Look Beyond
Author: Harold B. Adams Meter: 10.9.10.9 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Traveler on the road of sin and sorrow Refrain First Line: Look beyond! the clouds are parting slowly Lyrics: 1 Traveler on the road of sin and sorrow,
Baffled by the storms, and in despair,
Fear not, for the dawn will come tomorrow,
When will flee all trials, toil and care.
Refrain:
Look beyond! the clouds are parting slowly;
Look beyond! to pearly gates so fair;
Look beyond! where rest the meek and lowly;
Look beyond! the crowns and palms are there.
2 There are trials that we must encounter,
Overcome we must our stubborn wills;
Fly to Jesus, then, the living water—
He can wash and cleanse us from all ills. [Refrain]
3 Look beyond, there’s rest just over yonder;
Soon we’ll leave this earthly house of clay;
If we’re ready, freely death may sunder.
Bright will dawn the light of perfect day. [Refrain]

We Have Heard The Joyful News
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 We have heard the joyful news,
Now let others hear it;
Bear the tidings to the Jews,
To the nations bear it.
They who know the joyful sound,
Never should conceal it;
But to all the world around,
Far and wide reveal it.
2 Joyful news the Gospel is,
And to thought confounding;
Wonder, O ye heav’ns, at this:
Sing of grace abounding;
Grace like this was never known,
God our nature wearing;
Making human guilt His own,
And our sorrows bearing.
3 Spread abroad the joyful sound,
Fly in all directions;
Speak to men the world around,
Men of all complexions;
All are sinners, needing grace,
God’s own Word has said it;
Go with speed to every place,
And unwearied spread it.
4 And may He whose grace it is,
Give the Word a blessing;
Make the conquered nations His,
Every ill redressing.
May He take the veil away,
All the earth o’erspreading;
And His mighty power display,
All our hopes exceeding. Used With Tune: ST. KEVIN Text Sources: Hymns Not Before Published (Dublin: Thomas Johnston, 1815)

The day that aye shall last.

By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.

O Lord, How Shall I Meet You?
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals First Line: O Lord, how shall I meet You Lyrics: 1. O Lord, how shall I meet You,
how welcome you aright?
Your people long to greet You,
my hope, my heart’s delight!
O kindle, Lord most holy,
a lamp within my breast,
To do in spirit lowly
all that may please You best.
2. Love caused Your incarnation,
love brought You down to me;
Your thirst for my salvation
procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
that led you to embrace
In love all loves excelling
our lost and fallen race.
3. A glorious crown You gave me,
a treasure safe on high,
That will not fail nor leave me
as earthly riches fly.
My heart shall bloom forever
for You with praises new,
And from Your name shall never
withhold the honor due.
Alternate Translation, by A. T. Russell 1851:
1. O how shall I receive Thee,
How meet Thee on Thy way;
Blest hope of every nation,
My soul’s delight and stay?
O Jesus, Jesus, give me,
By Thine illuming light,
To know whate’er is pleasing
And welcome in Thy sight.
2. Thy Zion palms is strewing
With branches fresh and fair;
And every soul awaking,
Her anthem shall prepare;
Perpetual thanks and praises
Forth from our hearts shall spring;
And to Thy name the service
Of all our powers we bring.
3. O ye who sorrow, sinking
Beneath your grief and pain,
Rejoice in His appearing,
Who shall your souls sustain;
He comes, He comes with gladness!
How great is His good-will!
He comes, all grief and anguish
Shall at His Word be still.
4. Ye who with guilty terror
Are trembling, fear no more;
With love and grace the Savior
Shall you to hope restore:
He comes, who contrite sinners
Will with the children place,
The children of His Father,
The heirs of life and grace.
5. He comes, the Lord, to judgment;
Woe, woe to them who hate!
To those who love and seek Him
He opes the heavenly gate.
Come quickly, gracious Savior,
And gather us to Thee,
That in the light eternal
Our joyous home may be.

To do in spirit lowly
All that may please Thee best.

Thy glories to proclaim;
With all her strength and gladness
She fain would serve Thy name.

Thou com’st to set me free;
I stood, my shame bemoaning,
Thou com’st to honor me.
A glory Thou dost give me,
A treasure safe on high,
That will not fail nor leave me
As earthly riches fly.

Procured my liberty.

Who sit in deepest gloom,
Who mourn o’er joys departed,
And tremble at your doom:

And bids you weep no more. Used With Tune: VALET WILL ICH DIR GEBEN Text Sources: D. M. Luthers und anderer vornehmen geistreichen und gelehrten Männer geistliche Lieder und Psalmen, by Christoph Runge (Berlin: 1653); translation in Chorale Book for England, 1863, alt.

O Thou Whose Hand Hath Brought Us
Author: Frederick W. Goadby Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Thou whose hand hath brought us
Unto this joyful day,
Accept our glad thanksgiving,
And listen as we pray;
And may our preparation
For this day’s service be
With one accord to offer
Ourselves, O Lord, to Thee.

Reared at Thine own command,
For every generous spirit,
And every willing hand;
And now within Thy temple
Thy glory let us see,
For all its strength and beauty
Are nothing without Thee.

And hearts in worship blend,
May truth reveal its power,
And fervent prayers ascend;
Here may the busy toiler
Rise to the things above;
The young, the old, be strengthened,
And all men learn Thy love.

And strong affections twine,
And tender mem’ries gather
About this sacred shrine,
May this its chief distinction,
Its glory, ever be,
That multitudes within it
Have found their way to Thee.
5. Lord God, our fathers’ helper,
Our joy, and hope and stay:
Grant now a gracious earnest
Of many a coming day.

Make this new house Thine own. Used With Tune: WEBB Text Sources: Baptist Hymnal, 1879
