Drummond Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 44 hymnals First Line: A voice from the desert comes awful and shrill Lyrics: 1 A voice from the desert comes awful and shrill: The Lord is advancing—prepare ye the way; The word of Jehovah He comes to fulfill, And o’er the dark world pour the splendor of day. 2 Bring down the proud mountain, though towering to Heaven, And be the low valley exalted on high! The rough path and crooked be made smooth and even, For, Sion, your king, your Redeemer, is nigh. 3 The beams of salvation His progress illume, The lone, dreary wilderness sings of her God; The rose and the myrtle will suddenly bloom, The olive of peace spread its branches abroa Used With Tune: GORDON Text Sources: Who Are the Happy?, 1818

Approach Not The Altar

Author: Frances S. Osgood Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul Lyrics: 1 Approach not the altar with gloom in thy soul, Nor let thy feet falter from terror’s control! God loves not the sadness of fear and mistrust; Oh! serve Him with gladness, the gentle, the Just! 2 His bounty is tender, His being is love, His smile fills with splendor the blue arch above! Confiding, believing, oh! enter always His courts with thanksgiving, His portals with praise! 3 Nor come to the temple with pride in thy mien; But lowly and simple in courage serene, Bring meekly before Him the faith of a child, Bow down and adore Him with heart undefiled!
