Oh, happy man whose hopes rely

Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: The Hymnal #10 (1956) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: God Israel's Lyrics: 1 Oh, happy man whose hopes rely On Israel's God! He made the sky And earth and seas and all their train; His truth forever stands secure; He saves the oppressed, he feeds the poor, And none shall find his promise vain. 2 The Lord gives vision to the blind; The Lord supports the fainting mind; He sends the laboring conscience peace, He helps the stranger in distress, The widow and the fatherless, And grants the prisoner sweet release. 3 I'll praise him wile he lends me breath, And when my voice is lost in death, Praise shall employ my nobler powers; My days of praise shall ne'er be past While life and thought and beinb last, Or immortality endures. Scripture: Psalm 147:1-5 Tune Title: CHESHUNT COLLEGE

It shall again to light come forth To usher in Christ’s reign on earth. It shall again to light come forth To usher in Christ’s reign on earth. 3. It speaks of Joseph’s seed And makes the remnant known Of nations long since dead, Who once had dwelt alone. The fulness of the gospel, too, Its pages will reveal to view. The fulness of the gospel, too, Its pages will reveal to view. 4. The time is now fulfilled, The long-expected day; Let earth obedience yield And darkness flee away. Remove the seals; be wide unfurled Its light and glory to the world. Remove the seals; be wide unfurled Its light and glory to the world. 5. Lo! Israel filled with joy Shall now be gathered home, Their wealth and means employ To build Jerusalem, While Zion shall arise and shine And fill the earth with truth divine. While Zion shall arise and shine And fill the earth with truth divine. Languages: English Tune Title: [An angel from on high]

Come with all joy to sing to God

Author: Christopher Idle (born 1938) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #16 (1987) Topics: The Remnant of Israel Lyrics: 1 Come with all joy to sing to God our saving rock, the living Lord; in glad thanksgiving seek his face with songs of victory and grace. 2 In holiness and light arrayed above all gods that we have made, he is the one almighty king, and his the glory that we sing. 3 The earth is his from east to west, from ocean-floor to mountain-crest; he made the sea and formed the lands, he shaped the islands by his hands. 4 Come near to worship! Come with faith, bow down to him who gives us breath: God is our shepherd, he alone; we are his people, all his own. 5 But if you hear God's voice today do not reject what he will say; when Israel wandered from God's path they suffered forty years of wrath. 6 That generation went astray; they did not want to know his way: they put their saviour to the test, and saw his power, but lost their rest. 7 So to the God of earth and heaven, the Father, Spirit, Son, be given praise now, as praise has ever been and ever shall be praise — Amen! Scripture: Psalm 95 Languages: English Tune Title: FULDA

Thus far on life's perplexing path

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #55 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Israel Lyrics: Thus far on life's perplexing path, Thus far, Thou, Lord, our steps hast led; Snatch'd from the world's pursuing wrath, Unharm'd, though floods hung o'er our head; Like ransom'd Israel on the shore, Here, then, we pause, look back, adore. Strangers and pilgrims here below, Like all our fathers in their day, We to the land of promise go, Lord, by Thine own appointed way: Still guide, illumine, cheer our flight, In cloud by day, in fire by night. Safety Thy presence is, and rest; While,--as the eagle, o'er her brood Flutters her pinions, stirs the nest, Covers, defends, provides them food, Bears on her wings, instructs to fly,-- Thy love prepares us for the sky. 60 Protect us through the wilderness From fiery tempest, plague, and foe; With bread from heaven Thy people bless, And living streams where'er we go: Nor let our rebel hearts repine, Or follow any voice but Thine. Thy holy law to us proclaim, But not from Sinai's top alone; Hid in the rock-cleft, be Thy Name, Thy power and all Thy goodness shown; And may we never bow the knee, Or worship any God but Thee. When we have number'd all our years, And stand, at length, on Jordan's brink, Though the flesh fail with mortal fears, O let not then the spirit sink; But, strong in faith, and hope, and love, Plunge through the stream to rise above.
