Author: Harriet Auber Appears in 78 hymnals First Line: Vainly, through night's weary hours Lyrics: 1 Vainly, through night's weary hours, Keep we watch, lest foes alarm; Vain our bulwarks, and our towers, But for God's protecting arm. 2 Vain were all our toil and labor, Did not God that labor bless; Vain, without his grace and favor, Every talent we possess. 3 Vainer still the hope of heaven, That on human strength relies; But to him shall help be given, Who in humble faith applies. 4 Seek we, then, the Lord's Anointed; He will grant us peace and rest; Ne'er was suppliant disappointed, Who thro' Christ his prayer addressed.

Eternal Father, Thou Hast Said

Author: Ray Palmer Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Eternal Father, Thou hast said That Christ all glory shall obtain; That He who once a suff’rer bled Shall o’er the world a conqu’ror reign. 2. We wait Thy triumph, Savior King, Long ages have prepared Thy way; Now all abroad Thy banner fling, Set time’s great battle in array. 3. Thy hosts are mustered to the field; The cross! the cross! the battle call; The old grim towers of darkness yield, And soon shall totter to their fall. 4. On mountain tops the watch fires glow, Where scattered wide the watchmen stand; Voice echoes voice, and onward flow The joyous shouts from land to land. 5. Oh, fill the Church with faith and power! Bid her long nights of weeping cease; To groaning nations haste the hour Of life and freedom, light and peace. 6. Come, Spirit, make Thy wonders known, Fulfill the Father’s high decree; Then earth, the might of hell o’er thrown, Shall keep her last great jubilee.
