The angel comes, he comes to reap

Author: Anon. Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The angel comes, he comes to reap The harvest of the Lord; O'er all the earth, with fatal sweep, Wide waves his flaming sword. 2 And who are they in sheaves to bide The fire of vengeance, bound? The tares, whose rank, luxuriant pride Choked the fair crop around. 3 And who are they reserved in store, God's treasure-home to fill? The wheat, a hundredfold that bore, Amid surrounding ill. 4 O King of mercy! grant us power Thy fiery wrath to flee; In thy destroying angel's hour O, gather us to thee!

The church has waited long

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Church has waited long Her absent Lord to see; And still in loneliness she waits, A friendless stranger she. 2 How long, O Lord our God, Holy and true and good, Wilt thou not judge thy suffering Church, Her sighs and tears and blood? 3 Saint after saint on earth, Has lived and loved and died; And as they left us, one by one, We laid them side by side. 4 We laid them down to sleep, But not in hope forlorn; We left them but to slumber there, Till the last glorious morn. 5 We long to hear thy voice, To see thee face to face, To share thy crown and glory then, As now we share thy grace. 6 Come, Lord, and wipe away The curse, the sin, the stain, And make this blighted world of ours Thine own fair world again.

The God of love will sure indulge

Author: Anon. Appears in 100 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The God of love will sure indulge The flowing tear, the heaving sigh, When death inflicts his fatal wound, When tender friends and kindred die. 2 Yet not one anxious, murmuring thought Should with our morning passions blend, Nor would our bleeding hearts forget The almighty, ever-living Friend. 3 Beneath a numerous train of ills Our feeble flesh and heart may fail; Yet shall our hope in thee, our God, O'er every gloomy fear prevail. 4 Our Father, God! to thee we look, Our Rock, our Portion, and our Friend; And on thy covenant love and truth, Our sinking souls shall still depend.

The head that once was crowned with thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly Appears in 523 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords, Is his by sovereign right; The King of kings, and Lord of lords, He reigns in glory bright; 3 The joy of all who dwell above, The joy of all below, To whom he manifests his love, And grants his name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heaven. 5 To them the cross is life and health, Though shame and death to him; His people's hope, his people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.

The light of Sabbath eve

Author: Anon.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 795 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue, ethereal sky, Th' unwearied sun, from day to day Does his Creator's power display, And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim: 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail, The moon takes up the wondrous tale; And nightly, to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; While all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence, all Move round the dark terrestrial ball? What though nor real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found? In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, "The hand that made us is divine."

There is a fountain filled with blood

Author: William Cowper Appears in 2,540 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains, Lose all their guilty stains. And sinners plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, though vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Thou dying Lamb! thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed Church of God Are saved, to sin no more. 4 E'er since by faith I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Lord, I believe thou hast prepared, Unworthy though I be, For me a blood-bought, free reward, A golden harp for me! 6 There in a nobler, sweeter song, I'll sing thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Is ransomed from the grave.
