O Zion, tune thy voice

Author: Doddridge Appears in 146 hymnals Topics: The Church Her Foundation and Nature Lyrics: 1 O Zion, tune thy voice, And raise thy hands on high; Tell all the earth thy joys, And boast salvation nigh. Cheerful in God, Arise and shine, While rays divine Stream all abroad. 2 He gilds thy mourning face With beams that cannot fade; His all-resplendent grace He pours around thy head. The nations round Thy form shall view, With luster new Divinely crowned. 3 In honor to His Name Reflect that sacred light, And loud that grace proclaim Which makes thy darkness bright. Pursue His praise, Till sovereign Love In worlds above Thy glory raise. 4 There, on His holy hill, A brighter Sun shall rise, And with His radiance fill Those fairer, purer skies; While round His throne, Ten thousand stars In nobler spheres His influence own.

Through all her palaces! 3 When kings against her joined, And saw the Lord was there, In wild confusion of the mind, They fled with hasty fear, They fled with hasty fear. 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold Where His own sheep have been, Where His own sheep have been. 5 In every new distress We'll to His house repair; We'll call to mind His wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there, And seek deliverance there. Amen. Used With Tune: LUTHER

See who bears the awful load; 'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of man, and Son of God. 2 Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning, Was there ever grief like His? Friends through fear His cause disowning, Foes insulting His distress; Many hands were raised to wound Him, None would interpose to save; But the deepest stroke that pierced Him Was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Here we have a firm foundation; Here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the Rock of our salvation: His the name of which we boast: Lamb of God, for sinners wounded! Sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded Who on Him their hope have built. Amen. Used With Tune: AUTUMN
