The Signs Which God To Gideon Gave

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The signs which God to Gideon gave, His holy sovereignty made known; That He alone has power to save, And claims the glory as His own. 2 The dew which first the fleece had filled, When all the earth was dry around; Was from it afterwards withheld, And only fell upon the ground. 3 To Israel thus the heavenly dew Of saving truth was long restrained; Of which the Gentiles nothing knew, But dry and desolate remained. 4 But now the Gentiles have received The balmy dew of Gospel peace; And Israel, who His Spirit grieved, Is left a dry and empty fleece. 5 This dew still falls at His command, To keep His chosen plants alive; They shall, tho’ in a thirsty land, Like willows by the waters thrive. 6 But chiefly when His people meet, To hear His word and seek His face; The gentle dew, with influence sweet, Descends and nourishes their grace. 7 But ah! what numbers still are dead, Tho’ under means of grace they lie! The dew still falling round their head, And yet their heart untouched and dry. 8 Dear Savior, hear us when we call, To wrestling prayer an answer give; Pour down Thy dew upon us all, That all may feel, and all may live.

Lord, When in Simon's House of Yore

Author: Sarah E. Henshaw Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord, when in Simon’s house of yore, Thou with Thy friends didst sit at meat, Mary the precious spikenard bore, And poured it at Thy sacred feet. 2. Like incense sweet, the perfume rare, Rose through the house, and sought the skies; And Thou didst own with blessing there A woman’s loving sacrifice. 3. So unto Thee, O Lord, this day, A year of labor here we bring; So at Thy feet the gift we lay; Accept, O Lord, the offering. Used With Tune: BERA
