To the Name That Is Salvation

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. To the name that is salvation, Praise and homage let us pay; Life of every generation, Law that all the stars obey; Love and light by whose creation All that is stands fast today. 2. Fairest name beyond all speaking, Fullest end of all desire, Close, yet far beyond all seeking, Goodness, beauty, truth, entire; Wisdom, never vengeance wreaking, Radiance never vexed with ire. 3. ’Tis the name of mercy, speeding, Just and unjust with His ray; Power that rules by patient leading, Not by force, the easier way; So that man, in freedom heeding, May the law of love obey. 4. Name of awe and name of pleasure, Glow divine of grace untold; Sum of values, whose full treasure Striving art can ne’er unfold; Sea of virtue passing measure, Life that doth all life uphold. 5. Hail, O Father, all creating, Now, as when the world began; Master mind, amazed we hail Thee, As the light-year depths we scan; Spirit of transcendent union, True and just Thy ways to man!

Come And See What God Is Doing

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come and see what God is doing: His are works of power and grace; Round the world His Word is going, Giving light to every place. ’Tis a day expected long, Theme of old prophetic song. 2 While the nations are contending, And the tumult louder grows; Through the earth our God is sending News of peace, to heal our woes. Sounds of mercy sweeter are, Heard amid the din of war. 3 Long the nations were benighted, And the darkness has been still; But the lamp that God has lighted, Now is set upon a hill. Many now enjoy the light, And with rapture hail the sight. 4 Higher still and higher place it: Show it to the world around; Never should we cease to raise it, While a nation still is found, One to whom it is not giv’n To enjoy the light of Heav’n.

Alleluia! Christ the Lord returns to reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold him, robed in dreadful majesty; those who set at nought and sold him, pierced, and nailed him to the tree, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, shall the true Messiah see. 3 Those dear tokens of his passion still his dazzling body bears, cause of endless exultation to his ransomed worshipers; with what rapture, with what rapture, gaze we on those glorious scars! 4 Yea, amen! let all adore thee, high on thine eternal throne; Savior, take the power and glory; claim the kingdom for thine own: Alleluia! Alleluia! Thou shalt reign, and thou alone. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS (Wade)
