O why should Israel's sons, once bless'd

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Topics: Missions and Charities Lyrics: 1 O why should Israel's sons, once bless'd, Still roam the scorning world around: Disown'd of heaven, by man oppress'd, Outcasts from Zion's hallow'd ground? 2 O God of Israel, view their race; Back to Thy fold the wanderers bring, Teach them to seek Thy slighted grace, To hail in Christ their promised King. 3 The veil of darkness rend in twain, Which hides their Shiloh's glorious light; The sever'd olive-branch again To its own parent stock unite. 4 Haste, glorious day, expected long, When Jew and Greek one prayer shall raise, With eager feet one temple throng, One God with grateful rapture praise.

And is the time approaching

Appears in 61 hymnals Topics: Missions and Charities Lyrics: 1 And is the time approaching, By prophets long foretold, When all shall dwell together, One Shepherd and one fold? Shall every idol perish, To moles and bats be thrown, And every prayer be offer'd To God in Christ alone? 2 Shall Jew and Gentile meeting From many a distant shore, Around one altar kneeling, One common Lord adore? Shall all that now divides us Remove and pass away, Like shadows of the morning Before the blaze of day? 3 Shall all that now unites us More sweet and lasting prove, A closer bond of union In a blest land of love? Shall war be learn'd no longer, Shall strife and tumult cease, All earth His blessèd kingdom, The Lord and Prince of Peace? 4 O long-expected dawning, Come with thy cheering ray! When shall the morning brighten. The shadows flee away? O sweet anticipation! It cheers the watchers on To pray, and hope, and labour, Till the dark night be gone.

O Thou Who madest land and sea

Thring Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Orphans; Almsgiving and Charities; Orphans; Processionals Missions Lyrics: 1 O Thou Who madest land and sea, And guidest all, in all their ways, Who hearest those who bring to Thee Their sacrifice of prayer and praise; Oh, hear Thy children as they bring Themselves a lowly offering! 2 Great God, Who with a Father's love Dost watch o'er all created things, And gatherest all, below, above, Beneath the shadow of Thy wings; Protect, we pray Thee, now, and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 3 Thou hearest still the eagle's cry, And notest e'en a sparrow's fall, Thy listening ear doth heed on high, And hearken to the raven's call; Then, heavenly Father, hear and bless Thy children who are fatherless. 4 Come, heavenly Father, come to-day, For we Thy children come to Thee, And Thou wilt never say us, nay, If come we in humility; New-born in Thee, O Father, bless Thy children who are fatherless. 5 Cast forth upon the barren strand Of this lone world, to Thee we fly; In faith and hope, we fain would stand Beneath Thy sheltering arm for aye; Stretch forth Thy hand ad pitying bless Thy children who are fatherless. 6 And may we all with joyful mind Our hearts as living offerings bring, The first-fruits of our life, to find A Father in our heavenly King; And learn in life and death to bless Thee, "Father of the fatherless." Amen. Used With Tune: MELITA
