Thou, whose awak'ning word

Author: A. J. Sage, D. D. Hymnal: ISS1895 #14 (1895) Scripture: 1 Samuel 14:36 Lyrics: 1 Thou, whose awak'ning word, Stars of the morning heard, And sang for joy Spirit of heav'nly grace, Draw nigh to bless the place, While pray'r and song and praise Our hearts employ. 2 Thine is the glorious sky, Thine are the hosts on high, Thine earth and sea; Thine be this people now, Who in Thy presence bow, Bringing, with solemn vow, Off'rings to Thee. 3 Not with Thy thunders loud, Peeling thro' fire and cloud, This temple fill; But as in Bethlehem, When holy angels came, Make known Thy glorious name, Peace and good will. 4 Oh, may Thy name resound The spacious world around, O'er land and sea; Till with angelic throngs, Tuning harmonious tongues, All nations lift their songs In praise to Thee.

Life in His favor! Forgiven all sin

Author: Rev. James Yeams Hymnal: ISS1895 #8 (1895) Scripture: Psalm 30:5 Lyrics: 1 Life in His favor! Forgiven all sin, Sunshine around me, and comfort within; Sov'reign and Saviour, Redeemer and Friend, Thee will I follow and serve to the end. 2 Life in His favor! the sentence repealed, Pardoned the guilty, the sin-sick one healed; Prodigal welcomed, and sonship restored, Happy the soul in the smile of its Lord! 3 Life in His favor! All else is but vain, Sin's thorny pathways are sorrow and pain; Riches and pleasure a fugitive gleam, Honor and splendor a vanishing dream. 4 Where can be sunshine If night shroud the skies? Darkness broods o'er me until Thou arise; Radiance of mercy, effulgence divine, Sun of salvation, oh, break forth and shine! Languages: English Tune Title: LIFE IN HIS FAVOR

Chorus: 'Tis the hand of God on the wall, 'Tis the hand of God on the wall, "Shall the record be, "Found wanting," or shall it be, "Found trusting?" While that hand is writing on the wall. 2 See the brave captive Daniel as he stood before the throng, And rebuked the haughty monarch for his mighty deeds of wrong; As he read out the writing 'twas the doom of one and all, For the kingdom now was finished said the hand upon the wall. [Chorus] 3 See the faith, zeal and courage, that would dare to do the right, Which the spirit gave to Daniel this the secret of his might; In his home in Judea, or a captive in the hall, He understood the writing of his God upon the wall. [Chorus] 4 So our deeds are recorded there's a Hand that's writing now, Sinner, give your heart to Jesus, to his royal mandate bow; For the day is approaching it must come to one and all When the sinner's condemnation will be written on the wall.
