See from Bethany advancing Joyful throngs by Jesus led; Loud hosannas rend the heavens, Garments rich His pathway spread; Shout, ye saints! your triumph sing! Blessèd is the coming king! 2. Now the sacred gates are lifted, Zion’s king is passing through. All the glory of the city And the temple rise to view; Zion, shout, your Savior own, David’s Son, on David’s throne! 3. King of peace, Jehovah’s chosen! King with highest glory crowned! Honored by the hosts of Heaven, By the earthly Zion owned. Take Thy scepter, rule the throng Praising Thee with hallowed song! 4. Sad, ah, sad the changeful morrow, Bitter scorn for ardent praise; They who’d build a throne of glory, Now a cruel cross upraise. Yet, O Zion, triumph sing! Christ betrayed is Savior, king!

Herdsmen Keeping Lonely Vigil

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Herdsmen keeping lonely vigil While the earth in slumber lay; Eager scanned the far horizon, For the coming of the day; And a blaze of heavenly light, Rent the curtains of the night. 2 Never shone a morn so radiant Since creation had its birth, And the orb of day in fullness Shed its primal light on earth, And the morning stars abroad, Triumphed with the sons of God. 3 Stay your coming, dawn and sunrise, For a Sun of high renown Pours His light upon our darkness, And this Orb shall ne’er go down; Now Immanuel, Christ our Lord, Dwells on earth, Incarnate Word. Lift your eyes, ye lonely watchers, See the host in raiment white; List, the strains of heavenly music Mingling with transcendent light; Ne’er such music waked a morn; Sons of men! the Christ is born. 4 Weary hearts that dwell in darkness! Cast your dismal fears away; Lo, the Sun on earth is shining, For the morn has risen today, And the light that hailed His birth, Pours its glory on the earth.

John Brownlie

1857 - 1925 Translator of "Herdsmen Keeping Lonely Vigil" in The Cyber Hymnal Brownlie, John, was born at Glasgow, Aug. 6, 1857, and was educated at Glasgow University, and at the Free Church College in the same city. In 1884 he was licensed by the Presbytery of Glasgow; in 1885 he became Assistant Minister of the Free Church, Portpatrick, and on the death of the Senior Minister in 1890 he entered upon the full charge of the Church there. He has interested himself in educational matters, became a Member of the local School Board in 1888, a governor of Stranraer High School in 1897, and Chairman of the governors in 1901. His hymnological works are:— 1. The Hymns and Hymnwriters of the [Scottish] Church Hymnary, 1899. This is a biographical, historical, and critical companion to that hymnal, and is well done and accurate. 2. Hymns of Our Pilgrimage, 1889; Zionward; Hymns of the Pilgrim Life, 1890; and Pilgrim Songs, 1892. These are original hymns. The Rest of God, 1894, a poem in three parts. 3. Hymns of the Early Church, Being Translations from the Poetry of the Latin Church, arranged in the Order of the Christian Year . . . 1896. 4. Hymns from East and West, Being Translations from the Poetry of the Latin and Greek Churches . . . 1898. 5. Hymns of the Greek Church, Translated with Introduction and Notes, 1900. Second Series: Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, Translated from the Service Books, with Introductory Chapters on the History, Doctrine and Worship of the Church, 1902. Third Series: Hymns from the Greek Office Books, Together with Centos and Suggestions, 1904. Fourth Series: Hymns from the East, Being Centos and Suggestions from the Office Books of the Holy Eastern Church, 1906. Of Mr. Brownlie's original hymns the following have come into common use:— 1. Ever onward, ever upward. Aspiration. From Pilgrim Songs, 3rd Series, 1892, p. 11. 2. Girt with heavenly armour. The Armour of God. Pilgrim Songs, 3rd Series, 1892, p. 49. 3. Hark! the voice of angels. Praise. Pilgrim Songs, 3rd Series, 1892, p. 57. 4. O bind me with Thy bonds, my Lord. The Divine Yoke. From Hymns of our Pilgrimage, 1889, p. 27. 5. O God, Thy glory gilds the sun. Adoration. From Zionward, &c, 1890, p. 33. 6. Spake my heart by sorrow smitten. Seeking God. From Pilgrim Songs, 3rd series, 1892, p. 25. 7. The flowers have closed their eyes. Evening Pilgrim Songs, 3rd series, 1892, p. 6tf. 8. There is a song which the angels sing. The Angels' Song. A cento from the poem The Best of God, 1894, p. 36. 9. Thou art my Portion, saith my soul. God, the Portion of His People. From Pilgrim Songs, 1892, p. 45. 10. Close beside the heart that loves me. Resting in God. This is one of the author's "Suggestions " based upon the spirit rather than the words of portions of the Greek Offices. It was given in Hymns of the Holy Eastern Church, 1902, p. 128. Mr. Brownlie's translations from the Latin have been adopted in the hymnals to a limited extent only, mainly because the ground had been so extensively and successfully covered by former translators. With the translations from the Greek the case was different, as for popular use few translations were available in addition to the well known and widely used renderings by Dr. Neale. Mr. Brownlie's translations have all the beauty, simplicity, earnestness, and elevation of thought and feeling which characterise the originals. Their suitability for general use is evidenced in the fact that the number found in the most recently published hymn-books, including Church Hymns, 1903, The New Office Hymn Book, 1905, and The English Hymnal, 1906, almost equal in number those by Dr. Neale. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
