O Day Of Resurrection

If they but rise, confess Him,
Proclaim Him Lord of all.

Rejoice forevermore;

Our Savior, King and Lord.

All times, so calm, so still,
And listening, hear the message
From God’s most Holy Hill. [Refrain]

Of victory over night. [Refrain] Used With Tune: PRIJEDOR Text Sources: Hymns We Love by Adam Geibel and Frederic W. Eickhoff (Philadelphia: Adam Geibel Music, 1907)
O Day Of Resurrection
From California's Vineyards
Author: Martin M. Knapp Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: From California’s vineyards Refrain First Line: We’ll heed the Savior’s summons Lyrics: 1 From California’s vineyards
To Carolina’s strand,
We hear the wail of anguish
That rises in our land,
From Maine to Mississippi,
We see the blight of sin,
And hear the groans of sorrow
Above our city’s din.
Refrain:
We’ll heed the Savior’s summons,
On wings of love we fly,
To bear the Gospel message
Ere at our door they die.
2 From Asia’s dark dominions,
And Afric’s burning sand,
Like mighty streams of water
They pour into our land.
From Europe’s crowded cities,
They flow from year to year,
And bring their crimes and vices
And superstitions here. [Refrain]
3 From many a haunt of evil,
From many a home of shame,
We must their souls deliver
From sin in Jesus’ name.
In many a street and alley,
They wander to and fro,
And swiftly down are sinking,
To realms of endless woe. [Refrain]
4 Glad tidings of salvation
We thus shall speed along,
Till every place of sorrow
Becomes a place of song;
Till slaves of vice and folly
At Jesus’ feet shall fall,
And claim His great salvation,
And crown Him Lord of all. [Refrain] Used With Tune: SANTIAGO Text Sources: Bible Songs of Salvation and Victory (Cincinnati: M. W. Knapp, 1902)

We worship you today
And sing the love amazing
That songs cannot repay;

At ev'ry gift you send,
At blessings without number
And mercies without end:
We lift our hearts before you
And wait upon your word,
We honor and adore you,
our great and mighty Lord.
2 Then hear, O gracious Savior,
Accept the love we bring,
That we who know your favor
May serve you as our King;
And whether our tomorrows
Be filled with good or ill,
We'll triumph through our sorrows
And rise to bless you still:
To marvel at your beauty
And glory in your ways,
And make a joyful duty
Our sacrifice of praise. Topics: General Music for Worship Peace Used With Tune: THAXTED

Oh, May The Days Of Childhood
Author: J. S. Thompson Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, may the days of childhood
Be ever free from care.
Like songsters in the wildwood,
Sing praises everywhere.
Let children sing the glory
Of God, the heav’nly King,
And tell the same "old story"
Of Christ’s own offering.
2 Let children feel they’re wanted
To labor, love and pray,
To fight the foe undaunted
In childhood’s early day.
Each child, whate’er his station,
Can take an active part
To save a heathen nation,
To purify their heart.
3 Then children send the "story"
Across the mighty sea,
’Twill gain a crown of glory
For all eternity.
Then let the days of childhood
Be ever free from care,
Like songsters in the wildwood,
Sing praises everywhere. Used With Tune: DICKERSON Text Sources: African Methodist Episcopal Hymn and tune Book (Philadelphia: African Methodist Episcopal Book Concern, 1898)

