Lord of every land and nation!

Author: Robinson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of every land and nation! Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation, Be thy just, exalted praise. For the grandeur of thy nature, Grand beyond a seraph's thought; For the wonders of creation, Works with skill and kindness wrought. 2 For thy rich, thy free redemption, Bright, though veiled in darkness long, Thought is poor, and poor expression: Who can sing that wondrous song? Brightness of the Father's glory! Shall thy praise unuttered lie? Break, my tongue, such guilty silence, Sing the Lord who came to die. 3 From the highest throne of glory, To the cross of deepest woe, Came to ransom guilty captives; Flow, my praise, forever flow: Reascend, immortal Saviour! Leave thy footstool, take thy throne: Thence return and reign forever; Be the kingdom all thy own. Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; Praise to the Saviour

Lord, on this sadly-solemn day

Author: S. W. Widney Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, on this sadly-solemn day, We bow our souls--we fast and pray; Before our eyes our sins appear, And give us sorrow, shame, and fear. 2 Our private sins of heart and thought, Our words and deeds with errors fraught, Obnoxious to thy holiness, We mourn before thee, and confess. 3 The demon with the poisonous bowl That kills the body--damns the soul-- O'er bleeding bosoms stalks along, With maniac laugh and drunken song. 4 In vain they fast, they pray in vain, Who lift the hands that forget the chain To bind the body or the soul A slave to man or to the bowl. 5 Forgive us, Lord; regard us now, While here we pledge our solemn vow, To shun the vile oppressor's ways, And labor fallen man to raise.

Mortals, awake, with angels join

Author: Medley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 325 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Mortals, awake, with angels join, And chant the solemn lay; Joy, love, and gratitude combine To hail the auspicious day. 2 In heaven the rapturous song began, And sweet seraphic fire Through all the shining legions ran, And strung and tuned the lyre. 3 Swift through the vast expanse it flew, And loud the echo rolled; The theme, the song, the joy, was new-- 'Twas more than heaven could hold. 4 Down through the portals of the sky The impetuous torrent ran; And angels flew, with eager joy, To bear the news to man. 5 With joy the chorus we repeat,-- Glory to God on high! Good-will and peace are now complete-- Jesus was born to die. 6 Hail, Prince of life, forever hail! Redeemer, Brother, Friend! Though earth, and time, and life shall fail, Thy praise shall never end. 7 Hark! the cherubic armies shout, And glory leads the song: Good-will and peace are heard throughout The harmonious heavenly throng.

Oh, resurrection day! Ye angels, from the stars coming down, And bear my soul away. Topics: The Christian Life Courage and Triumph; Bearing the Cross Scripture: Matthew 10:25

Which neither life nor death can part From him that dwells within: 4 A heart in every thought renewed, And full of love divine; Perfect and right, and pure and good, A copy, Lord, of thine. 5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart; Come quickly from above; Write thy new name upon my heart-- Thy new, best name of Love.
