Away from his home and the friends of his youth

Author: Rev. Samuel Wakefield; Rev. Wm. Hunter Hymnal: SH1835 #196 (1854) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1. Away from his home and the friends of his youth, He hasted, the herald of mercy and truth, For the love of the Lord, and to seek for the lost; Soon, alas! was his fall—but he died at his post, (Repeat previous line). 2. The stranger's eye wept, that in life's brightest bloom One gifted so highly should sink to the tomb; For in order he led in the van of the host, And he fell like a soldier—he died at his post, (Repeat previous line). 3. He wept not himself that his warfare was done; The battle was fought, and the victory won: But he whispered of those whom his heart clung to most, "Tell my brethren, for me, that I died at my post," (Repeat previous line). 4. He asked not a stone to be sculptured with verse; He asked not that fame should his merits rehearse; But he asked, as a boon, when he gave up the ghost, That his brethren might know that he died at his post, (Repeat previous line). 5. Victorious his fall—for he rose as he fell With Jesus, his Master, in glory to dwell; He has passed o'er the stream, and has reached the bright coast, For he fell like a martyr—he died at his post, (Repeat previous line). 6. And can we the words of his exit forget? Oh no! they are fresh in our memory yet: And example so brilliant shall never be lost, We will fall in the work—we will die at our post, (Repeat previous line).

O'er the gloomy hills of darkness

Hymnal: SH1835 #197 (1854) Meter: 8.7.4 First Line: O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul! be still and gaze Lyrics: 1. O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul! be still and gaze; All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace: Blessed jubilee! blessed jubilee! Let thy glorious morning dawn. 2. Let the Indian, let the Negro, Let the rude barbarian see That divine and glorious conquest Once obtained on Calvary; Let the gospel, let the gospel, Loud resound from pole to pole. 3. Kingdoms wide, that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, the glorious light, And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night: And redemption, and redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 4. May the glorious day approaching, On the grossest darkness dawn; And the everlasting gospel Spread abroad thy holy name— All the borders, all the borders, Of the great Emmanuel's land. 5. Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting, wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway the sceptre, sway the sceptre, Savior, all the world around.

Hark! the glad sound, the Saviour comes

Hymnal: SH1835 #199 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1. Hark, the glad sound! the Savior comes, The Savior promised long; Let every heart prepare a throne, And every voice a song. On him, the Spirit largely poured, Exerts his sacred fire; Wisdom and might, and zeal and love His holy breast inspire. 2. He comes, the prisoner to release, In Satan's bondage held; The gates of brass before him burst, The iron fetters yield. He comes, from thickest films of vice To clear the mental ray, And on the eyes oppressed with night to pour celestial day. 3. He comes, the broken heart to bind, The wounded bleeding soul to cure, And, with the treasures of his grace, To enrich the humble poor. Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim; And heaven's eternal arches ring With thy beloved name. Languages: English Tune Title: DERRICK

Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver stream

Hymnal: SH1835 #200 (1854) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1. Thou sweet gliding Kedron, by thy silver stream Our Savior at midnight, when moonlight's pale beam Shone bright on thy waters, would frequently stray, And lose in thy murmurs the toils of the day. 2. How damp were the vapors that fell on his head! How hard was his pillow! how humble his bed! The angels, astonished, grew sad at the sight, And followed their Master with solemn delight. 3. O garden of Olivet, dear honored spot! The fame of thy wonder shall ne'er be forgot; The theme most transporting to seraphs above, The triumph of sorrow, the triumph of love. 4. Come, saints and adore him; come, bow at his feet! Oh, give him the glory, the praise that is meet; Let joyful hosannas unceasingly rise, And join the full chorus that gladdens the skies.

The morning sun shines from the east

Hymnal: SH1835 #210 (1854) Lyrics: 1. The morning sun shines from the east, And spreads his glories to the west, All nations with his beams are blest, 211 Where'er the radiant light appears. So science spreads her lucid ray O'er lands which long in darkness lay She visits fair Columbia, And sets her sons among the stars. 212 Fair freedom her attendant waits, To bless the portals of her gates, To crown the young and rising states With laurels of immortal day: The British yoke, the Gallic chain, Was urged upon our necks in vain, All haughty tyrants we disdain, And shout, Long live America.
