Turn Back, O Man, Forswear Thy Foolish Ways
Author: Clifford Bax Meter: 10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 62 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth, The World Friendship and Peace Lyrics: 1 Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways.
Old now is earth, and none may count her days,
Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame,
Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim—
"Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways."
2 Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise.
Age after age their tragic empires rise,
Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep:
Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep,
Earth might be fair and all men glad and wise.
3 Earth shall be fair, and all her people one:
Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done.
Now, even now, once more from earth to sky,
Peals forth in joy man's old, undaunted cry—
"Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!"
Amen. Scripture: Ezekiel 18:31 Used With Tune: OLD 124TH

The passing ages pray;
And faithful souls have yearned to see
On earth that Kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
Not less to God belong;
And for the everlasting right
The silent stars are strong.
3 And lo! already on the hills
The flags of dawn appear;
Gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
Proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
All wrong shall stand revealed;
When justice shall be clothed with might,
And every hurt be healed.
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad;
The day of perfect righteousness,
The promised day of God.
Amen. Used With Tune: CHESTERFIELD

Tread where His feet have trod;
As brothers of the Son of Man,
Rise up, O men of God!
Amen. Used With Tune: FESTAL SONG

On the Mountain's Top Appearing
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 602 hymnals Topics: Kingdom of God on Earth Missions Lyrics: 1 On the mountain's top appearing,
Lo, the sacred herald stands.
Welcome news to Zion bearing,
Zion, long in hostile lands:
Mourning captive,
God Himself will loose thy bands;
Mourning captive,
God Himself will loose thy bands.
2 Has thy night been long and mournful?
Have thy friends unfaithful proved?
Have thy foes been proud and scornful,
By thy sighs and tears unmoved?
Cease thy mourning;
Zion still is well beloved;
Cease thy mourning:
Zion still is well beloved.
3 God, thy God, will now restore thee;
He Himself appears thy Friend;
All thy foes shall flee before thee;
Here their boasts and triumphs end;
Great deliverance
Zion's King will surely send;
Great deliverance
Zion's King will surely send.
4 Enemies no more shall trouble,
All thy wrongs shall be redressed;
For thy shame thou shalt have double:
In thy Maker's favor blessed;
All thy conflicts
End in everlasting rest;
All thy conflicts
End in everlasting rest. Scripture: Job 12:10 Used With Tune: ZION

Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command
Author: Laura S. Copenhaver Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 52 hymnals Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions Lyrics: 1 Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's commands,
Immortal tidings in your mortal hands,
Pass on and carry swift the news ye bring:
Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.
2 Through desert ways, dark fen, and deep morass,
Through jungles, sluggish seas, and mountain pass,
Build ye the road, and falter not, nor stay;
Prepare across the earth the King's highway.
3 Where once the crooked trail in darkness wound
Let marching feet and joyous song resound,
Where burn the funeral pyres, and censers swing,
Make straight, make straight the highway of the King.
4 Lord, give us faith and strength the road to build,
To see the promise of the day fulfilled,
When war shall be no more and strife shall cease
Upon the highway of the Prince of Peace.
Amen. Used With Tune: NATIONAL HYMN
Heralds of Christ, who bear the King's command
