Come Forth, Ye Men of Every Race and Nation!

Author: Jay Holmes Smith Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come forth, ye men of every race and nation! We are making God's new world for all the songs of men: Our hearts unite in daring expectation, For the matchless Lord of life doth tread this earth again. Behold, He comes as first He came To write upon the hearts of men in words of living flame His Spirit of heroic love, That one redemptive purpose through this age may move! 2. Awake, O sons of privilege and power, For the dispossessed of earth to God for justice cry! Let eager hands restore their rightful dower, Lest the clamour of our greed His providence deny. The last, the least, the lost are ours; To their emancipation we devote our ardent powers. While they are bound can we be free? The knights of service choose the nobler liberty. 3. Though ruthless power may wield its weapons gory We hold ourselves for Thee all loyalties above. Though storms of hate may rage in empty glory In the splendour of the Dawn we see Thy cross of love. With healing rays it gleams afar, And radiates its deathless hope from star to flaming star. We march with Thee where martyrs trod, Till all the sons of men become the sons of God.

Savior of men, our joy supreme

Author: Richard Mant Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Savior of men, our joy supreme, The heart’s desire and pure delight; Who by Thy love didst those redeem, Whom Thou created by Thy might: What unknown love could Thee constrain, Our sins, all sinless, to sustain? And death’s sharp sting to crucify, That we might live and never die? 2 Thou break’st through Chaos’ old domain, Unbind’st the prisoned captive’s band, And with triumphant state dost reign In glory on Thy Sire’s right hand. O for our woes benignly feel; Our wounds with gentle mercy heal; Our eyes, which long Thy face to see, Glad with the blissful sight of Thee! 3 Be Thou our heav’nward guide and way, Thou of our hearts the aim and goal; Wipe Thou our tears with joy away, Revive and gladden Thou the soul! To Thee, ascended up to Heav’n, Triumphant Son, be glory giv’n; And, girt with Heav’n’s adoring host, Thee, Sire of all; Thee, Holy Ghost!

Lord In The Unbeginning Years

Author: John Bowring Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Lord! in the unbeginning years Lyrics: 1 Lord! in the unbeginning years, Whose course is wrapped in trackless night, Ere Thou hadst launched the heavenly spheres, Or waked this wandering world to light; What were Thy words, Thy works, and how Didst Thou Thy glorious march record? For Thou wert great and good, as now, Of love the source, of light the Lord. 2 And in the unending ages, far Beyond the utmost reach of mind, When all that is, and all that are, Shall leave not e’en a wreck behind: Oh! what shall be Thy bright career, Lord of the eternal, changeless will? Thou will be there supreme, as here— All wise, all good, almighty still! 3 Yes! shrouded in the mystery, The past, the future’s dark abyss, Bright clouds of splendor circle Thee, And light Thy path from bliss to bliss. This is our faith, our hope, our trust, Through thought’s immeasurable range, Time is a dream, and man is dust— But Thou—but Thou canst never change!

Oh Realm of Light

Author: Emily H. Miller Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Oh realm of light! whose morning star Lyrics: 1. Oh realm of light! whose morning star To Bethlehem’s manger led the way, Not yet upon our longing eyes Shines the full splendor of thy day: Yet still across the centuries fall, Both strong and sweet, our Lord’s command; And still with steadfast faith we cry, Behold, the kingdom is at hand! 2. Oh realm of Heav’n! whose dawn began With love’s divine, incarnate breath, Our hearts were slow to understand The lessons of that life and death: Yet though with stammering tongues we tell Redemption’s story, strange and sweet, The world’s Redeemer, lifted up Shall draw the nations to His feet. 3. Oh realm of peace! whose music clear Swept through Judea’s starlit skies, Still the harsh sounds of human strife Break on thy heavenly harmonies; Yet shall thy song of triumph ring In full accord, from land to land, And men with angels learn to sing, Behold, the kingdom is at hand!

Welcome The Bright Millennial Day

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Welcome the bright millennial day When former things are passed away, When earth in righteousness renewed, Blooms as at the beginning good! Wine from the mountain tops distills, And milky currents from the hills, Rivers of living water rise, Pure as their Fountain in the skies. 2 Forth issuing from Jehovah’s throne Sent by the Father and the Son, The Holy Ghost His fullness pours In glorious, everlasting showers; The King of saints resides below, His Spirit doth our vale o’erflow, Brings back the garden of the Lord, And shows us paradise restored.

I know the path that tells the way Thro’ the cool eve of every day. God, I can push the grass apart And lay my finger on Thy heart. 2. The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide; Above the world is stretched the sky— No higher than the soul is high. The heart can push the sea and land Farther away on either hand; The soul can split the sky in two, And let the face of God shine thro’.
