Israel, Israel, God is Calling

Appears in 14 hymnals Refrain First Line: Come to Zion Lyrics: 1. Israel, Israel, God is calling; Calling thee from lands of woe; Babylon the great is falling, God shall all her tow'rs o'erthrow, Come to Zion Ere his floods of anger flow. 2. Israel, Israel, God is speaking; Hear your great Deliv'rer's voice! Now a glorious morn is breaking For the people of his choice. Come to Zion, And within her walls rejoice. 3. Israel, angels are descending From celestial worlds on high, And to man their powers extending, That the Saints may homeward fly. Come to Zion, For your coming Lord is nigh. 4. Israel, Israel, Canst thou linger Still in error's gloomy ways? Mark how judgment's pointing finger Justifies no vain delays! Come to Zion, Zion's walls shall ring with praise.

Glorious things are sung of Zion

Author: W. W. Phelps, 1792-1872 Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of sung of Zion, Enoch's city seen of old, Where the righteous, being perfect, Walked with God in streets of godl' Love and virtue, faith and wisdeom Grace and gifts were all combined; As himself each loved his neighbor, All were of one heart and mind. 2 Then the towers of Zion glittered Like the sun in yonder sky, And the wicked stood and trembled, Filled with wonder and surprise. Then their faith and works were prefect; Lo, they followed their great head! So the city went to heaven, And the world said, "Zion's fled!" 3 When the Lord returns with Zion, And they hear the watchmen cry, Then the saints will be united, And they'll all see eye to eye; Then they'll mingle with the angels, And the Lord will bless his own; Then the earth will be as heaven; They shall now as they are know.

Dark And Thorny Is The Desert

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 137 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dark and thorny is the desert Through which pilgrims make their way; Yet beyond this vale of sorrow, Lie the fields of endless day. Fiends loud howling in the tempest Make them tremble as they go— And the fiery darts of Satan Often lay their courage low. 2 Oh! young soldiers, do you murmur At the troubles of the way? Do your hearts begin to fail you And your vigor to decay? Jesus, Jesus shall defend you— He shall lead you to His throne, He that dyed His garments for you, And the wine press trod alone. 3 He whose thunder shakes creation, He that bids the planets roll, He who rides upon the tempest, And whose scepter sways the whole; Round Him see ten thousand angels, Ready to receive command; They are ever watching round you, ’Till you reach the heavenly land. 4 There, on flowery fields of pleasure, And the hills of endless rest— Joy and peace and love, shall ever Reign and triumph in your breast; Who can paint the scenes of glory, Where the ransomed dwell on high, Where the golden harps forever Sound redemption round the sky. 5 There a million flaming seraphs Fly across the heavenly plain; There they sing immortal praises, Glory! Glory! is their strain. But methinks a sweeter concert Makes the crystal arches ring, And a song is heard in Zion Which the angels cannot sing! 6 See the heavenly host in rapture, Gaze upon this shining band— Wondering at their costly garments And the laurels in their hand. There upon the golden pavement, See the ransomed march along— While the splendid courts of glory Sweetly echo to their song. 7 But methinks, in whiter garments, Some are marching on before; Oh! their crowns, how bright they sparkle, Such as monarchs never wore. They were shepherds in My pastures, Faithful in My cause below; They shall now, in peace forever, Sit on thrones as white as snow. 8 Round them see the lambs they gathered, See the flocks they fed with care; Now they’re come to richer pastures; Jesus is their shepherd there. Hail! ye happy, happy spirits! Death no more shall make you fear; Sin and sorrow, pain and anguish, Shall no more disturb you there. 9 Sinners here shall not deride you, Tho’ they vexed you while below; Now they’re gone, and gone forever, To the gulf of endless woe. Closed in that eternal prison, They can injure you no more; Hell, alas, is all around them! And eternity before! 10 There they find a God of justice, Whom they once refused to fear; There a lake of burning sulfur, Tho’ they disbelieved it here; Hark! methinks I hear from Tophet, Cries more dreadful than the rest; Some appear in greater anguish, And with sorer vengeance pressed. 11 "Ah!" they cry, "we heard the Gospel, Where the Lord revived His cause; Saw how numbers bowed before Him, Yet we still refused His laws. We rejected every warning— Scorned the penitential tear; We despised the calls of mercy— Now we lie in fetters here." 12 Sinners, will you come to Jesus? Oh! that you would come today; Come, before the sword of vengeance Cuts you down upon the way. Soon the harvest may be gathered, And the sheaves collected home; Then, in vain you’ll call for mercy, And, in vain, may wish to come.
