Psalm 67

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: Missions and Growth First Line: Shine mighty God! on Zion shine Lyrics: 1 Shine, mighty God! on Zion shine, With beams of heavenly grace; Reveal thy power through all our coasts, And show thy smiling face. 2 When shall thy name from shore to shore, Sound all the earth abroad, And distant nations know and love Their Saviour and their God? 3 Sing to the Lord, ye distant lands! Sing loud with solemn voice; Let every tongue exalt his praise, And every heart rejoice. 4 Earth shall obey her Maker's will, And yield a full increase; Our God will crown his chosen land With fruitfulness and peace. 5 God, the Redeemer, scatters round His choicest favors here, While the creation's utmost bound Shall see, adore, and fear.

Glorious things of you are spoken

Author: J. Newton (1725-1807) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1,334 hymnals Topics: God's Church Unity and Growth Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of you are spoken, Zion, city of our God; he whose word cannot be broken formed you for his own abode: on the rock of ages founded, what can shake your sure repose? with salvation's walls surrounded you may smile at all your foes. 2 See, the streams of living waters springing from eternal love! well supply your sons and daughters and all fear of want remove: who can faint while such a river ever flows their thirst to assuage? grace, which like the Lord the giver never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, see the cloud and fire appear for a glory and a covering showing that the Lord is near: thus they march, the pillar leading, light by night and shade by day; daily on the manna feeding which he gives them when they pray. 4 Saviour, since of Zion's city I through grace a member am, let the world deride or pity, I will glory in your name: fading are the world's best pleasures, all its boasted pomp and show; solid joys and lasting treasures none but Zion's children know. Scripture: Psalm 87:3 Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Ancient Israel

Author: James Joyce Appears in 88 hymnals Topics: Missions and Growth First Line: Why on the bending willows hung Lyrics: 1 Why on the bending willows hung, Israel! still sleeps thy tuneful string? Still mute remains thy sullen tongue, And Zion's song denies to sing? 2 Awake! thy sweetest raptures raise; Let harp and voice unite their strains: Thy promised King his sceptre sways: Jesus, thine own Messiah, reigns! 3 No taunting foes the song require; No strangers mock thy captive chain; But friends provoke the silent lyre, And brethren ask the holy strain. 4 Nor fear thy Salem's hills to wrong, If other lands thy triumphs share: A heavenly city claims thy song; A brighter Salem rises there. 5 By foreign streams no longer roam; Nor, weeping, think of Jordan's flood: In every clime behold a home, In every temple see thy God.
