Now Joyful Strains We Lift On High
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now joyful strains we lift on high,
Amid the faithful throng
Of those who Jesus magnify
In sweet and holy song.
2 We render thanks, and bless the Lord,
Who died our souls to save;
Through whom to heavenly peace restored
We fear no more the grave.
3 With saints, who all triumphantly
In paradise record,
O’er sin and death, the victory,
We strike the silver chord.
4 With angel hosts that dwell above,
And weave their golden lays
Around the throne of truth and love,
We glad hosannas raise.
5 We celebrate the glorious name
Of earth’s Redeemer king;
Our tongues aloud His power proclaim,
In heart His grace we sing. Used With Tune: ST. STEPHENS Text Sources: The Sabbath Hymn Book (New York: Sheldon, Blakeman, 1858)
Now Joyful Strains We Lift On High
The Year Is Gone, Beyond Recall
Author: Francis Pott, 1832-1909 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The year is gone, beyond recall,
With all its hopes and fears,
With all its bright and gladdening smiles,
With all its mourners’ tears.
2. Thy thankful people praise Thee, Lord,
For countless gifts received;
And pray for grace to keep the faith
Which saints of old believed.
3. To Thee we come, O gracious Lord,
The newborn year to bless;
Defend our land from pestilence,
Give peace and plenteousness.
4. Forgive this nation’s many sins,
The growth of vice restrain;
And help us all with sin to strive,
And crowns of life to gain.
5. From evil deeds that stain the past
We now desire to flee;
And pray that future years may all
Be spent, good Lord, for Thee.
6. O Father, let Thy watchful eye
Still look on us in love,
That we may praise Thee, year by year,
With angel hosts above.
7. All glory to the Father be,
All glory to the Son,
All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee,
While endless ages run.

The Year Is Gone, Beyond Recall
Round Me Falls the Night
Author: William Romanis Meter: 5.5.8.8.5.5 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Round me falls the night;
Savior, be my light:
Through the hours in darkness shrouded
Let me see Thy face unclouded;
Let Thy glory shine
in this heart of mine.
2. Earthly work is done,
earthly sounds are none;
Rest in sleep and silence seeking,
Let my hear Thee softly speaking;
In my spirit’s ear
whisper I am near.
3. Darkened now each ray
o’er the traveler’s way;
Let me know that Thou hast found me,
Let me feel Thine arms around me,
Sure from every ill
Thou wilt guard me still.
4. Blessèd heavenly light,
shining through earth’s night;
Voice, that oft of love hast told me;
Arms, so strong to clasp and hold me;
Thou Thy watch wilt keep,
Savior, o’er my sleep. Used With Tune: SEELENBRÄUTIGAM Text Sources: Wigston Magna School Hymns, 1878

Eternal Spirit, God of Truth

Our contrite hearts inspire;

With guilt and fear oppressed;
’Tis Thine to bid the dying live,
And give the weary rest.

Whate’er that sin may be,
That we, in singleness of heart,
May worship only Thee.
4. Then with our spirit witness bear
That we are sons of God,
Redeemed from sin and death and hell
Through Christ’s atoning blood. Used With Tune: SARAH (Gabriel)

Mighty One, Before Whose Face

Wisdom had her glorious seat,
When the orbs that people space
Sprang to earth beneath Thy feet.

God of love, who from Thy throne
Kindly watchest all mankind;

