Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #308 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass, Ye bars of iron, yield, And let the King of Glory pass, The Cross is in the field; That banner, brighter than the star That leads the train of night, Shines on their march, and guides from far His servants to the fight. 2 A holy war those servants wage: In that mysterious strife, The powers of heaven and hell engage For more than death or life. Ye armies of the living God, Ye warrior of Christ's host, Where hallowed footsteps never trod Take your appointed post. 3 Though few and small and weak your hands, Strong in your Captain’s strength, Go, to the conquest of all lands; All must be his at length. Uplifted are the gates of brass, Behold the King of Glory pass: The Cross hath won the field. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

From Greenland's icy mountains

Author: Reginald Heber, 1783 - 1826 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #310 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work The Propagation of the Gospel Lyrics: 1 From Greenland's icy mountains, From India's coral strand, Where Afric's sunny fountains Roll down their golden sand, From many an ancient river, From many a palmy plain, They call us to deliver Their land from error's chain. 2 Can we whose souls are lighted With wisdom from on high, Can we to men benighted The lamp of life deny? Salvation, O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim, Till each remotest nation Has learned Messiah's Name. 3 Waft, waft, ye winds, his story, And you, ye waters, roll, Till, like a sea of glory, It spreads from pole to pole; Till o'er our ransomed nature The Lamb for sinners slain, Redeemer, King, Creator, In bliss returns to reign.

Author: Clifford Bax, b. 1886 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #348 (1958) Topics: Church Life and Work City, Nation, World Lyrics: 1 Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways. Old now is earth, and none may count her days, Yet thou, her child, whose head is crowned with flame, Still wilt not hear thine inner God proclaim, 'Turn back, O man, forswear thy foolish ways.' 2 Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise. Age after age their tragic empires rise, Built while they dream, and in that dreaming weep: Would man but wake from out his haunted sleep, Earth might be fair, and all men glad and wise. 3 Earth shall be fair, and all her people one; Nor till that hour shall God's whole will be done. Now, even now, once more from earth to sky, Peals forth in joy man's old, undaunted cry, 'Earth shall be fair, and all her folk be one!' Languages: English Tune Title: OLD 124th
