Macduff Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Thy habitation holy, Spirit of all truth, descend, While we sinners, poor and lowly, At the throne of mercy bend; Help our weakness— And a gracious answer send! 2 Come Thou, as the dew of Hermon Softly falls on Zion’s hill Let us in Thy strength determine Henceforth to obey Thy will— Dwell within us— Let Thy grace our bosoms fill. 3 Brooding o’er us as on chaos Cause our darkness to retreat; Shine into our hearts, and lay us Humbled at the mercy-seat— Guide us—use us As Thy sovereign love sees meet. 4 When the heart is crushed and broken, When bereavement dims the eye, Let us claim the promise spoken By those lips that cannot lie— Blessèd Savior, Send Thy Spirit from on high. 5 When we tread the waves of Jordan, O be near us, sacred Guest! Seal to us our hope of pardon; Dove-like o’er each billow’s crest Do Thou hover— Guiding to eternal rest! Used With Tune: RAPHAEL (Hopkins) Text Sources: Altar Stones, (London: James Nisbet, 1853)

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Watchmen on the walls of Zion, what, O tell us, of the night? Is the day-star now arising? Will the morn soon greet our sight? O’er your vision shine there now some rays of light? O’er your vision shine there now some rays of light? 2. Tell, O tell us, are the landmarks on our voyage all passèd by? Are we nearing now the haven? Can we e’en the land descry? Do we truly see the heavenly kingdom nigh? Do we truly see the heavenly kingdom nigh? 3. Light is beaming, day is coming! Let us sound aloud the cry; We behold the day-star rising, pure and bright in yonder sky! Saints, be joyful; your redemption draweth nigh; Saints, be joyful; your redemption draweth nigh. 4. We have found the chart and compass, and are sure the land is near; Onward, onward we are hasting; soon the haven will appear; Let your voices sound aloud your holy cheer; Let your voices sound aloud your holy cheer.

Gladsome is the theme and glorious, Praise to Christ our gracious Head; Christ, the risen Christ, victorious, Earth and hell hath captive led. Welcome story! Love lives on, and death is dead. 4. Up to Him let each affection Daily rise and round Him move, Our whole lives one resurrection To the life of life above; Their glad story, God is life, and God is love.

Men of God, Go Take Your Stations

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 138 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Men of God, go take your stations; Darkness reigns throughout the earth: Go proclaim among the nations, Joyful news of heavenly birth; Bear the tidings Of the Savior’s matchless worth. 2. Of His Gospel not ashamèd, As the power of God to save, Go, where Christ was never namèd, Publish freedom to the slave; Blessèd freedom! Such as Zion’s children have! 3. What though earth and hell united Should oppose the Savior’s plan? Plead His cause, nor be affrighted, Fear ye not the face of man; Vain their tumult, Hurt His work they never can. 4. When exposed to fearful dangers, Jesus will His own defend; Borne afar, midst foes and strangers, Jesus will appear your Friend; And His presence Shall be with you to the end. Used With Tune: KELVEDEN
