Spread, O spread, almighty word
Author: Jonathan Friedrich Bahnmaier, 1774-1841; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 97 hymnals Scripture: 2 Timothy 4:1-5 Lyrics: 1 Spread, O spread, almighty word,
spread the kingdom of the Lord,
where the breath of God has given
life to people meant for heaven.
2 Tell them how the Father's will
made the world, and keeps it still;
how his only Son he gave
all from sin and death to save.
3 Tell of our Redeemer's love,
who, for ever to remove
all the guilt that on us lies,
gave himself as sacrifice.
4 Tell them of the Spirit given
now to guide us on to heaven,
strong and holy, just and true,
working both to will and do.
5 Up! the ripening fields you see,
mighty will the harvest be;
but the reapers still are few,
great the work they have to do.
6 Lord of harvest, kind and true,
give us strength to work for you,
till the nations everywhere
see your light, and know your care. Topics: Christ's Sacrifice; Gospel Call; Holiness; Holy Spirit; Jesus Christ Kingship; Mission/Sending; People of God; Saints Days and Holy Days St Barmabas; Salvation Used With Tune: GOTT SEI DANK

The King Shall Come

and light triumphant breaks,
when beauty gilds the eastern hills
and life to joy awakes—
not as of old a little child
to bear, and fight, and die,
but crowned with glory like the sun
that lights the morning sky.
2 Oh, brighter than the rising morn
when Christ, victorious, rose
and left the lonesome place of death
despite the rage of foes
shall dawn that glorious, welcome morn
for all who know his grace—
the day when Christ in splendor comes
and we shall see his face.
3 The King shall come when morning dawns
and earth's dark night is past;
that morning cannot rise too soon,
that day that e'er shall last.
Then let the endless bliss begin,
as heav'n with praises rings.
Hail, Christ the Lord! Your people pray:
come quickly, King of kings!
