Should You Feel Inclined to Censure

Appears in 11 hymnals First Line: Should you feel inclin'd to censure Lyrics: 1. Should you feel inclin’d to censure Faults you may in others view, Ask your own heart, ere you venture, If that has not failings too. Let not friendly vows be broken; Rather strive a friend to gain; Many a word in anger spoken Find its passage home again. 2. Do not, then, in idle pleasure, Trifle with a brother’s fame; Guard it as a valued treasure, Sacred as your own good name. Do not form opinions blindly; Hastiness to trouble tends; Those of whom we tho’t unkindly, Oft become our warmest friends. Used With Tune: [Should you feel inclin'd to censure]

From Greenland's Icy Mountains

Author: Heber Appears in 1,689 hymnals Lyrics: 1. From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand Where Afric's sunny fountains, Roll down their golden sand, From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2. What, tho' the spicy breezes Blow soft o'er Ceylon's isle; Tho' ev'ry prospect pleases, And only man is vile? In vain with lavish kindness The gifts of God are strewn; The heathen in his blindness Bows down to wood and stone. 3. Shall we, whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high– Shall we, to men benighted, The lamp of life deny? Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till earth's remotest nation Has learned Messiah's name. 4. Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature, The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign. Used With Tune: [From Greenland's icy mountains]

An Angel From On High

An angel from on high, The long, long silence broke; Descending from the sky These gracious words he spoke: Lo! in Cumorah's lonely hill, A sacred record lies concealed 2. Sealed by Moroni's hand, It has for ages lain, To wait the Lord's command, From dust to speak again. It shall again to light come forth, To usher in Christ's reign on earth. 3. It speaks of Joseph's seed, And makes the remmant known Of nations long since dead, Who once had dwelt alone. The fulness of the Gospel, too, Its pages will reveal to view. 4.
