Rise, O Salem, Rise and Shine

Author: Johann Rist; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Salem, rise and shine; Lo, the Gentiles hail thy waking: Herald of a morn divine, See the Dayspring o’er us breaking, Telling God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2 O how blindly did we stray, Ere this Sun our earth had brightened; Heaven we sought not, for no ray Had our wildered eyes enlightened: All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 3 But the Dayspring from on high Hath arisen with beams unclouded, And we see before Him fly All the heavy gloom that shrouded This sad earth, where sin and woe Seemed to reign o’er all below. 4 Thine appearing, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thine appearing, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Whether joys or tears be mine, Through them still Thy light shall shine. 5 Let me, when my course is run, Calmly leave a world of sadness For the place that needs no sun,-- For Thou art its light and gladness,-- For the mansions fair and bright, Where Thy saints are crowned with light. Amen.

Jesus Is My Joy, My All

Author: Johan Olof Wallin; Ahasuerus Fritsch Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus is my Joy, my All, He for me His life hath given; I am His, I hear His call; He hath writ my name in heaven. Earthly treasures pass away; Jesus I will love for aye. 2 Riches, pomp, and earthly joy Cannot tempt my soul from heaven; Gold is mingled with alloy, Bitterness with sweetness given, Riches flee and hopes decay; Jesus' grace abides alway. 3 In my Jesus I am blest, He to pleasant pastures leads me, Stills my soul and gives it rest, And with heavenly manna feeds me. Earthly things must face and fall; Jesus is my Life, my All. 4 Then away, O world! thy joy Leads the soul to grief and sorrow; Death is found in sin's employ Fears to-day, regrets to-morrow. Jesus only satisfies; Jesus points me to the skies! Amen.
