What sound is this salutes my ear?
Author: Anon. Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 What sound is this salutes my ear?
'Tis Michael's trump methinks I hear,
'Tis Michael's trump methinks I hear;
Th' expected day has come.
Behold, the heavens, the earth, the sea.
Proclaim the year of Jubilee;
Proclaim the year of Jubilee;
Return, ye exiles, home.
2 Behold, the fair Jerusalem,
Illuminated by the Lamb,
In glory doth appear.
Fair Zion rising from the tombs
To meet the Bridegroom: lo! he comes,
And hails the festive year.
3 My soul is striving to be thee;
I long to rise and wing the air,
And trace the sacred road.
Adieu, adieu, all earthly things;
O that I had an angel's wings!
I'd quickly see my God.
4 Fly, lingering moments, fly, O fly!
I thirst, I pant, I long to try
Angelic joys to prove!
Soon I'll receive from Christ my Lord
Eternal life, the great reward,
And shout redeeming love. Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Used With Tune: WHAT SOUND IS THIS?

Come on, my partners in distress
Author: Anon. Appears in 239 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come on, my partners in distress,
My comrades in the wilderness,
Who still your burdens feel;
Awhile forget your griefs and fears,
And look beyond the vale of tears
To yon celestial hill.
2 Look far beyond this narrow space,
Look forward to that heavenly place.
The saints' secure abode.
On faith's strong eagle pinions rise,
And wing your passage to the skies,
Strong in the strength of God.
3 Who suffer with their Master here,
Shall soon before his face appear,
And by his side sit down:
To patient faith the prize is sure,
And all that to the end endure
The cross, shall wear the crown.
4 Thrice blessed, bliss-inspiring hope!
It lifts the fainting spirit up!
It brings to life the dead:
Our conflicts here shall soon be past,
And you and I ascend at last,
Triumphant with our Head. Topics: Miscellaneous Old Melodies Used With Tune: WHAT SOUND IS THIS?