Ruth The Gleaner
Author: Julia H. Johnston Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Long ago to Bethlehem Refrain First Line: See the reapers bending low Lyrics: 1 Long ago to Bethlehem,
From afar returning,
Came Naomi, sore bereaved,
For the homeland yearning.
Ruth, her daughter, clave to her,
Idol gods forsaking;
Lo, she seeks the harvest field,
As the day is breaking.
Refrain:
See the reapers bending low,
See the wheat sheaves leaning;
See the Moabitess go,
Gleaning, gleaning, gleaning.
2 Happy Ruth with ready hands,
Gleans along the borders,
Let some handfuls fall for her,
Hear the master’s orders.
Sweet, unselfish, trustful one,
When the shadows lengthen,
Rich reward awaiteth thee,
Faith and hope to strengthen. [Refrain]
3 Like this gleaner may we be,
Faithful in our calling;
Other hands may bind the sheaves
Where the wheat is falling.
But the gleaners have their place,
Precious handfuls saving,
In the golden harvest fields,
Where the grain is waving. [Refrain] Used With Tune: EMBARCADERO Text Sources: Bible Study Songs, by Bertha F. Vella and Daniel. B. Towner (Boston: The Pilgrim Press, 1899)

A Little Word
Author: Mabel Taylor Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: ’Twas spoken by the wayside Lyrics: 1 ’Twas spoken by the wayside,
A little, trembling word,
And, though ’twas but a whisper,
It did not fall unheard.
It bade the night of sorrow
From weeping eyes depart,
It made a burden lighter,
And healed a breaking heart.
’Twas spoken by the wayside,
A little, trembling word,
And, though ’twas but a whisper,
It did not fall unheard.
2 ’Twas spoken by the wayside,
Where many came and passed,
And, swiftly as an arrow,
It reached its mark at last;
’Twas spoken by the wayside,
When evening shades were dim,
It told the love of Jesus,
And brought a soul to Him.
’Twas spoken by the wayside,
Where many came and passed,
And, swiftly as an arrow,
It reached its mark at last.
3 Go, stand ye by the wayside,
And breathe in fervent prayer
A word of love and kindness,
’Twill find an echo there.
Ye know not who may listen,
Or what that word may do;
But go in faith, believing
The Lord has work for you.
Go, stand ye by the wayside,
And breathe in fervent prayer
A word of love and kindness,
’Twill find an echo there. Used With Tune: MOUNT WASHINGTON Text Sources: On Joyful Wing, by John R. Sweney and William J. Kirkpatrick (Philadelphia: John J. Hood, 1886)

Go Bear The Joyful Tidings
Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Refrain First Line: Go sound the Gospel trumpet Lyrics: 1 Go bear the joyful tidings
That first, on Judah’s plain,
Awoke the wondering shepherds
To praise Messiah’s name;
Exalt the King of glory
Who left His throne on high,
And came to earth a ransom
For guilty man to die.
Refrain:
Go sound the Gospel trumpet
Beyond the rolling sea,
From chains of sin and darkness
To set the captive free.
2 Go in your Master’s vineyard,
And labor heart and hand;
The word of life eternal
Proclaim to every land—
The sweet and precious promise
To all who will believe,
Free grace and full salvation
For all who will receive. [Refrain]
3 Go tell the broken spirit
That vainly sighs for rest,
There is a home in glory,
A home for ever blest;
Go bring the lost to Jesus,
His tender love to share;
Go forth to every nation:
Immortal souls are there. [Refrain] Used With Tune: AFFTON Text Sources: Brightest and Best by Robert Lowry and W. Howard Doane (New York: Biglow & Main, 1875)

Whose hope is in the Lord;

And clouds our sky may dim,
He will not leave to perish
One soul that clings to Him.

Give praise to our Redeemer,
O magnify His grace;
Our everlasting portion,
Our sure abiding place.

Who trust His mighty arm;
Not all the hosts of darkness
His chosen ones can harm;
His arm that brought salvation
Defends them from above;
They rest within His mercy,
O’ershadowed by His love. [Refrain]
3 O love that stooped from Heaven
To lift us up to God,
O love, that to redeem us,
The path of sorrow trod;
Through yonder land of Beulah
Glad harps with rapture ring,
And numbers without number
Its boundless triumph sing. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ASHKELON Text Sources: The Gospel Choir No. 2, by Ira D. Sankey, James McGranahan and George C. Stebbins (Toronto: The Copp, Clark Company, 1895)
