Ezekiel's Vision of the dry Bones
Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCCLXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Vision of the dry bones First Line: Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye Lyrics: 1 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
See Adam's race in ruin lie;
Sin spreads its trophies o'er the ground,
And scatters slaughter'd heaps around.
2 And can these mouldering corpses live?
And can these perish'd bones revive.
That mighty God, to thee is known;
That wondrous work is all thy own.
3 Thy ministers are sent in vain
To prophesy upon the slain;
In vain they call, in vain they cry,
'Till thine almighty aid is nigh.
4 But if thy spirit deign to breathe,
Life spreads thro' all the realms of death:
Dry bones obey thy powerful voice;
They move, they waken, they rejoice,
5 So when thy trumpet's awful sound
Shall shake the Heav'ns and rend the ground
Dead saints shall from their tombs arise,
And spring to life beyond the skies.

The vision of faith
He climbed the mountain; and behold
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #49 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Pisgah-vision Lyrics:
He climb'd the mountain; and behold!
The land before him lay;
Here Jordan's bounding waters roll'd,
There Carmel stretch'd away.
From northern Lebanon, outspread,
To Araby the wild,
Where strangers' lives the Patriarchs led,
Their promised Canaan smiled:
A land of fountains and of rills,
Pure milk and honey flow'd;
Whose stones were iron; from whose hills
Brass in the furnace glow'd:
53
A land of corn, and wine, and oil,
Whose trees with fruitage hung,
While birds, to soothe the labourers' toil,
Amid the branches sung.
Valleys stood thick with golden grain,
Goats bounded on the rocks,
And white and dark, on slope and plain,
Roam'd pasturing herds and flocks.
But all the soil with blood was stain'd,
Revenge and rapine strove;
Pagan abominations reign'd
In every haunted grove.
From cities populous and proud
The shrieks of children came,
Where drums and cymbals led the crowd,
Round Moloch's altar-flame.
The Vision changed;--then Moses saw
The Idols overthrown,
God out of Zion giving law,
God worship'd there alone.
And still the vision grew more bright;
On humble Bethlehem shined
The star of Jacob, and a light
To lighten all mankind,
In silent trance the prophet gazed:
"It is enough," he cried;
His hands with holy rapture raised,
Saw the Lord's Christ, and died.
His spirit return'd to God who gave:
His body, nowhere found,
54
Shall keep the secret of its grave
Till the last trumpet sound.

Christ, you call us all to service
Author: Joy F. Patterson, 1931- Hymnal: The Book of Praise #585 (1997) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Topics: Vision / Dream Lyrics: 1 Christ, you call us all to service,
call us all who follow you;
plant in us a deep commitment
all your work and will to do.
Fire a passion for your justice,
in us kindle love of peace;
help us heal the broken-hearted;
to the captive bring release.
2 Teach us how to work together,
brother, sister, side by side,
equal partners in the struggle,
in the cause of truth allied.
To each one some gift is given–
man or woman, young or old;
help us use each skill and talent,
your great purpose to unfold.
3 Let us be a servant people,
reconciling, ending strife,
seeking ways more just of sharing
and of ordering human life.
Fill us with a glowing vision
of this world as it should be;
send us forth to change that vision
into blest reality. Scripture: Luke 4:18-19 Languages: English Tune Title: IN BABILONE

O God, You Gave Your Servant John
Author: Joy F. Patterson Hymnal: Voices United #718 (1996) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Vision/Dream Lyrics: 1 O Lord, you gave your servant John
a vision of the world to come:
a radiant city filled with light,
where you with us will make your home;
where neither grief nor pain shall dwell,
since former things have passed away,
and where they need no sun nor moon;
your glory lights eternal day.
2 Our cities wear great shrouds of pain;
beneath our gleaming towers of wealth
the homeless crouch in rain and snow,
the poor cry out for strength and health.
Youth’s hope is dimmed by ignorance;
unwilling, workers idled stand;
indifference walks unheeding by
as hunger stretches out its hand.
3 Come, Lord, make real John’s vision fair;
come, dwell with us, make all things new;
we try in vain to save our world
unless our help shall come from you.
Come, strengthen us to live in love;
bid hatred, greed, injustice cease.
Your glory all the light we need,
let all our cities shine forth peace. Tune Title: CANDLER
