Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Church on Earth Lyrics: 1 With joy and gladness in my soul I hear the call to prayer; Let us go up to God's own house And bow before Him there, And bow before Him there. 2 We stand within thy sacred walls, O Zion, blest for aye, Wherein the people of the Lord United homage pay, United homage pay. 3 They come to learn Jehovah's will, His mighty deeds to own, For there is judgment's royal seat, Messiah's kingly throne, Messiah's kingly throne. 4 O pray that Zion may be blest And have abundant peace, For all that love thee in their hearts Shall prosper and increase, Shall prosper and increase. 5 I pray the Lord that peace may still Within thy walls abound, And ever in thy palaces Prosperity be found, Prosperity be found. 6 Yea, for the sake of friends and kin, My heart desires thy peace, And for the house of God the Lord My care shall never cease, My care shall never cease.

O Wherefore Hast Thou Cast Us Off

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Church on Earth Lyrics: 1 O wherefore hast Thou cast us off, O God, our God of old? Why art Thou angry with Thy sheep, The sheep of Thy own fold, The sheep of Thy own fold? 2 Remember Thy inheritance, Thy Church, redeemed by grace; Remember Zion's mount profaned, Thy ancient dwelling-place, Thy ancient dwelling-place. 3 In ruin long Thy temple lies; Arise, o God of grace, And see the ruin foes have wrought Within Thy holy place, Within Thy holy place. 4 Amid Thy courts are lifted high The standards of the foe, And impious hands with axe and fire Have laid Thy temple low, Have laid Thy temple low. 5 They have profaned the holy place Where Thou hast set Thy Name, The sanctuaries of our God Are given to the flame, Are given to the flame. 6 We see no signs of power divine, No prophet speaks for Thee, And none can tell, and none can know, How long these woes shall be, How long these woes shall be. 7 How long, O God, shall blasphemy And shame reproach our land? Why dost Thou not destroy Thy foes With Thy almighty hand, With Thy almighty hand? 8 O God, Thou art our King of old; Salvation Thou hast wrought; In safety through the mighty sea Our fathers Thou hast brought, Our fathers Thou hast brought. 9 With mighty arm Thou didst destroy The pride of boastful man, And for Thy people made a path Where mighty waters ran, Where mighty waters ran. 10 The day is Thine, and Thine the night, And Thine the shining sun; At Thy command earth's bounds are set And changing seasons run, And changing seasons run. 11 Mark how Thy enemies, O Lord, Against Thee proudly speak; Preserve Thy saints from wicked men, Be mindful of the meek, Be mindful of the meek. 12 Fulfil, O Lord, Thy covenant, Our strong Protector be, For in the earth are dark abodes Of crime and cruelty, Of crime and cruelty. 13 Let not Thy saints be put to shame, No longer in Thy sight Permit Thy foes to vaunt themselves; Lord, vindicate the right, Lord, vindicate the right.

God Saved His People from Distress

Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: The Church on Earth Lyrics: 1 God saved His people from distress And led them through the wilderness; Then mountains trembled in their place, The heavens were bowed before His face. With copious showers Thou didst assuage The thirsting of Thy heritage; Thy congregation dwelt secure; Thou, God, art gracious to the poor. 2 The Lord sent forth His mighty word, And shouts of victory were heard; The women came, a mighty throng, To join the glad triumphant song. When God His chosen people led, The kings and armies turned and fled; The hosts of God victorious fought, And home their spoils and trophies brought. 3 God's people rested, free from care, In glorious peace and beauty fair; Their mighty King did overthrow The hostile kings like driven snow. All mountains unto God belong, But Zion's holy mountains strong Above them all the Lord loves well, And there He will forever dwell. 4 Great hosts to holy wars have trod, The armies of the living God; Among them He reveals His face, The God of justice and of grace. Thou hast ascended up on high And captive led captivity; They come with gifts who did rebel, That with them God the Lord might dwell. 5 Blest be the Lord! for us He cares And daily all our burden bears; Our God is mighty, strong to save; Jehovah frees us from the grave. God's unrelenting enemies No peace shall find in earth or seas; His people shall triumphant go, Victorious over every foe. 6 With glorious pomp our King and God Has entered into His abode With sacred minstrelsy and song, While maidens with their timbrels throng. Assemble ye before His face, All ye that spring from Israel’s race; Ye chosen tribes, with one accord Come ye, and bless your God, the Lord. Scripture: Psalm 68 Used With Tune: VANDER WERP

Amen. Scripture: Acts 10:38 Used With Tune: WELWYN
