Fling Out the Banner

Author: George W. Doane Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1547 First Line: Fling out the banner! let it float 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 Savior died. 2. 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. 3. Fling out the banner! angels bend In anxious silence o’er the sight, And vainly seek to comprehend The wonder of the love divine. 4. Fling out the banner! sin sick souls That sink and perish in the strife, Shall touch in faith its radiant hem, And spring immortal into life. 5. Fling out the banner! let it float Skyward and seaward, high and wide, Our glory, only in the cross; Our only hope, the Crucified! 6. Fling out the banner! wide and high, Seaward and skyward, let it shine; Nor skill, nor might, nor merit ours; We conquer only in that sign. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (CALKIN)

God Will Our Strength and Refuge Prove

Author: Anonymous Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1999 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. God will our strength and refuge prove, In all distress a present aid, And, though the trembling earth remove, We will not fear nor be dismayed. 2. Our trust in God shall still abide Though hills be shaken from their seat, And though the ocean’s swelling tide Against the trembling mountains beat. 3. A river flows, whose living streams Make glad the city of our God, The holy place where glory beams, Where God Most High has His abode. 4. God has in her His dwelling made, And she shall nevermore be moved; Her God shall early give her aid, Her constant helper He has proved. 5. The kings and nations raged in pride; He spake, the earth did melt away; The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our fathers’ God, our strength and stay. 6. Come, see the works of God displayed, The wonders of His mighty hand, What desolations He has made, What ruin spread through all the land. 7. Through all the peopled earth He makes The dreadful scourge of war to cease, The implements of battle breaks, And makes the nations dwell in peace. 8. Be still, ye nations, bow in fear, And know that I alone am God; To us the Lord of Hosts is near, Our fathers’ God is our abode. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Calkin)

High on a Hill of Dazzling Light

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2387 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. High on a hill of dazzling light The King of glory spreads His seat, And troops of angels stretched for flight, Stand waiting round His awful feet. 2. Go, saith the Lord, My Gabriel, go, Salute the virgin’s fruitful womb; Make haste, ye cherubs down below, Sing and proclaim the Savior come. 3. Here a bright squadron leaves the skies, And thick around Elisha stands; Anon a heav’nly soldier flies, And breaks the chains from Peter’s hands. 4. Thy wingèd troops, O God of hosts! Wait on Thy wandering church below: Here we are sailing to Thy coasts; Let angels be our convoy, too. 5. Are they not all Thy servants, Lord? At Thy command they go and come; With cheerful haste obey Thy word, And guard Thy children to their home. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Calkin)

I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

Author: Henry W. Longfellow Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #2815 Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace on earth, good will to men. 2 And thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th’unbroken song Of peace on earth, good will to men. 3 Till ringing, singing on its way The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime Of peace on earth, good will to men. 4 And in despair I bowed my head There is no peace on earth, I said, For hate is strong and mocks the song Of peace on earth, good will to men. 5 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail With peace on earth, good will to men. These verses, usually omitted in modern hymnals, reflect the words' origin during the American civil war: Then from each black, accursed mouth The cannon thundered in the South, And with the sound the carols drowned Of peace on earth, good will to men. It was as if an earthquake rent The hearth-stones of a continent, And made forlorn, the households born Of peace on earth, good will to men. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Calkin)

Lift Up, Lift Up Your Voices Now

Author: John M. Neale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #3752 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1. Lift up, lift up your voices now! The whole wide world rejoices now; The Lord has triumphed gloriously, The Lord shall reign victoriously. 2. In vain with stone the cave they barred; In vain the watch kept ward and guard; Majestic from the spoilèd tomb, In pomp of triumph Christ is come. 3. And all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share; And hope, and joy and peace begin, For Christ has won, and man shall win. 4. O Victor, aid us in the fight, And lead through death to realms of light; We safely pass where Thou hast trod; In Thee we die to rise to God. 5. Thy flock, from sin and death set free, Glad alleluias raise to Thee; And ever with the heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Calkin)

O Mighty Man, Why Wilt Thou Boast?

Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5184 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O mighty man, why wilt thou boast Lyrics: 1. O mighty man, why wilt thou boast Thyself in hateful cruelty, When God Almighty is most kind, And ever merciful is He? 2. Thy tongue deviseth wickedness, A weapon treacherous and keen; Thou lovest evil more than good, And falsehood in thy sight is clean. 3. Since, O thou false, deceitful tongue, In deadly words thou findest joy, The Lord shall pluck thee from thy place And all thy wickedness destroy. 4. The good, confirmed in godly fear, The pride and folly shall confess Of those who make not God their strength, But trust in wealth and wickedness. 5. But as for me, my strength is like A verdant temple olive tree; My trust is in God’s tender love, Which shall endure eternally. 6. With endless thanks, O Lord, to Thee, Thy wondrous works I will proclaim, And in the presence of Thy saints Will ever hope in Thy good name.

O Thou to Whom, in Ancient Time

Author: John Pierpoint Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5368 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: O Thou, to whom, in ancient time Lyrics: 1. O Thou, to whom, in ancient time, The lyre of Hebrews bards was strung, Whom kings adored in song sublime, And prophets praised with glowing tongue. 2. Not now in Zion’s height alone The favored worshiper may dwell, Nor where, at sultry noon, Thy Son Sat weary by the patriarch’s well. 3. From every place below the skies, The grateful song, the fervent prayer, The incense of the heart, may rise To heaven, and find acceptance there. 4. O Thou to whom, in ancient time, The lyre of prophet bards was strung, To Thee at last in every clime, Shall temples rise and praise be sung. Languages: English Tune Title: WALTHAM (Calkin)
