The sunbeams, infinitely small

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #274 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Jubilee of Religious Tract Society Lyrics: The sunbeams, infinitely small, In numbers numberless, Reveal, pervade, illumine all Nature's void wilderness. But, meeting worlds upon their way, Wrapt in primeval night, In language without sound, they say To each--"God sends you light." Anon, with beauty, life and love, Those wandering planets glow, And shine themselves, as stars above, On gazers from below. 291 Oh! could the first Archangel's eye, In everlasting space, Through all the mazes of the sky, A single sunbeam trace! He might behold the lonely one Its destiny fulfil, As punctual as the parent-sun Performs its Maker's will. The Sun of Righteousness, with rays Of uncreated light, His power and glory thus displays Through Nature's darkest night. The night of guilt, remorse, despair, In which transgressors roam, Yet, self-bewilder'd everywhere, Never draw nearer home. On such, with healing in His wings, Along their downward path, Guidance and help His rising brings And warns to flee from wrath. Rays from that Sun of Righteousness, Our humble missiles dart; Mighty at once to wound and bless, To break and bind the heart. Tracts, those swift messengers of peace For men, with God at strife, To Satan's slaves proclaim release, To Death's condemn'd-ones, life. 292 Not with the excellence of speech, But by the Spirit of Truth, The doctrines of the Cross they preach To manhood, age, and youth. They flash the terrors of the Lord, To make the scorner fear, But speak the Gospel's sweetest word In the poor sinner's ear. Oh! could the first Archangel's sight The least of these pursue, He might record,--in its brief flight, Each had a work to do. A work of grace, a work of power, But, what that was below, Time's last, Eternity's first hour To heaven and earth will show. O Ye! who send these heralds forth-- By millions bid them fly,-- From east to west, from south to north, As sunbeams fill the sky. Languages: English

On His pilgrimage of woe

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #332 (1854) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Topics: Jubilee of Christian Sisterhood Lyrics: On His pilgrimage of woe, When our Saviour walk'd below, He, whose voice awoke the dead, Had not where to lay His head. Yet, on one sweet hill of rest, Oft He loved to be a guest, Where two sister-handmaids dwelt, In whose home, at home He felt. Fulneck Hill to-day shall be Our delightful Bethany; Dwell, Lord Jesus, where we dwell, God with us, Immanuel! In our hearts, do Thou appear, Let our spirits feel Thee here, Till, call'd hence by Thee, in love, To Thy Bethany above. Languages: English

Love is the theme of saints above

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #341 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jubilee of Sunday School Union Lyrics: Love is the theme of saints above; Love be the theme of saints below; Love is of God, for God is Love; With love let every bosom glow:-- Love, stronger than the grasp of Death, Love that rejoices o'er the grave, Love to the Author of our breath, Love to His Son, who came to save;-- Love to the Spirit of all grace, Love to the Scriptures of all truth, Love to our whole apostate race, Love to the aged, love to youth;-- Love to each other--soul and mind, And heart and hand, with full accord, In one sweet covenant combined, To live and die unto the Lord. Christ's little flock we then shall feed, The lambs we in our arms shall bear, Reclaim the lost, the feeble lead, And watch o'er all in faith and prayer. 363 Thus through our isle, on all our bands, The beauty of the Lord shall be; And Britain, glory of all lands, Plant Sabbath schools from sea to sea.

The grace of Jesus Christ our Lord

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #352 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Jubilee of Sunday School Union Lyrics: The grace of Jesus Christ our Lord, The Father's love with sweet accord, The Holy Ghost's communion be Our bond of peace and amity. This is the threefold cord that binds The sympathies of kindred minds, And draws them to that Glorious Three, The One eternal Deity. Thus God to man Himself reveals, His people calls, redeems, and seals, Who one with Him in spirit are, In answer to Christ's farewell prayer. Nor time, nor place, nor life, nor death, Decaying strength, departing breath, Can loose or break that holy cord, Laid on them by their loving Lord. This was the very cord of love, Which drew Him from His throne above; With it He makes Sin's prisoners free, And captive leads captivity. 375 Bound with this covenant to-day, We rest as pilgrims on our way, Past trials thankfully review, And cheerfully prepare for new.
