Early Hopes.

Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: In the morning I expected Lyrics: In the morning I expected, That I should long, long ere now, All my eager foes have conquered, That a crown should grace my brow War and tumult, Still distress my wearied ears. In an agony of longing, I await the signal day, When my fetters shall be broken, When from earth I fly away; And for tumults, Hear alone the songs of heaven. Favorite Welsh Hymns, 1854

Zion Stands by Hills Surrounded

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 410 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Zion stands by hills surrounded, Zion, kept by power divine; All her foes shall be confounded, Though the world in arms combine; Happy Zion, what a favored lot is thine! 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; Heav’n and earth at last remove; But no changes can attend Jehovah’s love, 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, thine everlasting Light, God is with thee—God, thine everlasting Light.

God in Christ reveals His presence, Throned upon the Mercy-seat: Saints, rejoice! and sinners, tremble! Each prepare his God to meet: Lowly, lowly, Bow adoring at His feet. Hail Him here with songs of praises, Him with prayers of faith surround; Hearken to His glorious gospel, While the preacher's lips expound; Blesséd, blesséd, They who know the joyful sound. Though the heaven, and heaven of heavens, O Thou Great Unsearchable! Are too mean to comprehend Thee, Thou with man art pleased to dwell; Welcome, welcome, God with us, Immanuel.

Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Let them have the glorious light; And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night, And redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 4. May the glorious day approaching, On their grossest darkness dawn, And the everlasting Gospel, Spread abroad Thy holy name, All the borders Of the great Immanuel’s land. 5. Fly abroad, thou mighty Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease; May thy lasting wide dominions Multiply and still increase; Sway thy scepter, Savior! all the world around. Used With Tune: WILDERSMOUTH

Blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus, blessèd Jesus, Teach me on Thine arm to lean; Teach me on Thine arm to lean. 3. O, for trust that brings the triumph When defeat seems strangely near; O, for faith that changes fighting Into vict’ry’s ringing cheer! Faith triumphant, faith triumphant, faith triumphant, Knowing not defeat nor fear; Knowing not defeat nor fear. 4. Faith triumphant— blessèd victory! Every barrier swept away. Heaven descending, joy and fullness, Dawn of everlasting day! Jesus only, Jesus only, Jesus only, Him to love and Him obey; Him to love and Him obey.
