At once my soul revives and sings,
And yields no more to sad complaints.

Sweet Is the Sunlight After Rain
Author: W. Morley Punshon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sweet is the sunlight after rain,
And sweet the sleep which follows pain;
And sweetly steals the Sabbath rest
Upon the world’s work-wearied breast.

The poor man’s birthright and his balm;
God’s witness of celestial thing;
A sun with healing in its wings.
3. New rising in this gospel time,
And in its sevenfold light sublime,
Blest day of God! we hail its dawn,
To gratitude and worship drawn.

Should with the sacred hours abide;
At work for God, in loved employ,
We lose the duty in the joy.

And make us strong in faith to live;
Our utmost, sorest need supply,
And make us strong in faith to die. Used With Tune: ARIZONA Text Sources: Sabbath Chimes 1867

Oft Has My Youthful Mind Been Led
Author: Chester V. Adgate, 1796-1833 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oft has my youthful mind been led
Some foreign region for to tread,
The vast expanse I would explore,
From western isles to Ganges’ shore.
2 I’d see the once most Christian ground,
Where first the Gospel’s trump did sound,
I’d see the now demolished mass,
The scant remains of polished Greece.
3 The place where thousands once did dwell,
Has now become the hermit’s cell:
A shepherd here and there resides,
With serpents, moles, and feathered tribes.
4 I then would see the Egyptian plains,
Once occupied by frugal swains.
I there would pause and view awhile,
The flowing of the river Nile.
5 From thence I’d see old Jordan’s flood,
Where Israel knew their Savior God;
Where John baptized a numerous host,
And circumcision’s seal was lost.
6 To Gethsem’ne’s garden I then would go,
Where blood and tears for me did flow;
That consecrated place I’d see,
Where Jesus kneeled and prayed for me.
7 Then Calvary’s skully mount I’d see,
Where Savior Jesus died for me;
I’d view the place where once He stood,
And drop a tear where He dropped blood. Used With Tune: ARIZONA

The World May Boast The Brilliant Light
Author: H. A. César Malan, 1787-1864; Jane E. Arnold Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The world may boast the brilliant light
Of science, which oft deceives;
But oft, in clouds of error’s night
Her dazzled votaries she leaves.
2 What shall man’s intellect avail,
When God His judgments shall display?
How soon its boasted power shall fail
Before the terrors of that day.
3 Jesus! Thy words alone impart
Eternal truth and sure repose;
No doubts shall overwhelm the heart,
Which Thee and Thy salvation knows.
4 How precious to my thirsting soul
The truths Thy sacred words convey;
Mighty to strengthen and console,
And which shall never pass away.
5 Here will I rest, beneath Thy cross,
Where faith the way of life discerns,
And counting all things else but loss,
My soul eternal wisdom learns. Used With Tune: ARIZONA Text Sources: Lyra Evangelica (London: John F. Shaw,1866)

Great Former of This Various Frame

Our souls adore Thine awful name;
And bow and tremble while they praise
The Ancient of eternal days.
2. Thou, Lord, with unsurprised survey,
Saw’st nature rising yesterday;
And, as tomorrow, shall Thine eye
See earth and stars in ruin lie.
3. Beyond an angel’s vision bright,
Thou dwell’st in self existent light;
Which shines, with undiminished ray,
While suns and worlds in smoke decay.
4. Our days a transient period run,
And change with every circling sun;
And, in the firmest state we boast,
A moth can crush us into dust.
5. But let the creatures fall around;
Let death consign us to the ground;
Let the last general flame arise,
And melt the arches of the skies:
6. Calm as the summer’s ocean, we
Can all the wreck of nature see,
While grace secures us an abode,
Unshaken as the throne of God. Used With Tune: ARIZONA

Father in heaven, who lovest all

Our love and toil in the years to be,
When we are grown and take our place
As men and women with our race.]

O help Thy children when they call;
That they may build from age to age
An undefiled heritage.
2 Teach us to bear the yoke in youth,
With steadfastness and careful truth;
That, in our time, Thy grace may give
The truth whereby the nations live.
3 Teach us to rule ourselves alway,
Controlled and cleanly night and day;
That we may bring, if need arise,
No maimed or worthless sacrifice.
4 Teach us to look in all our ends
On Thee for Judge, and not our friends;
That we, with Thee, may walk uncowed
By fear or favour of the crowd.
5 Teach us the strength that cannot seek,
By deed or thought, to hurt the weak;
That, under Thee, we may possess
Man's strength to comfort man's distress.
6 Teach us delight in simple things,
And mirth that has no bitter springs;
Forgiveness free of evil done,
And love to all men 'neath the sun.
[Land of our birth, our faith, our pride,
For whose dear sake our fathers died;
O Motherland, we pledge to thee
Head, heart, and hand through the years to be.]

The Great Jehovah! Who Shall Dare
Author: Philip Doddridge Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The great Jehovah! Who shall dare
With Him attempt unequal war?
What heart of steel shall dare t’oppose,
And league among His hardened foes?
2 At His command the lightnings dart,
And swift transfix the rebel heart;
Earth trembles at His look, and cleaves,
And legions sink in living graves.
3 Where are the haughty monarchs now,
Who scorned His word with lowering brow?
Where are the trophies of their reigns?
Or where the ruin’s last remains?
4 See Pharaoh sinking in the tide!
See Babel’s tyrant, mad with pride,
Graze with the beasts! Hear Herod roar,
While worms his deity devour!
5 See, from the turrets of the skies,
Tall cherubs sink, no more to rise;
And trace their rank on thrones of light,
By heavier chains, and darker night.
6 Great God! and shall this soul of mine
Presume to challenge wrath divine?
Trembling I seek Thy mercy-seat,
And lay my weapons at Thy feet. Used With Tune: ARIZONA Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)
