On All the Earth Thy Spirit Shower

Author: Henry More Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1. On all the earth Thy Spirit shower; The earth in righteousness renew; Thy kingdom come, and hell’s o’erpower, And to Thy scepter all subdue. 2. Like mighty winds, or torrents fierce, Let it opposers all o’errun; And every law of sin reverse, That faith and love may make all one. 3. Yea, let Thy Spirit in every place Its richer energy declare; While lovely tempers, fruits of grace, The kingdom of Thy Christ prepare. 4. Grant this, O holy God and true! The ancient seers Thou didst inspire; To us perform the promise due; Descend, and crown us now with fire!

Fling out the banner: let it float

Author: George W. Doane Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 499 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fling out the banner: let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide; The sun, that lights its shining folds, The cross, on which the Saviour died. 2 Fling out the banner: angels bend In anxious silence o’er the sign, And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the Love Divine. 3 Fling out the banner: heathen lands Shall see from far the glorious sight; And nations, crowding to be born, Baptize their spirits in its light. 4 Fling out the banner: let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide: Our glory only in the cross, Our only hope, the Crucified. Amen. Topics: Missions Used With Tune: TRIUMPHANT

The Praise of Sion Waits for Thee

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 80 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The praise of Sion waits for Thee, My God, and praise becomes Thy house; There shall Thy saints Thy glory see, And there perform their public vows. 2. O Thou whose mercy bends the skies To save when humble sinners pray, All lands to Thee shall lift their eyes, And islands of the northern sea. 3. Against my will my sins prevail, But grace shall purge away their stain; The blood of Christ shall never fail To wash my garments white again. 4. Blessed is the man whom Thou shalt choose, And give him kind access to Thee; Give him a place within Thy house, To taste Thy love divinely free. 5. Let Babel fear when Sion prays; Babel, prepare for long distress, When Sion’s God Himself arrays In terror and in righteousness. 6. With dreadful glory God fulfills What His afflicted saints request; And with almighty wrath reveals His love, to give His churches rest. 7. Then shall the flocking nations run To Sion’s hill, and own their Lord; The rising and the setting sun Shall see the Savior’s name adored.

Now let our faith with joy survey

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Now let our faith with joy survey The glories of the latter day; Its dawn already seems begun, Sure earnest of the rising sun. 2 The friends of truth assembled stand, A chosen, consecrated band, The emblem of the cross display, And cry aloud, "Behold the way!" 3 Behold the way to Zion’s hill, Where Israel’s God delights to dwell; He fixes there His lofty throne, And calls the sacred place His own. 4 "Behold the way!" ye heralds! cry; Spare not, but lift your voices high; Convey the sound from shore to shore, And bid the captive sigh no more. 5 Auspicious dawn! thy rising ray With joy we view, and hail the day; Thou Sun! arise, supremely bright, And fill the world with purest light.

Awake, Our Souls, Away, Our Fears

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 406 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, our souls, away, our fears, let ev'ry trembling thought be gone; awake, and run the heav'nly race, and put a cheerful courage on. 2 True, 'tis a strait and thorny road, and mortal spirits tire and faint, but they forget the mighty God, who feeds the strength of ev'ry saint; 3 thee, mighty God, whose matchless power is ever new and ever young, and firm endures, while endless years their everlasting circles run. 4 From thee, the overflowing spring, our souls shall drink a fresh supply, while such as trust their native strength shall melt away, and droop, and die. 5 Swift as an eagle mounts the air, we'll mount aloft to thine abode; on wings of love our souls shall fly, nor tire amidst the heav'nly road.
