
2. O Christ, He is the fountain,
the deep, sweet well of love!
The streams on earth I’ve tasted
more deep I’ll drink above:
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
3. Oh! Well it is forever,
Oh! well forevermore,
My nest hung in no forest
of all this death doomed shore:
Yea, let the vain world vanish,
as from the ship the strand,
While glory—glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
4. There the red rose of Sharon
unfolds its heartsome bloom
And fills the air of Heaven
with ravishing perfume:
Oh! To behold it blossom,
while by its fragrance fanned
Where glory—glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
5. The King there in His beauty,
without a veil is seen:
It were a well spent journey,
though seven deaths lay between:
The Lamb with His fair army,
doth on Mount Zion stand,
And glory—glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
6. Oft in yon sea beat prison
My Lord and I held tryst,
For Anwoth was not Heaven,
and preaching was not Christ:
And aye, my murkiest storm cloud
was by a rainbow spanned,
Caught from the glory dwelling
in Immanuel’s land.
7. But that He built a Heaven
of His surpassing love,
A little new Jerusalem,
like to the one above,
Lord take me over the water
hath been my loud demand,
Take me to my love’s own country,
unto Immanuel’s land.
8. But flowers need night’s cool darkness,
the moonlight and the dew;
So Christ, from one who loved it,
His shining oft withdrew:
And then, for cause of absence
my troubled soul I scanned
But glory shadeless shineth
in Immanuel’s land.
9. The little birds of Anwoth,
I used to count them blessed,
Now, beside happier altars
I go to build my nest:
Over these there broods no silence,
no graves around them stand,
For glory, deathless, dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
10. Fair Anwoth by the Solway,
to me thou still art dear,
Even from the verge of Heaven,
I drop for thee a tear.
Oh! If one soul from Anwoth
meet me at God’s right hand,
My heaven will be two heavens,
In Immanuel’s land.
11. I’ve wrestled on towards Heaven,
against storm and wind and tide,
Now, like a weary traveler
that leaneth on his guide,
Amid the shades of evening,
while sinks life’s lingering sand,
I hail the glory dawning
from Immanuel’s land.
12. Deep waters crossed life’s pathway,
the hedge of thorns was sharp;
Now, these lie all behind me
Oh! for a well tuned harp!
Oh! To join hallelujah
with yon triumphant band,
Who sing where glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
13. With mercy and with judgment
my web of time He wove,
And aye, the dews of sorrow were
lustered with His love;
I’ll bless the hand that guided,
I’ll bless the heart that planned
When throned where glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
14. Soon shall the cup of glory
wash down earth’s bitterest woes,
Soon shall the desert briar
break into Eden’s rose;
The curse shall change to blessing
the name on earth that’s banned
Be graven on the white stone
in Immanuel’s land.
15. O I am my Beloved’s
and my Beloved’s mine!
He brings a poor vile sinner
into His house of wine.
I stand upon His merit—
I know no other stand,
Not even where glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land.
16. I shall sleep sound in Jesus,
filled with His likeness rise,
To love and to adore Him,
to see Him with these eyes:
’Tween me and resurrection
but paradise doth stand;
Then—then for glory dwelling
in Immanuel’s land.
17. The bride eyes not her garment,
but her dear bridegroom’s face;
I will not gaze at glory
but on my king of grace.
Not at the crown He giveth
but on His piercèd hand;
The Lamb is all the glory
of Immanuel’s land.
18. I have borne scorn and hatred,
I have borne wrong and shame,
Earth’s proud ones have reproached me
for Christ’s thrice blessed name:
Where God His seal set fairest
they’ve stamped the foulest brand,
But judgment shines like noonday
in Immanuel’s land.
19. They’ve summoned me before them,
but there I may not come,
My Lord says Come up hither,
My Lord says Welcome home!
My king, at His white throne,
my presence doth command
Where glory—glory dwelleth
in Immanuel’s land. Used With Tune: RUTHERFORD Text Sources: The Christian Treasury, 1857

Lord of the Living Harvest
Author: John Samuel Bewley Monsell Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 119 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of the living harvest
That whitens o'er the plain,
Where angels soon shall gather
Their sheaves of golden grain,
Accept these hands to labor,
These hearts to trust and love,
And deign with them to hasten
Thy kingdom from above.
2 As lab'rers in Thy vineyard,
Still faithful may they be,
Content to bear the burden
Of weary days for Thee;
To ask no other wages,
When Thou shalt call them home,
But to have shared the travail
Which makes Thy kingdom come.
3 Come down, Thou Holy Spirit,
And fill their souls with light,
Clothe them in spotless raiment,
In vesture clean and white;
Within Thy sacred temple
Be with them where they stand,
To guide and teach Thy people
In this and every land.
4 Be with them, God the Father!
Be with them, God the Son!
And God the Holy Spirit!
Most blessèd Three in One!
Make them Thy chose heralds,
On them the Spirit pour,
And fill them with Thy fullness
Both now and evermore!

We Plow the Fields and Scatter
Author: Matthias Claudius, 1740-1815; Jane M Cambell, 1817-1878 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 462 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We plough the fields and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
2 He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey Him,
By Him the birds are fed;
Much more to us, His children,
He gives our daily bread.
3 We thank Thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food.
Accept the gifts we offer
For all Thy love imparts,
And, what Thou most desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts.
AMEN. Topics: Kingdomtide; Thanksgiving Used With Tune: ST ANSELM
