Sung to TIDINGS, composed in 1875 by James Walch (1837-1901)

O Zion, Haste

Isaiah 40:9 You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain.

You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!”

2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. 

V. 1 O Zion, haste, thy mission high fulfilling,

To tell to all the world that God is light;

That He who made all nations is not willing

One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.

Isaiah 52:7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

Refrain: Publish glad tidings,

Tidings of peace,

Tidings of Jesus,

Redemption and release.

Acts 17:28 For in him we live and move and have our being. As some of your own poets have said, "We are his offspring."

Revelation 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying in midair, and he had the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth—to every nation, tribe, language and people. 

V. 2 Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation

That God, in whom they live and move, is love;

Tell how He stooped to save His lost creation,

And died on earth that man might live above.

Refrain

Luke 10:35 The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. "Look after him," he said, "and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have."

V. 3 Give of thy sons to bear the message glorious;

Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way;

Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious;

And all thou spendest Jesus will repay.

Refrain

V. 4 He comes again; O Zion, ere thou meet Him,

Make known to every heart His saving grace;

Let none whom He hath ransomed fail to greet Him,

Through thy neglect, unfit to see His face.

If You But Trust in God to Guide You

If You But Trust in God to Guide You

Text written by George Neumark (1621-1681)

Sung to WER NUR DEN LIEBEN GOTT, also composed by George Neumark

Isaiah 26:4 Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord, the Lord himself, is the Rock eternal.

Matthew 7:25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock.

V. 1 If you but trust in God to guide you

And place your confidence in Him,

You'll find Him always there beside you,

To give you hope and strength within.

For those who trust God's changeless love

Build on the rock that will not move.

1 Peter 5:7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

V. 2 What gain is there in futile weeping,

In helpless anger and distress?

If you are in His care and keeping,

In sorrow will He love you less?

For He who took for you a cross

Will bring you safe through every loss.

Luke 22:42 Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.

V. 3 In patient trust await His leisure

In cheerful hope, with heart content

To take what-e'er your Father's pleasure

And all-discerning love have sent;

Doubt not your inmost wants are known

To Him who chose you for His own.

Hebrews 13:5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”

V. 4 Sing, pray, and keep His ways unswerving,

Offer your service faithfully,

And trust His word; though undeserving,

You'll find His promise true to be.

God never will forsake in need

The soul that trusts in Him indeed.

How Far From Home?

How Far From Home?

Text written in 1853 by Annie R. Smith (1828-1855)

Sung to the tune TIS MIDNIGHT HOUR

Isaiah 21:11, 12 A prophecy against Dumah: Someone calls to me from Seir,

“Watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night?”

The watchman replies, “Morning is coming, but also the night. If you would ask, then ask; and come back yet again.”

V. 1 How far from home? I asked, as on

I bent my steps--the watchman spake:

"The long, dark night is almost gone,

The morning soon will break.

Then weep no more, but speed thy flight,

With Hope's bright star thy guiding ray,

Till thou shalt reach the realms of light,

In everlasting day."

Philippians 3:14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.

V. 2 I asked the warrior on the field;

This was his soul-inspiring song:

"With courage, bold, the sword I'll wield,

The battle is not long.

Then weep no more, but well endure

The conflict, till thy work is done;

For this we know, the prize is sure,

When victory is won."

Luke 21:25 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.

Romans 8:22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 

1 Thessalonians 4:16, 17 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.

V. 3 I asked again; earth, sea, and sun

Seemed, with one voice, to make reply:

"Time's wasting sands are nearly run,

Eternity is nigh.

Then weep no more--with warning tones,

Portentous signs are thickening round,

The whole creation, waiting, groans,

To hear the trumpet sound."

Revelation 7:14, 17 I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.  For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’

‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’ ”

V. 4 Not far from home! O blessed thought!

The traveler's lonely heart to cheer;

Which oft a healing balm has brought,

And dried the mourner's tear.

Then weep no more, since we shall meet

Where weary footsteps never roam--

Our trials past, our joys complete,

Safe in our Father's home.

Genesis 9:16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.

V. 3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn;

Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn;

Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign;

All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine,

All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.

V. 4 Lord of all life, below, above,

Whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,

Before Thy ever-blazing throne

We ask no luster of our own,

We ask no luster of our own.

Luke 24:32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

John 8:32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.

V. 5 Grant us Thy truth to make us free,

And kindling hearts that burn for Thee;

Till all Thy living altars claim

One holy light, one heavenly flame!

One holy light, one heavenly flame.

Are clad in robes of white.

The home of God's elect!

O sweet and blessed country,

That eager hearts expect!

To that dear land of rest;

Who art, with God the Father,

And Spirit, ever blest.

Tune written by F. E. Belden (1858-1945)

Luke 17:5 The apostles said to the Lord, “Increase our faith!”

John 12:21 They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” 

V. 1 "We would see Jesus;" for the shadows lengthen

Across the little landscape of our life;

We would see Jesus, our weak faith to strengthen

For the last conflict, in this mortal strife.

Psalm 89:26 He will call out to me, "You are my Father,

my God, the Rock my Savior."

V. 2 "We would see Jesus," Rock of our salvation,

Whereon our feet were set with sovereign grace;

Not life, nor death, with all their agitation,

Can thence remove us, gazing on His face.

V. 3 "We would see Jesus;" other lights are paling,

Which for long years we did rejoice to see;

The blessings of this sinful world are failing;

We would not mourn them, in exchange for Thee.

1 Thessalonians 1:10 ...and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

V. 4 "We would see Jesus;" this is all we're needing--

Strength, joy, and willingness come with the sight;

We would see Jesus, dying, risen, pleading,

Soon to return and end this mortal night!
