How Hast Thou, Lord, From Year To Year

Author: Thomas Gibbons, 1720-1785 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How hast Thou, Lord, from year to year, Our land with plenty crowned! And generous fruit and golden grain Have spread their riches round. 2 But we Thy mercies have abused To more abounding crimes; What heights, what daring heights in sin Disgrace and mark our times! 3 Equal, though awful, is the doom, That fierce descending rain Should into inundations swell, And crush the rising grain! 4 How just, that in the autumn’s reign, When we had hoped to reap, Our fields of sorrow and despair Should lie a hideous heap! 5 But Lord, have mercy on our land, Those floods of vengeance stay: Dispel these glooms, and let the sun Shine in unclouded day! 6 To Thee alone we look for help; None else of dew or rain Can give the world the smallest drop Or smallest drop restrain.

Behold This Sodom Here Below

Author: Anna K. Beeman Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Behold this Sodom here below Lyrics: 1 Behold this Sodom here below, I leave it all to you, Hinder me not, for I must go, My Jesus to pursue. 2 My worldly cares will prove my woe, I bid them all adieu; Hinder me not, for I must go, My Jesus to pursue. 3 The word of God hath brought me low, Being conscious it is true; Hinder me not for I must go, My Jesus to pursue. 4 Not all my prayers nor tears that flow, Can form my soul anew; Hinder me not, for I must go, My Jesus to pursue. 5 I hear the terms are very low, But money will not do; Hinder me not, for I must go, My Jesus to pursue. 6 In all my righteousness I know, There’s nothing that is true; Hinder me not, for I must go, My Jesus to pursue. 7 Like Ab’ram’s servant I must know, And like him would prove true; Hinder me not, for I must go, My Jesus to pursue.

Arise And Shine, Your Light Is Come

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Arise and shine, your light is come, Fair islands of the West! Awake and sing, once deaf and dumb, Now islands of the blest. 2 Shine, for the glory of the Lord Your coral reefs surrounds: Sing, for the trumpet of His word O’er all your ocean sounds. 3 Poor Africa! through thy waste sands, Where Calvary’s fountain flows, Deserts become Immanuel’s lands, And blossom like the rose. 4 India, beneath the chariot wheels Of Juggernaut o’erthrown, Thy heart a quickening spirit feels, A pulse beats through the stone. 5 O China! see thy quaking wall: Foredoomed by Heav’n’s decree, A hand is writing on it— "Fall!" A voice goes forth— "Be free!" 6 Ye pagan tribes! of every race, Clime, country, language, hue, Believe, obey, be saved by grace, The Gospel speaks to you. 7 Father of lights! Thy will be done Here, as by saints above; Give earth’s whole empire to Thy Son, For He must reign in love. 8 Reign, till beneath His feet, all foes Forever vanquished lie; And the last judgment’s sentence close The book of prophecy.
