O be joyful, every nation

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: O be joyful, every nation! Hail the day with sacred mirth, When the trumpet of salvation Sounds the jubilee of earth, And creation Travails with the world's new birth. Then the north, in darkness shrouded, Jacob's rising star shall bless; And the eastern morn, unclouded, Bring the sun of righteousness, Cheering, healing, Sin-sick souls in heart's distress. 281 Then her swarthy sons and daughters, Afric to the Cross shall bring; And the angel of the waters Hear His coral islands sing, "Hallelujah!" Till the whole Pacific ring. O thou everlasting Father, Give the kingdoms to Thy Son; He hath died that He might gather All God's children into one; For the travail Of His soul, let this be done! Yea, it must be:--Thou hast spoken, And Thy covenant shall last; Though the arch of heaven were broken, And the earth's foundations cast Down the abysses; Yet Thy word, O God! stands fast. On Thy holy hill of Zion, Hast Thou not ordained His seat? Now, as Judah's conquering lion, Lay all foes beneath His feet, Till His armies In eternal triumph meet. We have join'd their marching legions, Where our fathers fought, we fight; Slavery's cane-lands, Brama's regions, Are exulting at the sight; Freedom, freedom, Comes with Gospel-life and light. 282 All the languages of Babel, Weapons for the warfare yield; And with these we well are able, By Thy Spirit's might, to wield In the battle, Truth's safe guard, and Faith's strong shield. Thus, through fifty years victorious, Thou hast led our brethren on; Arm them now for deeds more glorious, Till the latest field is won: And all people Bow the knee, and kiss the Son.

“Far Better.”

Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Many dear ones are departed Lyrics: Many dear ones are departed To the grave’s dark silent land: I shall soon receive the summons There to lie amid the band; Where they hear not Any more sad earth’s complaints. Blest are they who have expired In the Lord, supremely blest! In the port so oft desired They for ever safely rest. How much better, There to sing than sigh with us!

In the Vineyard of Our Father

Author: Thomas MacKellar Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the vineyard of our Father Daily work we find to do; Scattered gleanings we may gather, Though we are but weak and few; Little clusters Help to fill the basket too. 2 Toiling early in the morning, Catching moments through the day, Nothing small or lowly scorning, While we work, and watch, and pray; Gathering gladly Free-will offerings by the way. 3 Not for selfish praise or glory, Not for objects nothing worth, But to send the blessèd story Of the Gospel o'er the earth, Telling mortals Of our Lord and Saviour's birth. 4 Up and ever at our calling, Till in death our lips are dumb, Or till sin's dominion falling, Christ shall in His kingdom come, And His children Reach their everlasting home. 5 Steadfast, then, in our endeavor, Heavenly Father, may we be; And forever, and forever, We will give the praise to Thee; Alleluia! Singing all eternity. Hymnal: according to the use of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America, 1871