Shed that wisdom’s guiding light. Used With Tune: NUREMBERG

Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep
Author: Emma C. Willard Appears in 58 hymnals Refrain First Line: And calm and peaceful is my sleep Lyrics: 1. Rocked in the cradle of the deep,
I lay me down in peace to sleep;
Secure I rest upon the wave,
For Thou, O Lord, hast power to save.
I know Thou wilt not slight my call,
For Thou dost mark the sparrow’s fall.
Refrain
And calm and peaceful is my sleep,
Rocked in the cradle of the deep;
And calm and peaceful is my sleep,
Rocked in the cradle of the deep.
2. And such the trust that still were mine,
Though stormy winds sweep o’er the brine,
Or though the tempest’s fiery breath
Rouse me from sleep to wreck and death,
In ocean cave still safe with Thee,
The germ of immortality. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Rocked in the cradle of the deep]
Rocked in the Cradle of the Deep
Deliverance Will Come
Author: John B. Matthias Appears in 115 hymnals First Line: I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad Refrain First Line: Then palms of victory, crowns of glory Lyrics: 1. I saw a wayworn traveler, in tattered garments clad,
And struggling up the mountain, it seemed that he was sad;
His back was laden heavy, his strength was almost gone,
Yet he shouted as he journeyed, Deliverance will come!
Refrain
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory I shall wear.
2. The summer sun was shining, the sweat was on his brow,
His garments worn and dusty, his step seemed very slow;
But he kept pressing onward, for he was wending home,
Still shouting as he journeyed, Deliverance will come! [Refrain]
3. The songsters in the arbor that stood beside the way
Attracted his attention, inviting his delay:
His watchword being Onward! he stopped his ears and ran,
Still shouting as he journeyed, Deliverance will come! [Refrain]
4. I saw him in the evening; the sun was bending low;
He’d overtopped the mountain, and reached the vale below:
He saw the Golden City—his everlasting home—
And shouted loud, Hosanna! Deliverance will come! [Refrain]
5. While gazing on that city, just o’er the narrow flood,
A band of holy angels came from the throne of God;
They bore him on their pinions safe o’er the dashing foam,
And joined him in his triumph: Deliverance had come! [Refrain]
6. I heard the song of triumph they sang upon that shore,
Saying, Jesus has redeemed us to suffer nevermore!
Then casting his eyes backward on the race which he had run,
He shouted loud, Hosanna! Deliverance has come! [Refrain]
This version appeared in The Finest of the Wheat, No. 2 (Chicago, Illinois: R. R. McCabe & Co., 1894).
1. I saw a blood washed pilgrim, a sinner saved by grace,
Upon the King’s highway, with peaceful, shining face;
Temptations sore beset him, but nothing could afright;
He said, The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light.
Refrain
Then palms of victory, crowns of glory,
Palms of victory I shall wear.
2. His helmet was salvation, a simple faith his shield,
And righteousness his breastplate, the spirit’s sword he’d wield.
All fiery darts arrested, and quenched their blazing flight;
He cried The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light. [Refrain]
3. I saw him in the furnace; he doubted not, nor feared,
And in the flames beside him, the Son of God appeared;
Though seven times ’twas heated, with all the tempter’s might,
He cried, The yoke is easy, the burden, it is light. [Refrain]
4. ’Mid storms, and clouds, and trials, in prison, at the stake,
He leaped for joy, rejoicing, ’twas all for Jesus’ sake;
That God should count him worthy, was such supreme delight,
He cried, The yoke is easy, the burden, is so light. [Refrain]
5. I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife,
Until he crossed the threshold of God’s eternal life;
The crown, the throne, the scepter, the name, the stone so white,
Were his, who found, in Jesus, the yoke and burden light.

Deliverance Will Come
Raise the Psalm: Let Earth Adoring
Author: Edward Churton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Raise the psalm: let earth adoring,
Through each kindred, tribe, and tongue,
To her God His praise restoring,
Raise the new accordant song.
Bless His name, each farthest nation;
Sing His praise, His truth display:
Tell anew His high salvation,
With each new return of day.
2. Tell it out beneath the heaven
To each kindred, tribe and tongue,
Tell it out from morn till even
In your unexhausted song:
Tell that God forever reigneth,
He, who set the world so fast,
He, who still its state sustaineth
Till the day of doom to last.
3. Tell them that the day is coming
When that righteous doom shall be:
Then shall Heav’n new joys illumine,
Gladness shine o’er earth and sea.
Yea, the far resounding ocean
Shall its thousand voices raise,
All its waves in glad commotion
Chant the fullness of His praise.
4. And earth’s fields, with herbs and flowers,
Shall put on their choice array,
And in all their leafy bowers
Shall the woods keep holy day:
When the Judge, to earth descending,
Righteous judgment shall ordain,
Fraud and wrong shall then have ending,
Truth, immortal truth, shall reign. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA (Haydn) Text Sources: The Cleveland Psalter, 1854
