Gibeon
When Joshua, by God's command,
Invaded Canaan's guilty land;
Gibeon, unlike the nations round,
Submission made and mercy found
When Joshua, by God's command,
Invaded Canaan's guilty land;
Gibeon, unlike the nations round,
Submission made and mercy found
Now let us join with hearts and tongues,
And emulate the angels' songs;
Yea, sinners may address their King In songs that angels cannot sing
They praise the Lamb who once was slain;
Elijah's example declares,
Whatever distress may betide;
The saints may commit all their
To him who will surely provide:
A Word from Jesus calms the sea,
The stormy wind controls;
And gives repose and
To tempest-tossed souls
See
the corn again in ear
How the fields and valleys smile
Harvest now is drawing
I ask'd the Lord, that I might grow In faith, and love, and ev'ry grace,
Might more of his salvation know,
And seek more earnestly his face
'Twas he who taught me thus to pray,
What a mournful life is mine,
Fill with crosses, pains and cares
Every work defiled with sin,
Every step beset with snares
How lost was my
Till Jesus made me whole
There is but one
Can cure a sin-sick
Physician of my sin-sick soul,
To thee I bring my case;
My raging malady control,
And heal me by thy grace
The Lord, our salvation and light,
The guide of our strength and our days,
Has brought us together to-night,
A new Ebenezer to raise:
Father, forgive (the Saviour said)They know not what they do:
His heart was moved when thus he
For me, my friends, and you
He saw, that as the Jews
In evil long I took delight,
Unawed by shame or fear,
Till a new object struck my sight,
And stopped my wild career
