O Thou, in Whose Presence
Author: Joseph Swain Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 495 hymnals First Line: O thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight Lyrics: 1 O thou, in whose presence my soul takes delight,
on whom in affliction I call,
my comfort by day, and my song in the night,
my hope, my salvation, my all:
Where dost thou, dear Shepherd, resort with thy sheep
to feed in the pastures of love?
Say, why in the valley of death should I weep
or lone in the wilderness rove?
2 Oh, why should I wander an alien from thee
or cry in the desert for bread?
Thy foes will rejoice when my sorrows they see
and smile at the tears I have shed.
Yet speak, and ten thousands of angels rejoice;
thy soul-cheering wisdom impart.
Eternity echoes the sound of thy voice
that reaches my desolate heart. Topics: Comfort; Death and Eternal Life; Funeral / Memorial Service; God Presence of; Joy; Praying For Healing; Suffering Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: ZION’S PILGRIM Text Sources: Sacred Poetry: Comprising an Entire System of Divine Truth, 1790, alt.

Author: Archibald Kenyon Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O list to the notes of the song as it floats Lyrics: 1 O list to the notes of the song as it floats
O’er Bethlehem’s beautiful plains;
Yes, hear the glad shout of the joy that rings out
In sweetest of angelic strains.
O fear ye not, shepherds, the wondrous display,
Glad tidings to you they now bring;
There’s born in the city of David today
A Savior, your Lord and your king.
2 To God in the highest all glory and praise,
Both peace and good-will among men;
In songs of salvation our voices we raise,
And Heaven re-echoes again.
Go herald the tidings, go, tell them afar,
Proclaim the glad story of love;
Bright hopes for the perishing nations there are,
Of crowns and of mansions above. Used With Tune: STOKE-ON-TRENT Text Sources: Royal Diadem (New York/Chicago: Biglow & Main, 1873)

Isaiah the Prophet Has Written of Old
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #680 (1996) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's new creation shall come,
instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow;
the wolf shall lie down with the lamb.
The mountains and hills shall break forth into song,
the peoples be led forth in peace,
for the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God
as the waters cover the sea.
2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world,
and conflict turns parent from child.
Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth;
the brier and the thorn tree grow wild.
God, bring to fruition your will for the earth,
that no one shall hurt or destroy,
when wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy.
