The following hymn has an unknown author and is recorded in, “The Open Air Preacher’s Handbook,” by Gawain Kirkham
.
On Sinai’s Mount the Lord came down,
The Law was written there;
He spread His terrors all around,
Out in the Open air.
.
As Moses raised the serpent up,
The smitten Jews to spare,
So Christ, the sinner’s only hope,
Preached in the Open air.
.
The Baptist John, foretold of old,
Announced that Christ was there;
Declared to crowds, with vigour bold
Out in the Open air.
.
When first the Infant Jesus came
To Tabernacle here,
Bright angels sang His glorious fame
Out in the Open air.
.
Upon the Mount meek Jesus sat,
And taught the people there;
And in His name we now are met
Out in the Open air.
.
The Widows’s Son, at Nain’s gate,
Christ raised to life so dear;
And Lazarus rose at His mandate,
Out in the Open air.
.
We reverence our exalted Head,
Who makes mankind His care:
Behold what multitudes He fed
Out in the Open air!
.
Am I ashamed to own that Name,
Who did my nature bear?
For us He shed great drops of blood,
Out in the Open air.
.
Now, Sinners, look to God’s dear Son,
Seek Him by faith and prayer;
Oh, come to Him, He’ll cast out none
Though in the Open air.
.
Upon the cross our Jesus died-
Most solemn truth to hear;
For sinners He was crucified
Out in the Open air.
.
To Olivet He led them forth,
And bless’d His followers there;
The Heavens received Him out of sight
Out in the Open air.
.
The Judgment Day will surely come,
When we must all appear,
To hear our everlasting doom,
Out in the open air.
