Behod! the mountain of the Lord

Author: Michael Bruce, 1746-1767 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #271 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 Behold! the mountain of the Lord In latter days shall rise On mountain-tops above the hills, And draw the wondering eyes. 2 To this the joyful nations round, All tribes and tongues, shall flow; Up to the hill of God, they'll say And to His house we'll go. 3 The team that shines from Zion's hill Shall lighten every land; The King who reigns in Salem's towers Shall all the world command. 4 Among the nations He shall judge; His judgments truth shall guide; His scepter shall protect the just And quell the sinner's pride. 5 No strife shall rage, nor hostile feuds Disturb those peaceful years; To ploughshares men shall beat their swords, To pruning-hooks their spears. 6 No longer hosts, encountering hosts, Shall crowds of slain deplore; They'll hang the trumpet in the hall, And study war no more. 7 Come, then, O house of Jacob! come To worship at His shrine, And, walking in the light of God, With holy beauties shine.

The light of God is falling

Author: Rev. Louis F. Benson Hymnal: The Hymnal #400 (1950) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Brotherhood Lyrics: 1 The light of God is falling Upon life's common way; The Master's voice still calling, "Come, walk with Me today"; No duty can seem lowly To him who lives with Thee, And all of life grows holy, O Christ of Galilee! 2 Who shares his life's pure pleasures, And walks the honest road, Who trades with heaping measures, And lifts his brother's load, Who turns the wrong down bluntly, And lends the right a hand, He dwells in God's own country, He tills the Holy Land. 3 Where human lives are thronging In toil and pain and sin, While cloistered hearts are longing To bring the Kingdom in, O Christ, the Elder Brother Of proud and beaten men, When they have found each other, Thy Kingdom will come then! 4 Thy ransomed host in glory, All souls that sin and pray, Turn toward the cross that bore Thee; "Behold the Man!" they say: And while Thy Church is pleading For all who would do good, We hear Thy true voice leading Our song of brotherhood. Amen. Tune Title: GREENLAND

Her walls before Thee stand, Dear as the apple of Thine eye, And graven on Thine hand. 3 For her my tears shall fall, For her my prayers ascend; To her my cares and toils be given, Till toils and cares shall end. 4 Beyond my highest joy I prize her heavenly ways, Her sweet communion, solemn vows, Her hymns of love and praise. 5 Sure as Thy truth shall last, To Zion shall be given The brightest glories earth can yield, And brighter bliss of heaven.
