Descend from heaven, immortal Dove
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 92 hymnals Topics: Complaint pride, atheism, oppression, etc; Pride and atheism, and oppression punished; Falsehood and oppression, deliverance from them Lyrics:
Descend from heav'n, immortal Dove,
Stoop down and take us on thy wings,
And mount and bear us far above
The reach of these inferior things:
Beyond, beyond this lower sky,
Up where eternal ages roll;
Where solid pleasures never die,
And fruits immortal feast the soul.
O for a sight, a pleasing sight
Of our Almighty Father's throne!
There sits our Savior crowned with light,
Clothed in a body like our own.
Adoring saints around him stand,
And thrones and powers before him fall;
The God shines gracious through the man,
And sheds sweet glories on them all.
O what amazing joys they feel
While to their golden harps they sing,
And sit on every heav'nly hill,
And spread the triumphs of their King!
When shall the day, dear Lord, appear,
That I shall mount to dwell above,
And stand and bow amongst them there,
And view thy face, and sing, and love?
Scripture: Psalm 12
Descend from heaven, immortal Dove
The City Is Alive, O God
Author: William W. Reid Jr Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Poverty and Oppression Lyrics: 1 The city is alive, O God,
with sound of hustling feet,
with rapid change and flashing lights
that pulse through every street;
but oft there's inhumanity
behind the bright facade,
and throngs with empty, hungering hearts
cry out for help, O God.
2 Is it your will, O loving God,
that races live in strife,
that loneliness and greed and hate
should mark a city's life?
Do you desire one person's wealth
to keep another poor?
Must crime and slums and lust abound?
O Lord, is there no cure?
3 In Galilee the people heard
your servant Christ declare
through healing touch, through word and cross,
the good news of your care.
He said your heart touched every heart
that longed for peace and right,
that those bowed down by burdens borne
could find your life, your light.
4 O God, inspire your church today
to take Christ's servant role,
to love the world, to hear its claims
to sense its yearning soul,
to live within the marketplace,
to serve both weak and strong,
to lose itself, to share its dream,
to give the world its song. Scripture: Matthew 10:39 Used With Tune: STAR OF COUNTY DOWN
The City Is Alive, O God
O God, Defender of the Poor
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Poverty and Oppression Lyrics: 1 O God, defender of the poor,
have mercy when I pray:
you listened to my prayer before–
LORD, hear my prayer today.
2 How long will people choose vain things,
love empty words and wrong?
They scorn to serve the King of kings–
O living God, how long?
3 The saints, O LORD, you set apart
by grace to be your own:
let sinners tremble, search their hearts,
and bow before your throne.
4 While many pray that you will bless
and bring them all they need,
unless they long for holiness,
their prayers are vain in deed.
5 Your light, O LORD, let us receive;
your face within us shine,
for richer is the joy you give
than all their grain and wine.
6 And even when I turn to sleep
your blessings still increase,
for you alone, O LORD, will keep
your child in perfect peace.
Scripture: Psalm 4 Used With Tune: DUNFERMLINE
O God, Defender of the Poor
Not different food, or different dress
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: Falsehood and oppression, deliverance from them; Deliverance from oppression and falsehood Lyrics:
Not diff'rent food, or diff'rent dress,
Compose the kingdom of our Lord;
But peace, and joy, and righteousness,
Faith, and obedience to his word.
When weaker Christians we despise,
We do the gospel mighty wrong;
For God, the gracious and the wise,
Receives the feeble with the strong.
Let pride and wrath be banished hence;
Meekness and love our souls pursue;
Nor shall our practice give offence
To saints, the Gentile or the Jew.
Scripture: Romans 14:17
Not different food, or different dress
Lo, what a glorious sight appears
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 290 hymnals Topics: Complaint pride, atheism, oppression, etc; Pride and atheism, and oppression punished Lyrics:
Lo! what a glorious sight appears
To our believing eyes!
The earth and sea are passed away,
And the old rolling skies.
From the third heav'n, where God resides,
That holy, happy place,
The new Jerusalem comes down,
Adorned with shining grace.
Attending angels shout for joy,
And the bright armies sing-
"Mortals, behold the sacred seat
Of your descending King.
"The God of glory down to men
Removes his blest abode;
Men, the dear objects of his grace,
And he the loving God.
"His own soft hand shall wipe the tears
From every weeping eye,
And pains, and groans, and griefs, and fears,
And death itself, shall die."
How long, dear Savior! O how long
Shall this bright hour delay?
Fly swifter round, ye wheels of time,
And bring the welcome day.
Scripture: Revelation 21:1-4
Lo, what a glorious sight appears

All Have Sinned (Psalm 14, 53)
From my Youth up, may Israel say
Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Description of Oppression of the Church in all Ages Lyrics: 1 From my Youth up, may Israel say,
They oftentimes have me assail'd;
Reduc'd me oft to heavy Straits,
But never yet have quite previl'd:
They plow'd my Back with Furrows long;
But GOD has recu'd us from Wrong.
2 Defeat, Confusion, shameful Rout
Ne still the dreadful Doom of those,
Their righteous Doom, who Sion hate,
And Sion's holy GOD oppose:
Like corn that's wither'd, let them fade,
Which too much Heat, and want of Root,
Untimely blasted in the Blade.
3 Which in his Arms no Reaper takes,
But in the Field neglected leaves;
Nor Binder thinks it worth his Pains
To fold and gather into Sheaves:
Nor Traveller vouchsafes to stop,
And crave a Blessing on the Crop.
Scripture: Psalm 129 Used With Tune: [From my Youth up, may Israel say]
From my Youth up, may Israel say
