Yes, My Native Land, I Love Thee

Author: Samuel F. Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 206 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yes, my native land, I love thee; All thy scenes, I love them well; Friends, connections, happy country! Can I bid you all farewell? Can I leave you—can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell? 2 Home! thy joys are passing lovely; Joys no stranger-heart can tell! Happy home ! ’tis sure I love thee! Can I—can I say—Farewell? Can I leave you—can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell? 3 Scenes of sacred peace and pleasure, Holy days and Sabbath bell. Richest, brightest, sweetest treasure! Can I say a last farewell ? Can I leave you—can I leave you, Far in heathen lands to dwell? 4 Yes! I hasten from you gladly, From the scenes I loved so well! Far away, ye billows, bear me; Lovely native land, farewell! Pleased I leave thee—pleased I leave thee Far in heathen lands to dwell. 5 In the deserts let me labor, On the mountains let me tell How He died—the blessèd Savior— To redeem a world from hell! Let me hasten, let me hasten Far in heathen lands to dwell. 6 Bear me on, thou restless ocean; Let the winds my canvas swell— Heaves my heart with warm emotion, While I go far hence to dwell. Glad I bid thee, glad I bid thee, Native land! Farewell—Farewell!

Rise, O Lord! In All Thy Glory

Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Lord! in all Thy glory On the last and dreadful day; Lo! the lofty hills are hoary, Trembling ere they melt away! Come to judgment! Come to judgment, Let Thy wheels no longer stay. 2 Crash on crash of distant thunder Peals aloud from pole to pole; As in wrath they burst asunder, And the skies together roll! Clothed in sackcloth! Clothed in sackcloth! Withering like a parchment scroll! 3 Now the universe in motion Sinks upon her funeral pyre, Earth dissolving, and the ocean Vanishing in final fire: Hark, the trumpet! Hark, the trumpet Loud proclaims the hour of ire! 4 Graves have yawned in countless numbers, From the dust the dead arise— Legions, out of silent slumbers Wake in overwhelmed surprise— Where all nature! Where all nature Wrecked and torn in ruin lies! 5 Lo! that last long separation As the cleaving crowds divide— And one dread adjudication Sends each soul to either side: Lord of mercy! Lord of mercy! How shall I that day abide? 6 Sign of safety! see it lightening, Once the cross of crimson shame! And with heavn’ly luster brightening Those who suffered in its name! Mighty millions! Mighty millions! Radiant with their wings of flame! 7 Rise, O Lord! in all Thy glory On Thine amaranthine throne! Thousand thousand worlds adore Thee, Bow their knee to Thee alone. Hail, Emmanuel! Hail, Emmanuel! Let our hearts be all Thine own! Text Sources: The Passion of Jesus (London: Richardson & Son, 1852)
