• [Yes 60:1] All Ye Gentile Lands Awake!

  All ye Gentile lands awake! Thou, O Salem, rise and shine! See the day-spring o’er you break, Heralding a morn divine, Telling, God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. Lo! the shadows flee away, For our Light is come at length, Brighter than all earthly day, Source of being, life and strength! Whoso on this Light would gaze Must forsake all evil ways. Ah how blindly did we stray Ere shone forth this glorious Sun, Seeking each his separate way, Leaving Heaven, unsought, unwon; All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. Earthly were our thoughts and low, In the toils of folly caught, Tossed of Satan to and fro, Counting goodness all for naught; By the world and flesh deceived, Heaven’s true joys we disbelieved. Then were hidden from our eyes All the law and grace of God; Rich and poor, the fools and wise, Wanting light to find the road Leading to the heavenly life, Wandered lost in care and strife. But the glory of the Lord Hath arisen on us today; We have seen the light outpoured That must surely drive away All things that to night belong, All the sad earth’s woe and wrong. Thy arising, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thy arising, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Through my smiles and through my tears Still Thy light, O Lord, appears. Let me, Lord in peace depart From this evil world to Thee; Where Thyself sole Brightness art, Thou hast kept a place for me: In the shining city there Crowns of light Thy saints shall wear.

In quiet splendor forth He comes, The scattered sheep and tender lambs To gather, and their fold prepare With all a shepherd’s tender care. The gentle Shepherd we behold Who, not with silver and with gold, But by His suffering and His death Will save us from eternal wrath. His Church, though small its seed may be, Shall grow into a mighty tree. With fruitful branches spreading o’er The earth till time shall be no more. Arise and shine, thy Light is come, O humankind, O Christendom; Thy glory and thy peace is here; The Savior of the world draws near. All praise and glory be to Thee; For wisdom, power, and majesty; And for Thy grace, and mercy, Lord, Forever be Thy Name adored.

Refrain O the joys of that glad meeting With the saints who for us wait! What a blessèd, happy meeting Just inside the Eastern Gate! Refrain

• [Yes 60:13] Beautiful Christmas

  O’er the hills and adown the snowy dells, As the echoes ring of the Christmas bells, Angel songs in our hearts resound again, Singing peace on earth and good will to men! Refrain Bring pine and fir tree, weave the garlands bright, Gladden the temple of the King tonight! Christmas is here! Fill it with cheer; Make it glorious with joy and light. Bring good will to the suffering and sad; Speak the tender word that shall make them glad; Tell them how, o’er the hills of Bethlehem When the angels sang, ’twas good news for them. Refrain Peace on earth! bid all strife and tumult cease; For this night again gives the Lord His peace; While our hands shall His temple beautify, Carol, glory be unto God most high. Refrain So glad hearts on this happy Christmas night Bring your gifts of love, make His altar bright; Sing glad songs that shall sweetly sound as when Angels sang of peace and good will to men. Refrain

• [Yes 60:15] O Zion, When Thy Savior Came

  O Zion, when thy Savior came In grace and love to thee, No beauty in thy royal Lord Thy faithless eye could see. Yet, onward in His path of grace, The holy Sufferer went, To feel, at last, that love on thee Had all in vain been spent. Yet not in vain; o’er Israel’s land The glory yet will shine; And He, thy once rejected King, Messiah, shall be thine. When thou, beneath the peaceful reign Of Jesus and His bride, Shalt sound His grace and glory forth To all the earth beside. The nations to thy glorious light, O Zion! yet shall throng; And all the listening islands wait To catch the joyful song. The name of Jesus yet shall ring Through earth and Heaven above, And all His ransomed people know The Sabbath of His love.

• [Yes 60:18] Gates Of Praise

  Lift up the Gates of Praise, That we may enter in, And o’er Salvation’s walls proclaim That Christ redeems from sin. Refrain The stars may praise the Hand That decks the sky above, But man alone can tell the power Of Christ’s redeeming love. God’s works reveal His might, His majesty and grace; But not the tender Father’s love That saves a dying race. Refrain Then let the voice of praise To heav’nly courts ascend, Till with the songs the angels sing Our hallelujahs blend. Refrain To Him that hath redeemed Our souls from sin’s dark maze; The Hope and Savior of mankind, Be everlasting praise. Refrain

• [Yes 60:18] Hear What God The Lord Hath Spoken

  Hear what God the Lord hath spoken, “O my people, faint and few, Comfortless, afflicted, broken, Fair abodes I build for you: Themes of heartfelt tribulation Shall no more perplex your ways; You shall name your walls, Salvation, And your gates shall all be praise. “There, like streams that feed the garden, Pleasures, without end, shall flow, For the Lord, your faith rewarding, All His bounty shall bestow; Still in undisturbed possession Peace and righteousness shall reign; Never shall you feel oppression, Hear the voice of war again. “Ye no more your suns descending, Waning moons no more shall see; But your griefs forever ending, Find eternal noon in Me: God shall rise, and shining o’er you, Change to day the gloom of night; He, the Lord, shall be your Glory, God your everlasting Light.”

