Author: Clara H. Thwaites Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: They came from lands of orient light Lyrics: 1 They came from lands of orient light, By glorious hopes inspired: Their eyes had seen the Day-star bright, By nations long desired; What burning message from the skies Had swept across each soul? What midnight call had turned their eyes To seek blest Israel’s goal? 2 Had captive exiles, weeping sore, Zion’s Redeemer sung, Till Zion’s song forevermore Through alien lands had rung? Had merchandise, with better things Than frankincense for fame, Wafted among those eastern kings The fragrance of a name? 3 The name Emmanuel? did they yearn To know His scepter’s rule? And fain would sage or monarch learn In favored Israel’s school? Oh! songs of wonder rang of old Across the waters blue, When Egypt’s billows backward rolled To let the tribes pass through! 4 And echoes of triumphant psalms, And prayers for Zion’s King, Still whispered, ’mid the desert palms, From Israel, wandering. A poet sang in grandest strain Of Jacob’s Morning Star— Of One whose still increasing reign Should bless the nations far. 5 And while the tented warriors lay In Moab’s plain below, Prophetic lips, though tempted, may Utter no word of woe. He blessed the happy tribes! He saw Where Judah crouched to spring— The conquering Lion, He whose law Subject the world should bring. 6 Then Arnon sang a thunder psalm Amid his dark ravines! While answering torrents broke the calm Amid the somber pines. And so the glad evangel crept, As twilight into day; And so the glad evangel swept The gloom of night away. 7 And some it meets with meteor flash, In midnight vigil giv’n, And some it greets with cymbal clash, And herald songs from Heav’n! Let all who hear, obey! and rise To greet the coming King— With eastern pilgrims timely wise Their eager homage bring! 8 They journeyed on. Moons waxed and waned, Yet glowed faith’s deathless fires: Vast plains were crossed, or ere they gained The land of fond desires. And pilgrim raptures greet them now, The rippling fords they throng. O winding Jordan, greet them now With cataract and song! 9 Through dark ravine, where torrents leap, Through gorge and keen crevasse, The burdened camels climb the steep Ascent of mountain pass. The Holy Mount they view afar; The rocky fastness gleams— At last the longing pilgrims reach The city of their dreams! 10 One thought is theirs, one eager quest, The King—O where is He? Though palace fair holds not such guest, They yearn His face to see. Ring out, prophetic song, and tell Where Israel’s scepter lies! And where the Prince of Peace may dwell, Show, meteor in the skies! 11 They come! they come! A little child With beckoning hand, doth call; They bend before the Undefiled— The Lord and God of all. And gold and incense, treasures meet For earth’s divinest king, They pour in worship at His feet— The Gentiles’ offering. 12 They learn the name of saving health, By herald angels giv’n: The world wide treasury of wealth Outpoured from bounteous Heav’n On us! For fellow heirs are we With Zion. Who can tell Our mercies, treasures, glories free— Riches unsearchable? 13 What bring we to our saving God, With heart and hand uplift? O’er waste and wild the sages trod, For worship and for gift. O laggard race to own the King! Closed hands shall work us woe! Fleet foot and open hand would bring The Church a swift inflow. 14 Yea, they would come from east, from west, Obedient to Love’s call— Would fly, as doves to seek their rest Ere midnight shadows fall. We lose by our withholding—choose Fair lot apart from pain. The life so saved, alas! we lose, And Rachel mourns her slain. 15 We yield our treasures to the world, Our sons for earthly fame, Although our banner brave unfurled Bears Christ’s victorious name. Let Him take all! Fair childhood’s dreams, And manhood’s forceful fires; And let Him turn youth’s rapturous streams To work His grand desires. 16 Let Him take all! Not yet we find Wherewith to serve our Lord. Let not a hoof be left behind, According to His Word! Return, calm age of simple need, Wealth’s fullness boldly cast At Christ’s own feet—if true our creed, Of Love’s enthusiast! 17 He will be no man’s debtor! Swift He’ll rain His gifts on thee; Transmute to gold thy honest gift By Heav’n’s own alchemy! O Church of Christ! arise and prove Thy unused wealth in Him; Closed hands have shown thy waning love, Thy faith and hope grown dim. 18 We see not yet what bright increase May wait on homely gift; His miracles shall never cease To bless with answer swift. We see not yet what undreamed powers May spring from lowly faith; Let us believe all things are ours, For so the Master saith. 19 Still let the old heroic blood, Which stirred in eastern sage, Impel to eager, earnest mood This doubting, selfish age. And doubt, for idle dreamers meet, And scorn, of darkness born, Shall end in worship at His feet, Who is our Star of Morn.

Jehovah, to My Prayer Give Ear

Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jehovah, to my prayer give ear, Nor hide Thee from my cry; Attend my sad complaint, and hear My restless moan and sigh. My enemies lift up their voice, The violent oppress; To do me wrong my foes rejoice, And love my soul’s distress. 2. Sore pained in heart I find no ease, Death’s terrors fill my soul, Great fear and trembling on me seize, And horrors o’er me roll. O had I wings, I sigh and say, Like some swift dove to roam, Then I would hasten far away And a find a peaceful home. 3. Lo, wandering far, my rest would be In some lone desert waste; I from the stormy wind would flee, And to a shelter haste. O Lord, their malice recompense Their wicked tongues confound, For in the city violence And bitter strife abound. 4. They walk her walls both night and day, Within all vices meet; Oppression, fraud and crime hold sway, Nor leave the crowded street. No foreign foe provokes alarm, But enemies within; May God destroy their power to harm And recompense their sin.

With Earnest Longings of the Mind

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: 1. With earnest longings of the mind, My God, to Thee I look: So pants the hunted hart to find And taste the cooling brook. 2. When shall I see Thy courts of grace, And meet my God again? So long an absence from Thy face My heart endures with pain. 3. Temptations vex my weary soul, And tears are my repast; The foe insults without control, And where’s your God at last? 4. ’Tis with a mournful pleasure now I think on ancient days; Then to Thy house did numbers go, And all our work was praise. 5. But why, my soul, sunk down so far, Beneath this heavy load? Why do my thoughts indulge despair, And sin against my God? 6. Hope in the Lord, whose mighty hand Can all thy woes remove, For I shall yet before Him stand, And sing restoring love. Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Return, O God of love, return; Earth is a tiresome place: How long shall we, Thy children, mourn Our absence from Thy face? Let Heav’n succeed our painful years, Let sin and sorrow cease, And in proportion to our tears So make our joys increase. 2. Thy wonders to Thy servants show, Make Thy own work complete; Then shall our souls Thy glory know, And own Thy love was great. Then shall we shine before Thy throne In all Thy beauty, Lord; And the poor service we have done Meet a divine reward. Used With Tune: VOX DILECTI Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
