How Sweetly The Morn Of The Sabbath Arose

Author: L. Johnson, Jr. Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How sweetly the morn of the Sabbath arose, When Jesus the conqueror had vanquished His foes, Ascended from darkness, dispelling the night, When dawned on the nations the Gospel’s fair light. 2 And soon the bright morning spread swiftly and wide, And awed into silence the hosts that defied. The band of disciples a banner unfurled, The Gospel’s white banner, to float o’er the world. 3 Still onward, and onward, the brightness advanced, From river and glacier the sunny beam danced; The heathen rejoiced in the warmth of the ray, And welcomed in gladness Messiah’s mild sway. 4 A darkness, a darkness—all shrouded in gloom— Oh, say, hath the Savior returned to the tomb? The world—must it wander in sorrow again? Oh, was the great standard unfolded in vain? 5 All hail the white banner! ’tis waving again; Adieu then to darkness, and error, and pain. For Briton, and Gaul, and the Switzer, there’s rest, And light in the beautiful land of the West. 6 Strive on then, ye Christians, be valiant and strong; Ne’er faint in the conflict, although it be long— And never refrain till all error is flown, And earth bright and pure for the blessèd One’s throne. 7 Make room! we are coming, the gentle and young; Though weak now, and humble, we soon shall be strong. The hosts of the heathen shall hear of the Lamb, And nations uncounted shall honor His name. Used With Tune: PROGRESS Text Sources: The Well-Spring by Asa Bullard (Boston: Sabbath School Society), v. III, no. 26

Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 90 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In seasons of grief to my God I'll repair, When my heart is o'erwhelmed in sorrow and care; From the ends of the earth unto thee will I cry, "Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I" 2. When Satan, my foe, comes in like a flood, To drive my poor soul from the fountain of good, I'll pray to the Savior who kindly did cry, "Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I" 3. And when I have ended my pilgrimage here, In Jesus' pure righteousness let me appear: From the swellings of Jordan to thee will I cry: "Lead me to the Rock that is higher than I" 4. And when the last trumpet shall sound through the skies, And the dead from the dust of the earth shall arise, With millions I'll join, far above yonder sky, To praise the Great Rock that is higher than I.

Jesus, friend of sinners, Thou hast read my heart, Searching its recesses with a lover’s art; Naught have I withholden, nothing hid from Thee— Waste, or want, or folly—things that should not be. 3. Jesus, friend of sinners, Thou hast touched my soul, Not with scornful pity, not with beggar’s dole; Thou hast not despisèd men that faint or fall, Tenderer than brother, for Thou knowest all. 4. Jesus, friend of sinners, bid me follow Thee, O’er the rugged highways, e’en to Calvary; Let me know Thy Spirit, sweet and strong and wise; I would win the friendship in Thy loving eyes. 5. Jesus, friend of sinners, hold me by Thy side, Till the shadows deepen tow’rd the eventide; To Thy strength and beauty I would ever bend, Till, in dawn eternal, friend shall be as friend!
