Veiled in Darkness Judah Lay

Author: Douglas LeTell Rights Hymnal: WSH1972 #613 (1972) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Refrain First Line: Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men Lyrics: 1 Veiled in darkness Judah lay, Waiting for the promised day, While across the shadowy night Streamed a flood of glorious light, Heavenly voices chanting then, "Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men." 2 Still the earth in darkness lies. Up from death’s dark vale arise Voices of a world in grief, Prayers of men who seek relief: Now our darkness pierce again, "Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men." 3 Light of light, we humbly pray, Shine upon your world today; Break the gloom of our dark night, Fill our souls with love and light, Send your blessed word again, "Peace on earth, peace on earth, goodwill, goodwill to men." Amen.

And for his marriage feast prepare, For you must go to meet him there. 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing; She wakes, she rises from her gloom. For her Lord comes down all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her Star is risen, her Light is come! Ah, come now, blessed Lord, O Jesus, Son of God! Alleluia! We follow till the halls we view Where you have bid us sup with you. Amen.

Watchman, Tell Us of the Night

Author: John Bowring Hymnal: WSH1972 #617 (1972) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 Watchman, tell us of the night, What its signs of promise are. Traveler, o'er yon mountain's height, See that glory-beaming star. Watchman, doth its beauteous ray Aught of joy or hope foretell? Traveler, yes; it brings the day, Promised day of Israel. 2 Watchman, tell us of the night, Higher yet that star ascends. Traveler, blessedness and light, Peace and truth, its course portends. Watchman, will its beams alone Gild the spot that gave them birth? Traveler, ages are its own; See, it bursts o'er all the earth! 3 Watchman, tell us of the night, For the morning seems to dawn. Traveler, darkness takes its flight, Doubt and terror are withdrawn. Watchman, let your wanderings cease; Hasten to your quiet home. Traveler, lo, the Prince of Peace, Lo, the Son of God, is come!

Up! it is Jehovah's rally; Your full strength with God's combine. Worlds are charging, heaven beholding; You have but an hour to fight; Now, the blazoned cross unfolding, On, right onward for the right! 3 Sworn to yield, to waver, never; Consecrated, born again; Sworn to be Christ's soldiers ever, O for Christ at least be men!
