On the Mountain's Top Appearing

Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1854 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 595 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:12 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.

Hallelujah, hallelujah! 3 So may your servants, faithful, true, and bold, fight as the saints who nobly fought of old, and win, with them, the victor's crown of gold. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 4 O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine, all yours, all joined in unity divine. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 5 And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long, steals on the ear the distant triumph song, and hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 6 The golden evening brightens in the west; soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest, the peaceful calm of paradise the blest. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 7 But see, there breaks a yet more glorious day; the saints triumphant rise in bright array; the King of glory calls passes on his way. Hallelujah, hallelujah! 8 From earth's wide bounds and ocean's farthest shore, through heaven's gate the holy people pour; the Three-in-One for ever they adore. Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Plunged in a gulf of dark despair

Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 479 hymnals Scripture: Ephesians 3:17-19 Lyrics: 1 Plunged in a gulf of dark despair, We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheerful beam of hope Or spark of glimmering day. 2 With pitying eyes the Prince of Grace Behold our helpless grief; He saw, and--oh, amazing love!-- He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above, With joyful haste he fled, Entered the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 Oh, for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak. 5 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes, His love can ne'er be told.
