When God Revealed His Gracious Name

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 201 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 When GOD revealed His gracious name, and changed my mournful state, my rapture seemed a pleasing dream, the grace appeared so great. 2 The world beheld the glorious change, and did Thy hand confess; my tongue broke out in unknown strains, and sung surprising grace. 3 "Great is the work," my neighbors cried, and owned Thy pow'r divine; "Great is the work," my heart replied, "and be the glory Thine." 4 The LORD can clear the darkest skies, can give us day for night, make drops of sacred sorrow rise to rivers of delight. 5 Let those that sow in sadness wait till the fair harvest come, they shall confess their sheaves are great, and shout the blessings home. 6 Though seed lie buried long in dust, it shan't deceive their hope; the precious grain can ne'er be lost, for grace insures the crop.

When Sion's God her Sons recall'd

Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 When Sion's God her Sons recall'd from long Captivity, It seem'd at first a pleasing Dream of what we wish'd to see: 2 But soon, in unaccustom'd Mirth, we did our Voice employ, And sung our great Creator's Praise in thankful Hymns of Joy. Our Heathen Foes repining stood, yet were compell'd to own, That great and wond'rous was the Work our God for us had done. 3 'Twas great, say then, 'twas wond'rous great, much more should we confess; The Lord has done great Things, whereof we reap the glad Success. 4 To us bring back the Remnant, Lord, of Isr'el's captive Bands, More welcome than refreshing Show'rs to parch'd and thirsty Lands. 5 That we, whose Work commenc'd in Tears, may see our Labours thrive, 'Till finish'd with Success, to make our drooping Hearts revive. 6 Tho' he desponds that sows his Grain, yet doubtless he shall come To bind his full-ear'd Sheaves, and bring the joyful Harvest home.

When the King Shall Come Again

Author: Christopher Idle (1938-) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again, all his power revealing; splendour shall announce his reign, life and joy and healing: earth no longer in decay, hope no more frustrated; this is God's redemption day longingly awaited. 2 In the desert, trees take root, fresh from God's creation; plants and flowers and sweetest fruit join the celebration; rivers spring up from the earth, barren lands adorning. Valleys, this is your new birth; mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees; fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful. Deaf ears hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping! 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people, homeward bound all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!

We Are Sowing

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 126:5-6 Lyrics: 1. We are sowing, daily sowing Countless seeds of good and ill, Scattered on the level lowland, Cast upon the windy hill; Seeds that sink in rich, brown furrows, Soft with heaven’s gracious rain; Seeds that rest upon the surface Of the dry, unyielding plain; 2. Seeds that fall amid the stillness Of the lonely mountain glen; Seeds cast out in crowded places, Trodden under foot of men; Seeds by idle hearts forgotten, Flung at random on the air; Seeds by faithful souls remembered, Sown in tears and love and prayer; 3. Seeds that lie unchanged, unquickened, Lifeless on the teeming mold; Seeds that live and grow and flourish When the sower’s hand is cold. By a whisper sow we blessings; By a breath we scatter strife. In our words and thoughts and actions Lie the seeds of death and life. 4. Thou who knowest all our weakness, Leave us not to sow alone! Bid thine angels guard the furrows Where the precious grain is sown, Till the fields are crown’d with glory, Filled with mellow, ripened ears, Filled with fruit of life eternal From the seed we sowed in tears.
