How beauteous are their feet

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 714 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Glory of the Word Lyrics: 1 HOW beauteous are at their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blessèd are our eyes, That see this heavenly light! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God!

I wait Thine hour; O blest Redeemer, come!

Hear Zion’s sighs, and help afford; Destroy the wiles of mighty foes, Who now Thy Word and truth oppose. 2 Their craft of vaunting pomp are great; High beat their hearts, with power elate; Our dearest hopes they but deride, They deem us nothing in their pride. 3 Forgive, O Lord, our sins forgive, Grant us Thy grace and let us live; Convince Thy foes throughout the land That godless counsels shall not stand. 4 Preserve Thy little flock in peace, Nor let Thy boundless mercy cease; Let it to all the world appear That Thy true Church indeed is here. 5 That Thou art with us, loud proclaim, Who put'st our enemies to shame, Dost all their haughtiness suppress, And help Thine own in their distress.

The mouth of fools doth God confess

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Protection of Lyrics: 1 THE mouth of fools doth God confess, But while their lips draw nigh Him, Their heart is full of wickedness, And all their deeds deny Him. Corrupt are they, and every one Abominable deeds hath done; There is not one well-doer. 2 The Lord looked from His heavenly throne On all mankind below Him, To see if there were any one Who truly sought to know Him; Who all his understanding bent To search His holy Word, intent To do His will in earnest. 3 But none there was who walked with God For all aside had slidden, Delusive paths of folly trod, And followed lusts forbidden; Not one there was who practiced good, Yet many deemed, in haughty mood, Their deeds to God were pleasing. 4 How long, by folly blindly led, Will they oppress the needy, And eat my people up like bread? So fierce are they and greedy! In God they put no trust at all, Nor will on Him in trouble call, But be their own providers. 5 Therefore their heart is never still, A constant fear dismays them; God is with him who doth His will, Who trusts Him and obeys Him; Ye shame the counsel of the poor, And mock him when he doth assure That God is e'er his refuge. 6 Who shall to Israel’s outcast race From Zion bring salvation? God will Himself at length show grace And loose the captive nation; That will He do by Christ their King; Let Jacob then be glad and sing, And Israel be joyful.

Here, in Thy name, eternal God

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 106 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Dedication Lyrics: 1 HERE, in Thy name, eternal God, We build this earthly house for Thee; O choose it for Thy fixed abode, And keep it from all error free. 2 Here, when Thy people seek Thy face, And dying sinners pray to live, Hear Thou in heaven, Thy dwelling place, And when Thou hearest, Lord, forgive. 3 Here, when Thy messengers proclaim The blessèd Gospel of Thy Son, Still by the power of His great name Be mighty signs and wonders done. 4 When children's voices raise the song, Hosanna to the heavenly King! Let heaven, with earth, the strain prolong, Hosanna! let the angels sing. 5 Thy glory never hence depart; Yet choose not, Lord, this house alone; Thy kingdom come to every heart, In every bosom fix Thy throne.

Let every ear attend

Our country's voice is pleading

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Mission Lyrics: 1 OUR country’s voice is pleading, Ye men of God, arise! His providence is leading, The land before you lies; Day-gleams, are o’er it brightening, And promise clothes the soil; Wide fields, for harvest whitening, Invite the reaper’s toil. 2 Go, where the waves are breaking On California’s shore, Christ’s precious Gospel taking, More rich than golden ore; On Allegheny’s mountains, Through all the western vale, Beside Missouri’s fountains, Rehearse the wondrous tale. 3 The love of Christ unfolding, Speed on from east to west, Till all, this cross beholding, In Him are fully blest. Great Author of salvation, Haste, haste the glorious day When we a ransomed nation, Thy sceptre shall obey.

How precious is the Book divine

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 644 hymnals Topics: The Word and the Church Glory of the Word Lyrics: 1 HOW precious is the Book divine, By inspiration given! Bright as a lamp its doctrines shine, To guide our souls to heaven. 2 O'er all the straight and narrow way Its radiant beams are cast; A light whose never weary ray Grows brightest at the last. 3 It sweetly cheers our drooping hearts In this dark vale of tears; Life, light, and joy it still imparts, And quells our rising fears. 4 This lamp, through all the tedious night Of life, shall guide our way, Till we behold the clearer light Of an eternal day.
