Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Meter: Irregular Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:16-17 Lyrics: 1 Lift every voice and sing, Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty; Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun Of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chastening rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered; Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the bright gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might, Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, True to our native land.

O Lord, How Shall I Meet You

Your people long to greet you, my hope, my heart's delight! O kindle, Lord Most Holy, your lamp within my breast to do in spirit lowly all that may please you best. 2 Love caused your incarnation, love brought you down to me; your thirst for my salvation procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, that led you to embrace, in love all love excelling, our lost and fallen race! 3 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted, who sit in deepest gloom, who mourn o'er joys departed and tremble at your doom. Despair not, he is near you, yea, standing at the door, who best can help and cheer you and bids you weep no more. 4 Sin's debt, that fearful burden, let not your souls distress; your guilt the Lord will pardon and cover by his grace. He comes, for men procuring the peace of sin forgiv'n, for all God's sons securing their heritage in heav'n. 5 You come, O Lord, with gladness, in mercy and goodwill, to bring an end to sadness and bid our fears be still. In patient expectation we live for that great day when a renewed creation your glory shall display.

If God Himself Be for Me

Author: Paul Gerhardt; Richard Massie Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Romans 8:14-17 Lyrics: 1 If God Himself be for me, I may a host defy; For when I pray, before me My foes confounded fly. If Christ, the Head, befriend me, If God be my support, The mischief they intend me Shall quickly come to naught. 2 I build on this foundation, That Jesus and His Blood Alone are my Salvation, The true Eternal Good; Without Him, all that pleases Is valueless on earth; The gifts I owe to Jesus Alone my love are worth. 3 His Holy Spirit dwelleth Within my willing heart, Tames it when it rebelleth, And soothes the keenest smart. He crowns His work with blessing, And helpeth me to cry "My Father." without ceasing, To Him who reigns on high. 4 To mine His Spirit speaketh Sweet words of soothing power, How God for Him that seeketh For rest hath rest in store; How God Himself prepareth My heritage and lot, And, though my body weareth, My heaven shall fail me not.
