No funeral fires blaze high; No idol song sings loud, As rolls the death-car by: The banner of the cross now waves Where Christian heralds made their graves. 4 Shout, rocky hills of Greece! The crescent head lies low; No Moslem flings his chain Around the Christian now; But Greek and Moslem join in one To praise the Savior, God the Son. 5 Shout, hills of Palestine! Have you forgot the groan, The spear, the thorn, the cross, The wine press trod alone, The dying prayer that rose from thee, Thou garden of Gethsemane? 6 Hail, glad millennial day! O, shout, ye heavens above! Today the nations sing The song, redeeming love: Redeeming love the song shall be: Hail, blessèd year of jubilee! Languages: English Tune Title: HETCH HETCHY

Missing

Author: Julia H. Thayer Hymnal: CYBER #8294 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: Late at night I saw the Shepherd Lyrics: 1 Late at night I saw the Shepherd Toiling slow along the hill, Though the flock below were gathered In the fold so warm and still; On His face I saw the anguish, In His locks the drops of night, As He searched the misty valleys, As He climbed the frosty heights. 2 Just one tender lamb was missing, When He called them all by name; While the others heard and followed This one, only, never came. Oft His voice rang thro’ the darkness Of that long, long night of pain, Oft He vainly paused to listen For an answering tone again. 3 Far away the truant sleeping, By the chasm of despair; Lay unconscious of its danger, Shivering in the mountain air. But at last the Shepherd found it, Found it ere in sleep it died, Took it in His loving bosom, And His soul was satisfied. This additional verse may be used with tunes of 87.87 meter: 4 Then I saw the eastern spaces Part before a shining throng, And the golden dome of morning Seemed to shatter into song.

Where all joy is kindly given, In the home of our dear Lord. 3 To those happy scenes we’re hastening, Tho’ we walk the vale of woe; Anguish deep our soul is chastening, But there is none where we go; There we’ll meet the loved departed, Who have only gone before; And ’mid fields and groves of glory, We’ll rejoice forevermore.

And ever in Christ abiding, There’s music in my soul. 3 My heart was full of sadness, Of over-weighty care, But now the oil of gladness Has turned to praise the prayer; And so I keep pursuing And press towards the goal; But praying, waiting, doing, There’s music in my soul; But praying, waiting, doing, There’s music in my soul. 4 And so my heart keeps singing Unto the Master’s Word, And it is always singing Just like a springtime bird. I know not what the harps may be When the heav’nly anthems roll, But I know that Heav’n is near to me, For there’s music in my soul; But I know that Heav’n is near to me, For there’s music in my soul.

Man Was Not Made To Mourn

Author: Salathial C. Kirk Hymnal: CYBER #10979 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: The poet sings a mournful song Lyrics: 1 The poet sings a mournful song, Whose melancholy part Has doubtless found an echo strong In many a human heart; But in the great Eternal Mind Where first a soul was born, No such stern fiat do I find As "Man was made to mourn." 2 When fresh from the Creative Hand, He stood a lordly king, To have and hold supreme command O’er every living thing. And Heav’n had given of its best An Eden to adorn, Man had not even there been blest, Had he been made to mourn. 3 God looked upon the finished earth: "Behold, ’tis good," He said; Nor thorn nor thistle yet had birth, Nor human tear been shed. ’Twas meant that man should live, not die, And he had never worn The stamp of immortality, Had he been made to mourn. 4 ’Twas not until a crafty foe, With rank and poisonous breath, Had entered Paradise below And sown the seeds of death; ’Twas not till man had disobeyed, And sin its fruit had borne. That Paradise began to fade And man began to mourn. 5 Alas! though Adam sinned and died, The seed which then took root, Has grown and scattered far and wide, And borne its bitter fruit; E’er since, life’s flowers of sweetest bloom Have grown beside the thorn, And from the cradle to the tomb, Man ceases not to mourn. 6 Through Eden’s long continued gloom This star of hope has gleamed: When Shiloh shall again have come And Paradise redeemed, When earth, as Heav’n, shall do His will, Then Satan shall be shorn Of all his potency for ill, And man shall cease to mourn. 7 Till then, we’ll wait, endure and toil, In sunshine or in showers, Content to know that when we call The promised help is ours; Some day, beyond this lower land, When earthly ties are torn, We’ll see and better understand— Man was not made to mourn.

March Of The Three Kings

Hymnal: CYBER #11372 First Line: This highway beheld at break of day Lyrics: 1 This highway beheld at break of day Three eastern kings go by upon their journey. This highway beheld at break of day Three eastern kings go by in rich array. With courage high all their guards passed by, Their knights at arms with the squires and the pages. With courage high all their guards passed by, With gilded armor shining like the sky. 2 Wondering then, I watched the mighty men, I stood amazed as all the knights were passing. Wondering then, I watched the mighty men, And as they passed I followed them again. They journeyed far to the guiding star That shone where Jesus was lying in a manger. And far away where the Christ Child lay They found the shepherds come to watch and pray. 3 Gaspard old had brought a gift of gold. He said, "My Lord, Thou art the King of Glory." Gaspard old gave Christ his gift of gold, And that this Child would conquer death, he told. Then incense sweet at the Christ Child’s feet King Melchior placed, saying, "Thou art God of armies. Although He lies here in humble guise, This little Child is God of earth and skies." 3 "You will die; for You, my Lord, I cry," Wept Balthazar, his gifts of myrrh presenting. "You will die, and in a tomb will lie, For on a cross You will be lifted high." All we today to the Child must pray, Who came to earth with His gifts of peace and blessing, To Him we pray, and our homage pay And with the kings we march along the way.
