Jesus soon will come again, Saints with Him shall rise and reign, Heav'n and earth in songs combine, All the worlds in chorus join; Ev'ry tongue the music swell, Now's the day of Israel! Ev'ry tongue the music swell, Now's the day of Israel! Languages: English Tune Title: [Hark! ye mortals. Hist! be still]

Shall I, for Fear of Feeble Man

Hymnal: LDSC1919 #15 (1919) Lyrics: 1. Shall I, for fear of feeble man. The Spirit's course in me restrain? Or undismayed in deed and word Be a true witness for the Lord? Awed by a mortal's frown, shall I Conceal the word of God most high? How then before Thee shall I dare To stand, or how Thine anger bear? 2. Shall I, to soothe th' unholy throng, Soften Thy truths and smooth my tongue, To gain earth's gilded toys or flee The cross, my God, endured by Thee? What, then, is he whose scorn I dread, Whose wrath or hate makes me afraid? A man - an heir of death - a slave To sin - a bubble on the wave. 3. Yea, let men rage, since Thou wilt spread Thy shadowy wings around my head, Since in all pain, Thy tender love. Will still my sure refreshment prove. Savior of men, Thy searching eye Doth all my inmost thoughts descry; Doth aught on earth my wishes raise, The world's vain pleasures, or its praise? 4. The love of Christ doth me constrain To seek the wand'ring souls of men; With cries, entreaties, tears to save, To snatch them from the gaping grave. For this let men revile my name, No cross I shun, I fear no shame- All hail reproach! and welcome pain! Thy terrors only Lord, restrain. 5. My life, my blood, I here present, If for Thy truth they may be spent; Fulfil Thy sov'reign counsel, Lord; Thy will be done, Thy name adored Give of Thy strength, O God of pow'r Then let winds blow, or thunders roar, Thy faithful witness will I be: 'Tis fixed- I can do all through Thee.

Glorious Things Are Sung of Zion

Hymnal: LDSC1919 #18 (1919) Lyrics: 1. Glorious things are sung of Zion, Enoch's city seen of old, Where the righteous, being perfect, Walked with God in streets of gold. Love and virtue, faith and wisdom, Grace and gifts were all combined; As himself each loved his neighbor; All were one in heart and mind. 2. There they shunn'd the pow'r of Satan, And observed celestial laws; For in Adam-ondi-Ahman Zion rose where Eden was. When beyond the power of evil, So that none could covet wealth, One continual feast of blessings Crown’d their days with peace and health. 3. Then the towers of Zion glittered Like the sun in yonder skies, And the wicked stood and trembled, Fill'd with wonder and surprise: Then their faith and works were perfect– Lo, they followed their great Head; So the city went to heaven, And the world said, Zion's fled! 4. When the Lord returns to Zion, And we hear the watchman cry, Then we'll surely be united, And we'll all see eye to eye; Then we'll mingle with the angels, And the Lord will bless His own; Then the earth will be as Eden, And we'll know as we are known Languages: English Tune Title: [Glorious things are sung of Zion]
