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. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. MAGNUS
Behod! the mountain of the Lord
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

Author: Dr. Timothy Dwight, 1752-1817 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #193 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God The Church Lyrics: 1 I love Thy kingdom, Lord,
The house of Thine abode,
The Church our blest Redeemer saves
With His own precious blood.
2 I love Thy Church, O God!
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. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. AUGUSTINE

All wrong shall stand revealed;
When justice shall be clothed with might,
And every hurt be healed.
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
Shall walk the earth abroad;

Great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,
And rule in equity.

To those who suffer wrong;
To help the poor and needy,
And bid the weak be strong;
To give them songs for sighing,
Their darkness turn to light,
Whose souls, condemned and dying,
Were precious in His sight.

Upon the fruitful earth;
Love, joy, and hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth.

Shall peace the herald go;
And righteousness in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.

And gold and incense bring;
All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing;
For Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.

He on His throne shall rest;
From age to age more glorious,
All-blessing and all-blest.
The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His name shall stand for ever,
His changeless name of Love. Languages: English Tune Title: CRUGER

See how great a flame aspires
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #286 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Missions Lyrics: 1 See how great a flame aspires,
Kindled by a spark of grace!
Jesus' love the nations fires,
Sets the kingdoms on a blaze;
To bring fire on earth He came,
Kindled in some hearts it is;
O that all might catch the flame,
All partake the glorious bliss!
2 When He first the work begun,
Small and feeble was His day;
Now the word doth swiftly run,
Now it wins its widening way;
More and more it spreads and grows,
Ever mighty to prevail,
Sin's strongholds it now o'erthrows,
Shakes the trembling gates of hell.
3 Sons of God, your Saviour praise!
He the door hath opened wide;
He hath given the word of grace,
Jesus' word is glorified;
Jesus, mighty to redeem,
He alone the work hath wrought;
Worthy is the work of Him,
Him who spake a world from nought.
4 Saw ye not the cloud arise,
Little as a human hand
Now it spreads along the skies,
Hangs o'er all the thirsty land;
Lo! the promise of a shower
Drops already from above;
But the Lord will shortly pour
All the Spirit of His love!

Our Helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great,
And, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
2 Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabbaoth is His name,
From age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
3 And though this world, with devils filled,
Should threaten to undo us;
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
The prince of darkness grim,
We tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure,
For lo! his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
4 That Word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours,
Through Him who with us sideth.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also;
The body they may kill;
God's truth abideth still,
His kingdom is for ever.

O day of God, draw nigh
According to Thy gracious word
Author: J. Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #257 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Ordinances Lyrics: 1 According to Thy gracious word,
In meek humility,
This will I do, my dying Lord,
I will remember Thee!
2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Thee!
3 Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember Thee!
4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
And rest on Calvary,
O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice,
I must remember Thee!
5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me;
Yes, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee.
6 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt in Thy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me! Languages: English Tune Title: DUNDEE
According to Thy gracious word
Hark, my soul, it is the Lord
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #329 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism Lyrics: 1 Hark, my soul, it is the Lord;
'Tis thy Saviour; hear His word;
Jesus speaks, and speaks to thee
"Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?
2 "I delivered thee when bound,
And, when bleeding, healed thy wound;
Sought thee wandering, set thee right,
Turned thy darkness into light.
3 "Can a woman's tender care
Cease toward the child she bare?
Yes, she may forgetful be,
Yet will I remember thee.
4 "Mine is an unchanging love,
Higher than the heights above;
Deeper than the depths beneath,
Free and faithful, strong as death.
5 "Thou shalt see My glory soon,
When the work of grace is done;
Partner of My throne shalt be;
Say, poor sinner, lov'st thou Me?"
6 Lord, it is my chief complaint
That my love is cold and faint;
Yet I love Thee and adore,
O for grace to love Thee more!

Author: Bp. R. Heber, 1783-1826 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #358a (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 The Son of God goes forth to war,
A kingly crown to gain;
His blood-red banner streams afar:
Who follows in His train?
Who best can drink His cup of woe,
Triumphant over pain,
Who patient bears His cross below,
He follows in His train.
2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,
Who saw his Master in the sky,
And called on Him to save.
Like Him, with pardon on his tongue,
In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong;
Who follows in his train?
3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,
Twelve valiant saints, their hope they knew,
And mocked the cross and flame.
They met the tyrant's brandished steel,
The lion's gory mane,
They bowed their necks the death to feel:
Who follows in their train?
4 A noble army, men and boys,
The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,
In robes of light arrayed.
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven
Through peril, toil, and pain;
O God! to us may grace be given
To follow in their train! Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS NEW

The Son of God goes forth to war
O Son of God, our Captain of salvation
Author: Rev. John Ellerton (1826-1893) Hymnal: The Hymnal #386 (1950) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Topics: The Kingdom of God on Earth Missions Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, our Captain of salvation,
Thyself by suffering schooled to human grief,
We bless Thee for Thy sons of consolation,
Who follow in the steps of Thee their Chief;
2 Those whom Thy Spirit's dread vocation severs
To lead the vanguard of Thy conquering host;
Whose toilsome years are spent in brave endeavors
To bear Thy saving Name from coast to coast;
3 And all true helpers, patient, kind, and skillful,
Who shed Thy light across our darkened earth,
Counsel the doubting, and restrain the willful,
Soothe the sick bed, and share the children's mirth.
4 Thus, Lord, Thy blessed saints in memory keeping,
Still be Thy Church's watchword, "Comfort ye,"
Till in our Father's house shall end all weeping,
And every want be satisfied in Thee.
Amen. Tune Title: DONNE SECOURS
O Son of God, our Captain of salvation
Splendour of the thoughts of God
Author: W. Russell Bowie, 1882- Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #388 (1917) Topics: The Church and the Kingdom of God Social Service Lyrics: 1 Splendour of the thoughts of God
For the life of men,
Visions of the saints and seers
Burn for us again!
From the night of ancient wrongs
Wake our eyes to see
Dawning in the skies the day
God shall bring to be.
2 Lo, from out the heavy dark
Strained and haggard eyes
Turn toward that breaking dawn
With their dumb surmise
Women from their tragic shame,
Weary men who bow
To the burden of the world
Cry Thy coming now!
3 Shame of all our lust and greed,
Shame of lives that lie
Couched in ease while down their streets
Pain and want go by
In the twilight of our sins,
These we suffer long,
While our strength lies dull before
Earth's unrighted wrong.
4 Splendour of the thoughts of God
Through the shadows rise,
Burn the films of self and sin
From our blinded eyes!
Penitents, we come to learn
What we ought to do;
Give the vision then, O God,
Strength to make it true!
