Psalm 121: Unto the Hills
Author: John Campbell; Josephine S. (Konwinne) Day Meter: 10.4.10.4.10.10 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Sun First Line: Unto the hills around do I lift up Lyrics: 1 Unto the hills around do I lift up
my longing eyes:
O whence for me shall my salvation come,
from whence arise?
From God the Lord doth come my certain aid,
from God the Lord who heaven and earth hath made.
2 God will not suffer that thy foot be moved;
safe shalt thou be.
No careless slumber shall His eyelids close
who keepeth thee.
The One who sleepeth not,
who slumbereth ne'er,
shall guard thee, Israel, with most holy care.
3 Jehovah is Himself thy keeper true,
thy changeless shade;
Jehovah thy defence on thy right hand,
thine own true aid.
And thee no sun by day shall ever smite;
no moon shall harm thee in the silent night.
4 From every evil shall God keep thy soul,
from every sin;
Jehovah shall preserve thy going out,
thy coming in.
Above thee watching, God whom we adore
shall keep thee henceforth, yea, for evermore. Scripture: Psalm 121 Used With Tune: SANDON
Psalm 121: Unto the Hills
Rejoice, all ye believers
Author: Jane L. Borthwick; Laurentius Laurenti Appears in 335 hymnals Topics: Christ Sun of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers,
And let your lights appear!
The evening is advancing,
And darker night is near.
The Bridegroom is arising,
And soon He draweth nigh.
Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle--
At midnight comes the cry.
2 The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near;
Go meet Him as He cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.
The marriage-feast is waiting,
The gates wide open stand;
Up,up, ye heirs of glory;
The Bridegroom is at hand!
3 Ye saints, who here in patience
Your cross and sufferings bore,
Shall live and reign for ever,
When sorrow is no more.
Around the throne of glory
The Lamb ye shall behold,
In triumph cast before Him
Your diadems of gold!
4 Our Hope and Expectation,
O Jesus, now appear;
Arise, Thou Sun so longed for,
O'er this benighted sphere!
With hearts and hands uplifted,
We plead, O Lord, to see
The day of earth’s redemption,
That brings us unto Thee!
Amen.

The Race That Long in Darkness Pined
Author: John Morison Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Topics: Names and Office of Christ Sun Lyrics: 1 The race that long in darkness pined
Have seen a glorious Light;
The people dwell in day who dwelt
In death’s surrounding night.
2 To hail Thy rising, better Sun,
The gath'ring nations come,
Joyous as when the reapers bear
The harvest treasures home.
3 For Thou our burden hast removed,
And quelled the oppressor’s sway,
Quick as the slaughtered squadrons fell
In Midian’s evil day.
4 To us a Child of Hope is born,
To us a Son is given;
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven.
5 His Name shall be the Prince of Peace,
For evermore adored;
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
The great and mighty Lord.
6 His power increasing still shall spread,
His reign no end shall know:
Justice shall guard His throne above,
And peace abound below.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 9:2-7 Used With Tune: ST. LEONARD (SMART)

O one with God the Father
Author: William W. How Appears in 64 hymnals Topics: Christ Sun of Righteousness Lyrics: 1 O one with God the Father
In majesty and might,
The brightness of His glory,
Eternal Light of light;
O'er this our home of darkness
Thy rays are streaming now;
The shadows flee before Thee,
The world's true Light art Thou.
2 Yet, Lord, we see but darkly:--
O heavenly Light, arise,
Dispel these mists that shroud us,
And hide Thee from our eyes!
We long to track the footprints
That Thou Thyself hast trod:
We long to see the pathway
That leads to Thee, our God.
3 O Jesus, shine around us
With radiance of Thy grace;
O Jesus, turn upon us
The brightness of Thy face.
We need no star to guide us,
As on our way we press,
If Thou Thy light vouchsafest,
O Sun of righteousness.

and made us kings and priests to God.'
