Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing #141

Welcome to the 141st Old Fashioned Sunday Hymn Sing!

I miss the old hymns that I remember from my childhood - there were no drums, no electric guitar and no mind numbing beat. It was just voices and maybe a piano or an organ. The choir led the congregation in singing - and the words of these hymns are poetic. I realize that there is a need for the modern "seeker oriented" worship music - but it is also necessary to have deeper songs (no offense intended to anyone who prefers the newer church songs).

I decided to have an "Old Fashion Sunday Hymn Sing" once a month on this blog.

I personally do NOT have a great singing voice - I used to play the guitar & piano but my voice is NOT an instrument. That's the great thing about this digital hymn sing, you can warble along without being embarrassed or without offending anyone else.

The hymns that we will be studying are taken from an old hymnal from a Baptist church that is no longer in existence - "The North American Hymnal" published in 1956 by "THE ROGER WILLIAMS PRESS"

I will also try to find a version of the featured hymn on "YouTube" to share with you each month.

Today's featured hymn is "O Master of the Waking World" and the author is Frank Mason North.  The name "Frank North" might actually be this author's Pen Name.  There are some references to "John Post Attwater" as being the real name.  He was the editor of "The Christian City", a publication for the Methodist Episcopal Church.  He was also on the board of Foreign Missions for his church. 

Since the title of this hymn has to do with the "waking world" I decided to share links to all posts  (so far) in the "Secrecy Series":

SECRECY Posts:

#1 - No Secrecy With Truth & Light

#2 - Privacy vs Secrecy

#3 - Oath, Vow, Promise, Pledge, Swear

#4 - Secrecy Act, N.D.A., Secrecy Agreements

#5 - Secret Societies (Part1)

#5 - (Part2) Secret Societies (Comment Response)

#6 - Hand Symbolism (666, One Eye & Hush)

#7 - Hidden History (Giants/Nephilim)

#8 - Secret Society Whistleblower#1

I have included a beautiful version of this hymn  (video is located below the lyrics).

Enjoy!

Turn with me to number 498 in your hymnals and let's sing:

O Master of the Waking World

written by Frank Mason North (1850-1935) & composed by Dimitri Bortiniansky (1752-1825)

1. O Master of the waking world, Who hast the nations in Thy heart The heart that bled and broke to send God's love to earth's remotest part - Show us anew in Calvary The wondrous power that makes men free.

2.  We hear the throb of surging life, The clank of chains, the curse of greed.  The moan of pain, the futile cries Of superstition's cruel creed.  The peoples hunger for Thee, Lord, The isles are waiting for Thy Word.

3.   Thy witness in the souls of men, The Spirit's ceaseless, brooding power, In-lands where shadows hide the light, Await a new creative hour, O mighty God, set us aflame To show the glories of Thy name.

4.   O Church of God!  Awake!  Awake!  The waking world is calling thee, Lift up thine eyes!  Hear thou once more The challenge of humanity!  O Christ, we come!  Our all we bring To serve our world and Thee, our King.

A special thanks to "Adam Phillips" for sharing this with us!