• [Yes 60:19] Eternal Light

  Eternal Light! eternal Light! How pure the soul must be When, placed within Thy searching sight, It shrinks not, but with calm delight Can live, and look on Thee! The spirits that surround Thy throne May bear the burning bliss; But that is surely theirs alone, Since they have never, never known A fallen world like this. O how shall I, whose native sphere Is dark, whose mind is dim, Before the Ineffable appear, And on my naked spirit bear That uncreated beam? There is a way for man to rise To that sublime abode: An offering and a sacrifice, A Holy Spirit’s energies, An Advocate with God. These, these prepare us for the sight Of holiness above; The sons of ignorance and night, May dwell in the eternal Light, Through the eternal Love.

• [Yes 60:19] O Everlasting Light

  O Everlasting Light, Giver of dawn and day, Dispeller of the ancient night In which creation lay; O Everlasting Light, Shine graciously within; Brightest of all on earth that’s bright, Come, shine away my sin. O Everlasting Truth, Truest of all that’s true, Sure Guide of erring age and youth, Lead me, and teach me, too. O Everlasting Strength, Uphold me in the way; Bring me, in spite of foes, at length To joy and light and day. O Everlasting Love, Wellspring of grace and peace, Pour down Thy fullness from above, Bid doubt and trouble cease. O Everlasting Rest, Lift off life’s load of care; Relieve, revive this burdened breast, And every sorrow bear. Thou art in Heav’n our All, Our All on earth art Thou; Upon Thy glorious Name we call, Lord Jesus, bless us now.

• [Yes 60:22] God Of The Nations, Who Hast Led

  God of the nations, who hast led Thy children since the world began, Through doubt and struggle, pain and tears, Unfolding Thy eternal plan; From countless hilltops as of old The fire upon the altar flares; Through countless rites, in countless tongues, Men offer their imperfect prayers; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace. O Jesus Christ, incarnate Son, Who bore our flesh that men might see The vision of the perfect life Fashioned in their humanity; By all Thy words of heavenly truth, By all Thy deeds of mercy wrought, By all the passion of Thy cross, By the redemption Thou hast brought; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace. O Holy Spirit, who dost touch The prophets with Thy sacred fire Eternal wisdom to whose light All seekers after truth aspire; Behold the warring sons of men, The helpless by the strong oppressed, The truth with error still concealed, The evil grudgingly confessed; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace. O God triune, Thy Church today In penitence before Thee kneels Mourning her years of slothful ease, Her deafness to the world’s appeals; Divided where she should be one, Enamored of a lesser strife, Tithing the mint and cumin while Men perish for the Bread of Life; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace. Restore to us the vision, Lord, Descend with fires of Pentecost; Our tongues unloose, our hearts inflame, To preach the Gospel to the lost: Here at Thy feet our prayer is made, Here life and wealth we dedicate; Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, Lord, Thy anointing we await; Hasten the time of our release, Bring in Thy reign of truth and peace.

• [Yes 60:22] Hasten, Lord, The Glorious Time

  Hasten, Lord, the glorious time When, beneath Messiah’s sway, Every nation, every clime, Shall the Gospel call obey. Mightiest kings His power shall own, Heathen tribes His Name adore; Satan and his host o’erthrown, Bound in chains, shall hurt no more. As when soft and gentle showers Fall upon the thirsty plain, Springing grass and blooming flowers, Clothe the wilderness again; So Thy Spirit shall descend, Softening every stony heart, And its sweetest influence lend, All that’s lovely to impart. Then shall wars and tumults cease, Then be banished grief and pain, Righteousness and joy and peace, Undisturbed shall ever reign. Bless we, then, our gracious Lord, Ever praise His glorious Name; All His mighty acts record; All His wondrous love proclaim. Time shall sun and moon obscure, Seas be dried, and rocks be riv’n. But His reign shall still endure, Endless as the days of Heav’n.

  We are waiting, blessèd Jesus, Watching, waiting, still for Thee; Thou hast told us Thou art coming, We are waiting patiently.

Crown Immanuel, the King!” Lamps all trimmed and brightly burning, Ready we would always be; For the cry, “The Bridegroom cometh!” We are waiting eagerly.

  O North, with all thy vales of green, O South, with all thy palms! From peopled towns and vales between, Uplift the voice of psalms; Raise, ancient East, the anthem high, And let the youthful West reply. Lo, in the clouds of Heav’n appears God’s well belovèd Son He brings a train of brighter years; His kingdom is begun. He comes, a guilty world to bless With mercy, truth, and righteousness. O Father, haste the promised hour, When at His feet shall lie All rule, authority, and power, Beneath the ample sky; When He shall reign from pole to pole, The Lord of every human soul. When all shall heed the words He said Amid their daily cares And by the loving life He led Shall seek to pattern theirs; And He who conquered death shall win The mightier conquest over sin.
