Zion stands by hills surrounded
Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 410 hymnals Topics: Church nature of; Church Security of; Reformation Festival Lyrics: 1 Zion stands by hills surrounded--
Zion, kept by power divine;
All her foes shall be confounded,
Though the world in arms combine:
Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine!
Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine!
2 In the furnace God may prove thee,
Thence to bring thee forth more bright,
But can never cease to love thee;
Thou art precious in His sight;
God is with thee--God, thine everlasting light.
God is with thee--God, thine everlasting light.
Amen. Used With Tune: ZION
Zion stands by hills surrounded
Hark! the sound of holy voices
Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 237 hymnals Topics: The Church Year Saints' Days - Minor Festivals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices
Chanting at the crystal sea,
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Alleluia, Lord, to thee!
Multitude, which none can number,
Like the stars in glory stands
Clothed in white apparel, holding
Palms of victory in their hands.
2 They have come from tribulation,
And have washed their robes in blood,
Washed them in the Blood of Jesus;
Tried they were, and firm they stood;
Mocked, imprisoned, stoned, tormented,
Sawn asunder, slain with sword,
They have conquered death and Satan
By the might of Christ the Lord. A-men.
3 God of God, the One-begotten,
Light of Light, Emmanuel,
In whose body joined together
All the saints for ever dwell;
Pour upon us of thy fullness
That we may for evermore
God the Father, God the Son, and
God the Holy Ghost adore.
Amen.

With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.

Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts,
And blessed peace to cheer us;
And keep us in His grace,
And guide us when perplexed,
And free us from all ills,
In this world and the next.

Once More the Liberal Year Laughs Out
Author: John G. Whittier Appears in 32 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Thanksgiving First Line: Once more the lib'ral year laughs out Lyrics: 1 Once more the lib'ral year laughs out
O'er richer stores than gems or gold;
Once more, with harvest-song and shout,
Is nature's bloodless triumph told.
2 O favors ev'ry year made new!
O blessings with the sunshine sent!
The bounty overruns our due,
The fullness shames our discontent.
3 We shut our eyes, the flow'rs bloom on;
We murmur, but the corn ears fill;
We choose the shadow, but the sun
That casts it, shines behind us still.
4 Now let these altars, wreath'd with flow'rs
And piled with fruits, awake again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
The early and the latter rain. Used With Tune: WALTHAM

Lord God of Sabaoth, nearest thy throne;
These are thy messengers, these dost thou send,
Help of the helpless ones, man to defend. A-men.

Lord of angelic hosts, battling for right,
Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour,
We with the angels may bow and adore.

Evermore with Thee to reign. Used With Tune: REGENT SQUARE Text Sources: Anon., Latin, 6th or 7th century

We Plough the Fields
Author: Jane M. Campbell; M. Claudius Appears in 462 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals Thanksgiving First Line: We plough the fields, and scatter Lyrics: 1 We plow the fields, and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and watered
By God's almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
Chorus:
All good gifts around us
Are sent from heav'n above;
Then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord
For all His love.
2 He only is the Maker
Of all things near and far;
He paints the wayside flower,
He lights the evening star;
The winds and waves obey Him,
By Him the birds are fed;
Much more to us His children,
He gives our daily bread. [Chorus]
3 We thank Thee, then, O Father,
For all things bright and good,
The seed-time and the harvest,
Our life, our health, our food;
Accept the gifts we offer,
For all Thy love imparts,
And, what Thou most desirest,
Our humble, thankful hearts. [Chorus] Used With Tune: WIR PFLÜGEN

A few More Years shall Roll
Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 384 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals New Year Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll,
A few more seasons come,
And we shall be with those that rest,
Asleep within the tomb.
A few more suns shall set
O'er these dark hills of time,
And we shall be where suns are not,
A far serener clime.
2 A few more storms shall beat
On this wild, rocky shore,
And we shall be where tempests cease,
And surges swell no more.
A few more struggles here,
A few more partings o'er,
A few more toils, a few more tears,
And we shall weep no more.
3 'Tis but a little while,
And He shall come again,
Who died that we might live, who lives
That we with Him may reign;
Then, O my Lord, prepare
My soul for that glad day;
O wash me in Thy precious blood,
And take my sins away! Used With Tune: LEOMINSTER
