The Star in the East anew.

Hymnal: The Cluster of Spiritual Songs, Divine Hymns and Sacred Poems #CLXIII (1823) Meter: 11.8 First Line: See, see in the east a new glory ascends Lyrics: 1. See! see in the east a new glory ascends, And pours its effulgence afar; It glides on sublime, and earth's uttermost ends Acknowledge Immanuel's star. 2. O'er the 'Jew trodden down,' as the prophets foretold, It travels with lustre serene; While heathens transform'd, as intent they behold, Are singing, 'The star we have seen.' 3. Hark! from yonder bold hills how the Syrians shout, While Comoron echoes the lay; The German and Dane spread the tidings about, And jubilees welcome the day. 4. From the martyr'd Abdallah see Sabet retire, Arabian darkness he fears! Love and zeal for a Saviour his bosom inspire, And the christian translator appears. 5. And still, see the day-star its journey pursue, Even Brahmans pronounce it divine; Jehovah incarnate shall multitudes view, And scatter their gifts at his shrine. 6. Ye Herods, in vain do you menace and rage, And vain is hell's horrible roar; Time, meeting with Prophecy, opens her page, And bids all the nations adore. 7. Roll on, blessed Star, fill the world with thy light, The saints are expecting thy rays; Bid the latter-day morning ascend in its might, And shine on our incense of praise.

O Thou in whose presence my soul takes delight

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #15 (1854) Meter: 11.8 Lyrics: 1. O Thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom in affliction I call, My comfort by day, and my song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all! 2. Where dost thou at noontide resort with thy sheep, To feed them in pastures of love? For why in the valley of death should I weep, Alone in this wilderness rove? 3. O why should I wander an alien from thee, Or cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. 4. Ye daughters of Zion, declare, have you seen The star that on Israel shone? Say, if in your tents my Beloved has been, And where with his flocks he hath gone. 5. This is my beloved, his form is divine, His vestments shed odors around; The locks on his head are as grapes on the vine, When autumn with plenty is crowned. 6. The roses of Sharon, the lilies that grow In vales on the banks of the streams; His cheeks in the beauty of excellence blow, His eye all invitingly beams. 7. His voice, as the sound of a dulcimer sweet, Is heard through the shadow of death, The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with his breath. 8. His lips as a fountain of righteousness flow, That waters the garden of grace, From which their salvation the gentiles shall know And bask in the smiles of his face. 9. Love sits on his eyelid and scatters delight, Through all the bright mansions on high; Their faces the cherubim veil in his sight, And tremble with fulness of joy. 10. He looks! and ten thousands of angels rejoice, And myriads wait for his word; He speaks! and eternity, filled with his voice, Re-echoes the praise of the her Lord.

Ye objects of sense, And enjoyments of time

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #321 (1854) Meter: 11.8 Lyrics: 1. Ye objects of sense, and enjoyments of time, Which oft have delighted my heart, I soon shall exchange you for views more sublime, For joys that shall never depart. 2. Thou Lord of the day, and thou Queen of the night, To me ye no longer are known, I soon shall behold with increasing delight, A sun that shall never go down. 3. Ye wonderful orbs that astonish my eyes Your glories recede from my sight, I soon shall contemplate more beautiful skies, And stars more resplendently bright. 4. Ye mountains and valleys, groves, rivers and plains, Thou earth and thou ocean, adieu! More permanent regions where righteousness reigns, Present their bright hills to my view. 5. My loved habitation and gardens adieu, No longer my footsteps ye greet, A mansion celestial stands full in my view, And paradise welcomes my feet. Languages: English Tune Title: CONCORD (Caldwell)

His voice as the sound of th dulcimer sweet

Hymnal: The Southern Harmony, and Musical Companion (New ed. thoroughly rev. and much enl.) #322 (1854) Meter: 11.8 First Line: His voice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet Lyrics: 1. His voice as the sound of the dulcimer sweet, Is heard through the shadows of death; The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with his breath. His lips as the fountain of righteousness flow, That waters the garden of grace; From which their salvation the Gentiles shall know, And bask in the smiles of his face. 2. O! thou in whose presence my soul takes delight, On whom, in affliction, I call; My comfort by day, and my song in the night, My hope, my salvation, my all— Where dost thou at noontide resort with thy sheep, To feed on the pastures of love? Say why in the valley of death should I weep, Or alone in the wilderness rove? 3. O! why should I wander an alien from thee, And cry in the desert for bread? Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see, And smile at the tears I have shed. Ye daughters of Zion, declare, have you seen The Star that on Israel shone? Say if in your tents my beloved has been, And where, with his flock, he is gone? 4. "What is thy Beloved, thou dignified fair? What excellent beauties has he? His charms and perfections be pleased to declare, That we may embrace him with thee." This is my Beloved, his form is divine; His vestments shed odor around; The locks on his head are as grapes on the vine, When autumn with plenty is crowned. 5. The roses of Sharon, the lilies that grow In the vales, on the banks of the streams, On his cheeks in the beauty of excellence blow, And his eyes are as quivers of beams. His voice as the sound of the dulcimer, sweet, Is heard through the shadows of death; The cedars of Lebanon bow at his feet, The air is perfumed with his breath.
