We rear not a temple, like Judah's of old

Author: Henry Ware Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We rear not a temple, like Judah's of old, Whose portals were marble, whose vaultings were gold; No incense is lighted, no victims are slain, No monarch kneels praying to hallow the fane. 2 More simple and lowly the walls that we raise, And humbler the pomp of procession and praise, Where the heart is the altar whence incense shall roll, And Messiah the King who shall plead for the soul. 3 O Father, come in! but not in the cloud Which filled the bright courts where thy chosen ones bowed; But come in that Spirit of glory and grace Which beams on the soul and illumines the race. 4 O come in the power of thy life-giving word, And reveal to each heart its Redeemer and Lord, Till faith bring the peace to the penitent given, And love fill the air with the fragrance of heaven.

The Night Is Now Far Spent

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The night is now far spent And day comes on apace; The veil will soon be rent, That hides the Savior’s face; The clouds that now obstruct our sight Will all be quickly put to flight. 2 Ye saints, lift up your heads, Salvation draweth nigh; See where the morning spreads Its radiance through the sky; Oh, let the sight your spirits cheer; The Lord Himself will soon appear. 3 Though men your hope deride, Nor will themselves believe; Yet in His word confide, Who never can deceive; When Heav’n and earth shall pass away, The saints shall see a glorious day. 4 For you the Lord intends A bright abode on high; The place where sorrow ends, And naught is known but joy; With such a hope, ye saints, rejoice; We soon shall hear th’ archangel’s voice.

Praise ye, praise ye the Lord in yonder heav’nly height; Ye angels, all His hosts, in joyful praise unite; O sun and moon, declare His might, Show forth His praise, ye stars of light. 2. Praise Him, ye highest heav’ns, praise Him, ye clouds that roll, Created by His pow’r and under His control, Ye heav’ns that stand eternally, Established by His firm decree. 3. Ye creatures in the sea and creatures on the earth, Your mighty maker praise and tell His matchless worth; Praise Him, ye stormy winds that blow, Ye fire and hail, ye rain and snow. 4. Ye hills and mountains, praise, each tree and beast and bird; Ye kings and realms of earth, now let your praise be heard; By high and low, by young and old Be all His praise and glory told. 5. By all let God be praised, for He alone is great; Above the earth and Heav’n He reigns in glorious state; Praise Him ye saints, who know His grace And ever dwell before His face.

Our Forebears Lived by Faith

Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Our forebears lived by faith, set free from self and sin, by faith drove demons out, by faith drew outcasts in: and left the church a heritage that shames a disbelieving age. 2 What godlessness destroys faith labors to restore; where doubt sees only change, faith finds an open door: and all who come to Jesus prove it's faith that makes the mountain move. 3 Then let us place ourselves in God's creative hands, anchored in faith, but free to do what God commands: not pris'ners of our heritage but born to serve the present age. 4 What need have we to wait for others to advance, for tides to turn, or folk be easier to convince? The time is now, and God is ours, with all the Spirit's mighty pow'rs.
