O 't was a joyful sound to hear

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #281 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 O 't was a joyful sound to hear Our tribes devoutly say, Up, Israel! to the temple haste, And keep your festal-day. 2 At Salem's courts we must appear, With our assembled powers, In strong and beauteous order ranged, Like her united towers. 3 O ever pray for Salem's peace; For they shall prosp'rous be, Thou holy city of our God, Who bear true love to thee. 4 May peace within thy sacred walls A constant guest be found; With plenty and prosperity Thy palaces be crown'd. 5 For my dear brethren's sake, and friends No less than brethren dear, I'll pray, May peace in Salem's towers A constant guest appear. 6 But most of all I'll seek thy good, And ever wish thee well, For Sion and the temple's sake, Where God vouchsafes to dwell.

Christ is made the sure foundation

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #282 (1871) Lyrics: 1 Christ is made the sure foundation, Christ the Head and Corner-stone, Chosen of the Lord, and precious, Binding all the Church in one, Holy Sion's help for ever, And her confidence alone. 2 All that dedicated city, Dearly loved of God on high, In exultant jubilation Pours perpetual melody; God the One in Three adoring In glad hymns eternally. 3 To this temple, where we call Thee, Come, O Lord of Hosts, to-day; With Thy wonted loving-kindness, Hear Thy servants as they pray; And Thy fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 4 Here vouchsafe to all Thy servants What they ask of Thee to gain, What they gain from Thee, for ever With the blessèd to retain, And hereafter in Thy glory Evermore with Thee to reign. 5 Praise and honour to the Father, Praise and honour to the Son, Praise and honour to the Spirit, Ever Three, and ever One, One in might, and one in glory, While unending ages run.

From Greenland's icy mountains

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #283 (1871) Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand; Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand: From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 What though the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Though every prospect pleases, And only man is vile: In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3 Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high; Shall we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation, The joyful sound proclaim, Till each remotest nation Has learned Messiah's Name. 4 Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole: Till o'er our ransom'd nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign.

Jesus shall reign where'er the sun

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #284 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus shall reign where'er the sun Does his successive journeys run; His kingdom stretch from shore to shore, Till moons shall wax and wane no more. To Him shall endless prayer be made, And praises throng to crown his head; His Name like sweet perfume shall rise With every morning sacrifice. 3 People and realms of every tongue Dwell on His love with sweetest song; And infant voices shall proclaim Their early blessings on his name. 4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns, The prisoner leaps to loose his chains, The weary find eternal rest, And all the sons of want are blest. 5 Let every creature rise and bring Peculiar honours to our King; Angels descend with songs again, And earth repeat the loud Amen.

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #285 (1871) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 To bless Thy chosen race In mercy, Lord, incline; And cause the brightness of thy face On all Thy saints to shine: 2 That so Thy wondrous way May through the world be known; While distant lands their tribute pay, And Thy salvation own. 3 O let them shout and sing, With joy and pious mirth; For Thou, the righteous Judge and King, Shalt govern all the earth. 4 Let differing nations join To celebrate Thy fame; Let all the world, O Lord, combine To praise Thy glorious Name. 5 Then God upon our land Shall constant blessings shower; And all the world in awe shall stand Of His resistless power.

On Sion and on Lebanon

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #286 (1871) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 On Sion and on Lebanon, On Carmel's blooming height, On Sharon's fertile plains, once shone The glory, pure and bright. 2 From thence its mild and cheering ray Stream'd forth from land to land; And empires now behold its day; And still its beams expand. 3 Its brightest splendours, darting west, Our happy shores illume; Our farther regions, once unblest, Now like a garden bloom; 4 But ah, our deserts deep and wild See not this heavenly light; No sacred beams, no radiance mild, Dispel their dreary night. 5 Thou, Who didst lighten Sion's hill, On Carmel Who didst shine, Our deserts let Thy glory fill, Thy excellence divine. 6 Like Lebanon, in towering pride, May all our forests smile; And may our borders blossom wide Like Sharon's fruitful soil Topics: Missions and Charities Languages: English

Arm of the Lord, awake, awake

O'er the gloomy hills of darkness

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #288 (1871) Lyrics: 1 O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul, be still and gaze: All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace. Blessèd jubilee, Let thy glorious morning dawn. 2 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, Thy glorious light; And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night, And redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 3 Fly abroad, eternal Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease: May thy lasting, wide dominions Multiply and still increase: May thy sceptre, sway the enligten'd world around.

Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim

Hymnal: HPEC1871 #290 (1871) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Ye Christian heralds, go, proclaim Salvation in Emmanuel's name; To distant climes the tidings bear, And plant the rose of Sharon there. 2 God shield you with a wall of fire, With holy zeal your breasts inspire, Bid raging winds their fury cease, And calm the savage breast to peace. 3 And when our labours all are o'er, Then may we meet to part no more,-- Meet, with the ransomed throng to fall, And crown the Saviour Lord of all.
