Why, On The Bending Willows Hung

Author: James Joyce Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 88 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why, on the bending willows hung, Israel! still sleeps thy tuneful string? Still mute remains thy silent tongue, And Zion’s song denies to sing? 2 Awake! thy sweetest raptures raise, Let harp and voice unite their strains; Thy promised king His scepter sways, Jesus, thine own Messiah, reigns! 3 No taunting foes the song require, No strangers mock thy captive chain; But friends provoke the silent lyre, And brethren ask the holy strain. 4 Nor fear thy Salem’s hills to wrong, If other lands thy triumph share; A heavenly city claims thy song, A brighter Salem rises there. 5 By foreign streams no longer roam, Nor, weeping, think of Jordan’s flood; In every clime behold a home, In every temple see thy God.

Still One In Life, And One In Death

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals First Line: Still one in life and one in death Lyrics: 1 Still one in life and one in death, One in our hope of rest above; One in our joy, our trust, our faith, One in each other’s faithful love. 2 Yet must we part, and parting, weep; What else has earth for us in store? Our farewell pangs, how sharp and deep! Our farewell words, how sad and sore! 3 Yet shall we meet again in peace, To sing the song of festal joy, Where none shall bid our gladness cease, And none our fellowship destroy. 4 Where none shall beckon us away, Nor bid our festival be done; Our meeting-time th’eternal day, Our meeting-place th’eternal throne. 5 There, hand in hand, firm-linked at last, And, heart to heart, enfolded all, We’ll smile upon the troubled past, And wonder why we wept at all.
