Ascension Blessings

Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Nations Owe Allegiance to Christ; Nations Ultimate Subjection of First Line: O Lord, Thou hast ascended Lyrics: 1 O Lord, Thou hast ascended On high in might to reign; Captivity Thou leadest A captive in Thy train. Rich gifts to Thee are offered By men who did rebel, Who pray that now Jehovah their God with them may dwell. 2 Blest be the Lord Who daily Our heavy burden bears, The God of our salvation Who for His people cares. Our God is near to help us, Our God is strong to save; The Lord alone is able To ransom from the grave. 3 Sing unto God, ye nations, Ye kingdoms of the earth; Sing unto God, all people, And praise His matchless worth. He rides in royal triumph Upon the heav'ns abroad; He speaks, the mountains tremble Before the voice of God. 4 All glory, might, and honor Ascribe to God on high; His arm protects His people Who on His pow'r rely. Forth from Thy holy dwelling Thy awful glories shine; Thou strengthenest Thy people; Unending praise be Thine. Scripture: Psalm 68 Used With Tune: MISSIONARY HYMN

Nature hath seasons of repose

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Christian Nation Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 Nature hath seasons of repose; Her slumbering clouds and quiet sky; And many a bright-faced stream that flows Onward for ever noiselessly. 2 The stormy winds are hushed to rest, And hang self-poised upon their wings; And, nursed on mother nature's breast, Sweet flowers lie like sleeping things. 3 The ocean, that in mountains ran, Spreads boundlessly without a wave; And is it only said of man, His peace is in the gloomy grave? 4 Oh, for the coming of the end, The last long Sabbath-day of time, When peace from heaven shall descend Like heaven's own light, on every clime. 5 When men in ships far off at sea Shall hear the happy nations raise The song of peace and liberty, The chant of overflowing praise. 6 Mankind shall be one brotherhood; One human soul shall fill the earth; And God shall say, The world is good, As in the day I gave it birth.
