Thanksgiving or Fast

Author: Rev. Henry Harbaugh (1818-1867) Appears in 49 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 85 First Line: Christ by heavenly hosts adored Topics: Thanksgiving

Author: James Weldon Johnson, 1871-1938 Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 85:1-7 First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Lyrics: 1 Lift ev'ry voice and sing Till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise High as the list'ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us; Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun Of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. 2 Stony the road we trod, Bitter the chast'ning rod Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our parents sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered; We have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3 God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee; Lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, May we forever stand, True to our God, true to our native land. Topics: Nation and National Songs Used With Tune: LIFT EVERY VOICE

Mercy and Truth

Author: J. Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 29 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 85:10-11 First Line: When first the God of boundless grace Lyrics: 1 When first the God of boundless grace Disclos'd his kind design, To rescue our apostate race From mis'ry, shame, and sin. 2 Quick through the realms of light and bliss, The joyful tidings ran, Each heart exulted at the news, That God would dwell with man. 3 Yet 'midst their joys they paus'd a while, And ask'd with strange surprise, "But how can injur'd justice smile, "Or look with pitying eyes? 4 Will the Almighty deign again, To visit yonder world; And hither bring rebellious men, Whence rebels once were hurl'd? 5 Their tears, and groans, and deep distress, Aloud for mercy call: But ah! must truth and righteousness Victims to mercy fall?" 6 So spake the friends of God and man, Delighted, yet surpris'd; Eager to know the wond'rous plan, That wisdom had devis'd. 7 The Son of God attentive heard, And quickly thus reply'd, "In me let mercy be reve'd, And justice satisfy'd. 8 Behold! my vital blood I pour, A sacrifice to God; Justice divine will now no more Demand the sinner's blood." 9 He spake, and heav'n's high arches rung; Praise, ev'ry tongue employs, "He dy'd," the friendly angels sung, Nor cease their rapturous joys.
