O Say, What is Truth?

Author: John Jaques Appears in 14 hymnals First Line: O say, what is truth? 'Tis the fairest gem Lyrics: 1. Oh say, what is truth? ’Tis the fairest gem That the riches of worlds can produce; And priceless the value of truth will be when The proud monarch’s costliest diadem Is counted but dross and refuse. 2. Yes, say, what is truth? ’Tis the brightest prize To which mortals or Gods can aspire: Go search in the depths where it glittering lies, Or ascend in pursuit to the loftiest skies; ’Tis an aim for the noblest desire. 3. The sceptre may fall from the despot’s grasp, When with winds of stern justice he copes, But the pillar of truth will endure to the last, And its firm-rooted bulwarks out-stand the rude blast, And the wreck of the fell tyrant’s hopes. 4. Then say, what is truth? ’Tis the last and the first, For the limits of time it steps o’er: Tho’ the heavens depart, and the earth’s fountains burst, Truth, the sum of existence, will weather the worst, Eternal, unchanged, evermore. Used With Tune: [O say, what is truth? 'Tis the fairest gem]

Come, O Thou King of Kings

Author: P. P. Pratt Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, O thou King of kings– We've waited long for Thee,– With healing in Thy wings, To set Thy people free; Come, Thou desire, of nations, come, Let Israel now be gathered home. 2. Come, make an end to sin, And cleanse the earth by fire, And righteousness bring in, That Saints may tune the lyre, With songs of joy, a happier strain, To welcome in Thy peaceful reign. 3. Hosannas now shall sound From all the ransomed throng. And glory echo round A new triumphal song; The wide expanse of heaven fill With anthems sweet from Zion's hill. 4. Hail! Prince of Life and Peace! Thrice welcome to Thy throne! While all the chosen race Their Lord and Savior own. The heathen nations bow the knee, And every tongue sounds praise to thee. Used With Tune: [Come, O Thou King of kings]

The sick on whom the oil is poured, And hands in meekness laid, Are by the power of God restored, Through faith, as Jesus said. [Refrain] 7.

To Zion's mount shall saviors come, Their thousands bring to rest, Who through the great Millennium, Shall be among the blest. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Come, listen to a Prophet's voice]
