We Read of a Wonderful City
Isaiah the prophet has written of old
Author: Joy F. Patterson (b. 1931) Hymnal: Wonder, Love, and Praise #723 (1997) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D Lyrics: 1 Isaiah the prophet has written of old
how God's earthly kingdom shall come.
Instead of the thorn tree the fir tree shall grow;
the wolf shall lie down with the lamb.
The mountains and hills shall break forth into song,
The peoples be led forth in peace.
For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of God
as the waters cover the seas.
2 Yet nations still prey on the meek of the world.
And conflict turns parent from child.
Your people despoil all the sweetness of earth;
the brier and the thorn grow wild.
Lord, hasten to bring in your kingdom on earth,
when no one shall hurt or destroy.
When wisdom and justice shall reign in the land
and your people shall go forth in joy. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Advent and Christmas Scripture: Isaiah 11:5-9 Languages: English Tune Title: SAMANTHRA

When Jesus Came Preaching
Author: Fred Pratt Green, b. 1903 Hymnal: RitualSong #773 (1996) Meter: 11.8.11.8 D First Line: When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God
With the love that has pow'r to persuade,
The sick were made whole, both in body and soul,
And even the demons obeyed.
But he needed a few he could trust to be true,
To share in his work from the start:
When Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God,
God's gift to the humble of heart.
2 Since Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of God,
What a change in our lives he has made!
How many have shared in the joy of their Lord,
In self-giving have loved and obeyed!
But let none of us doubt what religion's about,
Or by what it is shamed and betrayed:
Do justly, love mercy, walk humbly with God,
Is the rule of life Jesus obeyed.
3 Still Jesus comes preaching the Kingdom of God
In a world that is sick and afraid;
His gospel has spread like the leaven in bread
By the love that has a pow'r to persuade.
So let none of us swerve from our mission to serve,
That has made us his Church from the start,
May Jesus, the light of the world, send us out
In the strength of the humble of heart.

He Answered Never a Word
Author: Unknown Hymnal: Timeless Truths #811 Meter: 11.8.11.8 D First Line: A friendless pris'ner at Pilate's bar Lyrics: 1 A friendless pris’ner at Pilate’s bar,
’Mid the raging mob He stood;
Like wolves that had scented His blood from afar
And eagerly Him pursued;
The voice of these murd’rers was heard as they cried,
Till Jerusalem’s city was stirred;
“Away with Him, let Him be crucified”;
But He answered never a word.
2 The priests and the elders with fiendish spite,
Accused Him of many things;
But His face was radiant with heavenly light,
He could hear the sound of wings;
And Pilate marveled to see Him there,
As each wicked charge he heard,
His mute lips moved as in silent prayer,
But He answered never a word.
3 With fiercest hatred his foes pressed on,
To kill Him their greatest desire;
The faith of His foll’wers was almost gone,
Must the last faint spark expire?
Will He meekly yield in His dreadful hour,
When a murderer is preferred?
He who raised the dead, has He lost His pow’r?
But He answered never a word.
4 Then they brought the cross that Barabbas should fill,
He, a murderer, now to go free;
And they laid in on Jesus to bear up the hill,
To purchase salvation for me;
Though hungry and thirsty, and bleeding and cold,
Not a sigh passed His lips that was heard;
He trembled a moment, then sank to the ground,
But He answered never a word.
5 The rabble with spite and revenge urged them on,
Till He came to Calvary’s brow,
Where they nailed His hands and His feet to the cross—
O sinner, look on him now!
Then raising the cross, oh, what suff’ring and pain!
Till the earth and the heavens were stirred,
But the suffering Jesus with meekness endured,
But He answered never a word.
6 But there hung by His side a thief, broken and sad,
With sins that were all his own,
And he cried, “Dear Lord, remember me
When Thou sittest on Thy throne”;
And the Savior turned and looked upon him,
His compassion deep was stirred;
And peace, sweet peace He shed o’er that soul—
He could answer him with a word. Topics: Jesus/Savior Scripture: Matthew 27:14 Tune Title: [A friendless pris'ner at Pilate's bar]

O Brother, Be Faithful
Author: Uriah Smith Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4713 Meter: 11.8.11.8 D First Line: O brother, be faithful! Soon Jesus will come Lyrics: 1. O brother, be faithful! Soon Jesus will come,
For whom we have waited so long;
O, soon we shall enter our glorious home,
And join in the conqueror’s song.
O brother, be faithful! For why should we prove
Unfaithful to Him who hath shown
Such deep, such unbounded and infinite love—
Who died to redeem us His own.
2. O brother, be faithful! The city of gold,
Prepared for the good and the blest,
Is waiting its portals of pearl to unfold,
And welcome thee into thy rest.
Then, brother, prove faithful! Not long shall we stay
In weariness here, and forlorn,
Time’s dark night of sorrow is wearing away,
We haste to the glorious morn.
3. O brother, be faithful! He soon will descend,
Creation’s omnipotent King,
While legions of angels His chariot attend,
And palm wreaths of victory bring.
O brother, be faithful! and soon shalt thou hear
Thy Savior pronounce the glad word,
Well done, faithful servant; thy title is clear
To enter the joy of thy Lord.
4. O brother, be faithful! Eternity’s years
Shall tell for thy faithfulness now,
When bright smiles of gladness shall scatter thy tears,
A coronet gleam on thy brow.
O brother, be faithful! The promise is sure,
That waits for the faithful and tried;
To reign with the ransomed, immortal and pure,
And ever with Jesus abide. Languages: English Tune Title: FAITHFUL
O Brother, Be Faithful

He’s tenderly calling for you;
Go work in His vineyard, great wages He’ll pay,
O trust the great Friend who is true.

Step out on the promise of God, my brother,
Step out where the blood can heal;
O carry your burden of sin no further,
But unto the Savior yield.

The world can not give you release;
Step out from sin’s darkness into the great light,
And Jesus will give you sweet peace. [Refrain]

He says He will pardon today;
Come humbly believing, repent, Him confess,
And every commandment obey. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: MANISA
