Hymn Context Compare
He laid his earth­ly rich­es
The faith­ful now re­joice.
The eter­nal gifts of Christ the King,
Which still Thy name, though fall­en, bear;
Till He should come again.
When, to their long­ing eyes re­stored,
To pre­pare Thy way of old;
He is ris­en, Mag­da­lene!
Be the same loud an­them ours.
Came like the tem­pest’s sud­den voice,
And on this ho­ly day
Is He sure to bless?
This day the peace that flows from Heav­en
Thy streets of pur­est gold;
Patriot lives of death­less fame.
She saw; she heard; she preached the Word,
The Pen­te­cost­al morn.
Witnesses ab­ove;
And wide His royal boun­ties flow.

The Son of Con­so­lation!
Forevermore de­fend,
And while due hymns of praise we pay,
And sealed Thy truth with mar­tyr’s blood.
His min­is­ters of grace;
He bade them see His hands, His side,
Truths of wis­dom ma­ni­fold;
Soon by you He will be seen.
Night and day, con­tin­ual praise;
Proclaiming loud that God was there.
To wel­come the first of May.
Answer, Yes!
When doors were closed at night.
Upon thy bul­wark traced;
Loyal to the liv­ing Word,
Though wo­man-wis­dom, wo­man-truth,
At the third hour in pray­er,
Precious ones we love;
Sacred be­yond he­ro­ic fame;
