Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: John Newton, 1725-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,318 hymnals Topics: Lent III Year A; Proper 9 Year B; Second Sunday Before Advent Year B Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed thee for his own abode. On the Rock of ages founded, what can shake thy sure repose? With salvation's walls surrounded, thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters, springing from eternal love, well supply thy sons and daughters, and all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage: grace which, like the Lord the giver, never fails from age to age? *3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering, showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, if of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, all his boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasure, none but Zion's children know. Scripture: 1 John 2:17 Used With Tune: ABBOT'S LEIGH

God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year

Author: Arthur C. Ainger, 1841-1919 Meter: Irregular Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: Advent III Year B Lyrics: 1 God is working his purpose out, as year succeeds to year, God is working his purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, wherever feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God, 'Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.' 3 What can we do to work God's work, to prosper and increase the love of God in all mankind, the reign of the Prince of peace? What can we do to hasten the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea? 4 March we forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world; fight we the fight with sorrow and sin, to set their captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 5 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed; vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed; yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.

Wild and Lone the Prophet's Voice

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Advent III C Lyrics: 1 Wild and lone the prophet's voice Echoes through the desert still, Calling us to make a choice, Bidding us to do God's will: "Turn from sin and be baptized; Cleanse your heart and mind and soul. Quitting all the sins you prized, Yield your life to God's control." 2 "Bear the fruit repentance sows: Lives of justice, truth, and love. Trust no other claim than those; Set your heart on things above. Soon the Lord will come in pow'r, Burning clean the threshing floor: Then will flames the chaff devour; Wheat alone shall fill God's store." 3 With such preaching stark and bold John proclaimed salvation near, And his timeless warnings hold Words of hope to all who hear. So we dare to journey on, Led by faith through ways untrod, Till we come at last like John To behold the Lamb of God. Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
