Zion stands with hills surrounded

Author: T. Kelly Hymnal: LHPN1913 #83 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Lyrics: 1 Zion stands with hills surrounded; Zion kept by power divine All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine. Happy Zion, Happy Zion, What a favored lot is thine! 2 Every human tie may perish; Friend to friend unfaithful prove; Mothers cease their own to cherish; Heaven and earth at last remove: But no changes, But no changes Can attend Jehovah’s love. 3 In the furnace God may prove thee, Thence to bring thee forth more bright, But can never cease to love thee; Thou art precious in His sight: God is with thee: God is with thee: God, thine everlasting light.

Lord of our life, and God of our salvation

Author: Philip Pusey; M. A. von Löwenstern Hymnal: LHPN1913 #84 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Lord of our life, and God of our salvation, Star of our night, and hope of every nation, Hear and receive Thy Church's supplication, Lord God Almighty. 2 See round Thine Ark the hungry billows curling, See how Thy foes their banners are unfurling; Lord, while their darts envenomed they are hurling, Thou canst preserve us. 3 Lord, Thou canst help when earthly armor faileth; Lord, Thou canst save when deadly sin assaileth; Lord, o'er Thy Church nor death nor hell prevaileth; Grant us Thy peace, Lord. 4 Peace in our hearts, our evil thoughts assuaging, Peace in Thy Church where brothers are engaging, Peace, when the world its busy war is waging, Send us, O Savior. 5 Grant us Thy help till foes are backward driven; Grant them Thy truth, that they may be forgiven; Grant peace on earth, and, after we have striven, Peace in Thy heaven.

Be not dismayed, thou little flock

Author: J. M. Altenburg Hymnal: LHPN1913 #85 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Be not dismayed, thou little flock, Although the foe's fierce battle-shock, Loud on all sides, assail thee; Though o'er thy fall they laugh secure, Their triumph cannot long endure: Let not thy courage fail thee. 2 Thy cause is God's; go at His call, And to His hand commit thy all; Fear thou no ill impending: His Gideon shall arise for thee, God's word and people manfully, In God's own time defending. 3 Our hope is sure in Jesus' might; Against themselves the godless fight, Themselves, not us, distressing; Shame and contempt their lot shall be; God is with us, with Him are we, To us belongs His blessing.

Through the night of doubt and sorrow

Author: B. S. Ingemann Hymnal: LHPN1913 #86 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, through the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Brightening all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers! Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon, shall come the great awaking, Soon the rending of the tomb, Then the scattering of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

Rise, ye children of salvation

Author: Justus Falckner Hymnal: LHPN1913 #87 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Rise, ye children of salvation, All who cleave to Christ the Head! Wake, arise, O mighty nation, Ere the foe on Zion tread: He draws nigh, and would defy All the hosts of God most high. 2 Saints and heroes, long before us, Firmly on this ground have stood; See their banner waving o’er us, Conquerors through the Savior’s blood! Ground we hold, whereon of old, Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of His word; Spear and shield, on battlefield, His great name: We cannot yield. 4 When His servants stand before Him, Each receiving his reward, When His saints in light adore Him, Giving glory to the Lord, "Victory!" our cry shall be, Like the thunder of the sea.

Glorious things of thee are spoken

Author: J. Newton Hymnal: LHPN1913 #88 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Glorious things of thee are spoken, Zion, city of our God; He, whose word cannot be broken, Formed thee for His own abode, On the Rock of Ages founded, What can shake thy sure repose! With salvation's walls surrounded, Thou may'st smile at all thy foes. 2 See the streams of living waters Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters, And all fear of want remove. Who can faint while such a river Ever flows their thirst to assuage? Grace, which like the Lord, the giver, Never fails from age to age. 3 Round each habitation hovering, See the cloud and fire appear, For a glory and a covering Showing that the Lord is near. Thus they march, the pillar leading, Light by night and shade by day: Daily on the manna feeding Which He gives them when they pray. 4 Savior, if of Zion's city I, through grace, a member am, Let the world deride or pity, I will glory in Thy name. Fading is the worldling's pleasure, All his boasted pomp and show; Solid joys and lasting treasure None but Zion's children know.

Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall, For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. 5 Jesus, Thou Friend divine, Our Savior and our King, Thy hand from every snare and foe Shall great deliverance bring. 6 Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.

O Rock of Ages, one foundation

Author: H. A. Martin Hymnal: LHPN1913 #91 (1913) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 O Rock of Ages, one foundation, On which the living Church doth rest,-- The Church, whose walls are strong salvation, Whose gates are praise,--Thy name be blest! 2 Son of the living God, O call us Once and again to follow Thee; And give us strength, whate'er befall us, Thy true disciples still to be. 3 When fears appall, and faith is failing, Make Thy voice hard o'er wind and wave, "Why doubt?"--and in Thy love prevailing Put forth Thine hand to help and save. 4 And if our coward hearts deny Thee, In inmost thought, in deed, or word, Let not our hardness still defy Thee, But with a look subdue us, Lord. 5 O strengthen Thou our weak endeavor Thee in Thy sheep to serve and tend, To give ourselves to Thee for ever, And find Thee with us to the end.

Father, be Thy blessing shed

Author: Samuel Gilman Hymnal: LHPN1913 #92 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Father, be Thy blessing shed On Thy chosen servant's head; Savior, needed grace impart To sustain and keep his heart; Holy Spirit, with Thy fire Touch his lips, his soul inspire, That Thy truth through him be told Fearlessly to young and old. 2 Seal this day the vows that hold Flock and shepherd in one fold. May he Jesus' mandates keep, "Feed My lambs," and "Feed My sheep!" By Thee to Thy people sent With Thy word and sacrament, May he so proclaim the word That who hear him, hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toll, Wisely may he search the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight, Teach him zeal and care to blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him in his charge to find Listening ear and fervent mind, Helpful counsels, deepening peace, Earnest life, and glad increase; May they, by each other led, Grow to one in Christ, their head, And at last, together be Ripe for heaven and meet for Thee.
