O Holy Lord, our God

Let Zion's watchmen all awake

Hymnal: BW1870 #197 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Let Zion's watchmen all awake, And take th'alarm they give; Now let them from the mouth of God Their solemn charge receive. 2 'Tis not a cause of small import The pastor's care demands; But what might fill an angel's heart, And fill'd a Saviour's hands. 3 They watch for souls, for which the Lord Did heavenly bliss forgo; For souls which must forever live In raptures or in woe. 4 All to the great tribunal haste, Th'account to render there; And should'st Thou strictly mark our faults, Lord, how should we appear? 5 May they that Jesus, Whom they preach, Their own Redeemer see; And watch Thou daily o'er their souls, That they may watch for Thee.

How beauteous are their feet

Hymnal: BW1870 #198 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet the tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Saviour King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found! 4 How blesséd are our eyes That see this heavenly light! Prophets and saints desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad: Let all the nations now behold Their Saviour and their God.

Lord of the Church, we humbly pray

And take their crown above: Enter into their Master's joy, And all eternity employ In praise, and bliss, and love. Topics: Church her ministry; Ministers prayer for Languages: English

From Calv'ry's sacred mountain

Hymnal: BW1870 #201 (1870) Lyrics: 1 From Calv'ry's sacred mountain Where hung the Son of God, Whilst from His heart's deep fountain Gush'd forth the crimson flood, The voice of mercy plighted, Bids us, in Jesus' name, Proclaim to the benighted The Lamb for sinners slain. 2 Come, brethren, whom, anointed With unction from on high, The Master has appointed To preach His kingdom nigh; We'll haste, o'er mount and river, Through city, town, and plain, The ruin'd to deliver From death and Satan's chain. 3 Soon will our race be ended, Our journey soon be o'er, By Jesus' arm defended, We'll reach fair Canaan's shore, Where grateful plaudits greet us, Throughout the heavenly dome, And blesséd spirits meet us, to shout us welcome home. 5 There may this congregation Unite to swell the theme Of blood-bought, free salvation, Through faith in Jesus' name: O Jesus! Rock of Ages! The God we all adore, Through earth's bewild'ring stages Guide us to Canaan's shore! Topics: Church her ministry; Conferences and Synods Languages: English

Hymnal: BW1870 #202 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I love Thy Zion, Lord! The house of Thine abode; The Church, O blest Redeemer, saved With Thine own precious blood. 2 I love Thy Church, O God! Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thy hand. 3 If e'er to bless Thy sons My voice or hands deny, These hands let useful skill forsake, This voice in silence die. 4 If e'er my heart forget Her welfare or her woe, Let ev'ry joy this heart forsake, And ev'ry grief o'erflow. 5 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. 6 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise.
