To distant climes the tidings bear,
And plant the rose of Sharon there."

Melt and reclaim my wandering soul. Used With Tune: GERMANY Text Sources: Morning Thoughts on the Gospel of St. Matthew, 1824

Th’immortal armies of the sky;

Appear before Thy awful face;
Trembling they strike the golden lyre,

Impressed the image of its God.

Mercy withholds Thy lifted hand.

To all, who hate or bless Thy sway,
Thou bidd’st descend the fruitful shower.

Shall feel Thee a consuming fire,
How sweet the joys, the crown how bright,
Of those who to Thy love aspire!

Ye hosts that to His court belong,
Cherubic choirs, seraphic flames,
Awake the everlasting song!

The power omnipotent is Thine,
And when created nature dies,
Thy never-ceasing glories shine. Used With Tune: GERMANY Text Sources: Neues geistreiches Gesangbuch, by Johann A. Freylinghausen, 1714

Where Cross the Crowded Ways of Life
Author: Frank M. North Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 377 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Where cross the crowded ways of life,
Where sound the cries of race and clan

We hear your voice, O Son of Man.

On shadowed thresholds dark with fears,
From paths where hide the lures of greed,
We catch the vision of Your tears.

From woman’s grief, man’s burdened toil,
From famished souls, from sorrow’s stress,
Your heart has never known recoil.

Still holds the freshness of Your grace;
Yet long these multitudes to view
The sweet compassion of Your face.

Make haste to heal these hearts of pain;
Among these restless throngs abide;
O tread the city’s streets again.
6. Till sons of men shall learn Your love
And follow where Your feet have trod,
Till, glorious from Your Heaven above,
Shall come the city of our God! Used With Tune: GERMANY Text Sources: The Christian City, 1903

Why Do the Proud Insult the Poor?
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: Why do the proud insult the poor Lyrics: 1. Why do the proud insult the poor,
And boast the large estates they have?
How vain are riches to secure
Their haughty owners from the grave!
2. They can’t redeem one hour from death,
With all the wealth in which they trust;
Nor give a dying brother breath,
When God commands him down to dust.
3. There the dark earth and dismal shade
Shall clasp their naked bodies round;
That flesh, so delicately fed,
Lies cold and molders in the ground.
4. Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies,
Laid in the grave for worms to eat;
The saints shall in the morning rise,
And find th’oppressor at their feet.
5. His honors perish in the dust,
And pomp and beauty, birth and blood:
That glorious day exalts the just
To full dominion o’er the proud.
6. My Savior shall my life restore,
And raise me from my dark abode;
My flesh and soul shall part no more,
But dwell for ever near my God. Used With Tune: GERMANY Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
