Spirit of truth and love

Author: John Marriott Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Spirit of truth and love, Life-giving holy Dove! Speed forth thy flight; Move o'er the waters' face, Bearing the lamp of grace, And in earth's darkest place Let there be light! 2 Thou, whose almighty word Chaos and darkness heard, And took their flight, Hear us, we humbly pray; And where the gospel's day Sheds not its glorious ray, Let there be light! 3 Thou, who didst come to bring, On thy redeeming wing, Healing and sight, Health to the sick and blind, Sight to the darkened mind, O now, to all mankind, Let there be light!

Then let the hurricane roar

Appears in 43 hymnals First Line: We are joyously voyaging over the main Lyrics: 1 We are joyously voyaging over the main, Bound for the evergreen shore, Whose inhabitants never of sickness complain, And never see death any more. Chorus: Then let the hurricane roar, It will the sooner be o'er, We will weather the blast, and we'll land at last, Safe on the evergreen shore. 2 We have nothing to fear grom the wind and the wave, Under our Saviour's command; And our hearts in the midst of the dangers are brave; For Jesus will bring us to land. [Chorus] 3 Both the winds and the waves our Commander controls; Nothing can baffle his skill; And his voice when the thundering hurricane rolls, Can make the loud tempest be still. [Chorus] 4 In the thick, murky night, when the stars and the moon Send not a glimmering ray, Then the light of His countenance, brighter than noon, Will drive all our terror away. [Chorus] 5 Let the high-heaving billows and mountainous wave, Fearfully overhead break, There is One by our side that can comfort and save, There is One who will never forsake. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Reward of Saints Scripture: Philippians 3:13 Used With Tune: THE EVERGREEN SHORE

O God, how great thy glory is!

Author: Ernest Lange Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O God, how great thy glory is! Thy wondrous ways, O who can know? O hight immense! what words suffice Thy countless attributes to show? 2 Greatness unspeakable is thine, Greatness whose undimished ray, When short-lived worlds are lost, shall shine, When earth and heaven are fled away. 3 Unchangeable, all-perfect Lord, Essential life's unbounded sea, What lives and moves, lives by thy word; It lives, and moves, and is, from thee. 4 High is thy power above all hight; Whate'er thy will decrees, is done; Thy wisdom, equal to thy might, Only to thee, O God, is known!

He's coming once again

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He's coming once again, To set his people free; That where he is, in glory bright, His saints may also be. Then lift the drooping head, Look up, rejoice and sing; He comes, in majesty sublime, Salvation's glorious King! 2 The earth shall quake with fear, The heavens shall flee away; And where shall guilty man appear In that tremendous day? No refuge then is nigh, No shelter from the blast; The night of vengeance vails the sky When mercy's day is past. 3 His eyes of living flame, The wicked shall devour; No tongue will lightly speak the name Of Jesus in that hour. No scorn, no words of hate For his meek followers then; But prayers and tears that come too late Will mark earth's mighty men. Topics: Second Advent Executive Judgment Used With Tune: VERDI

The Saviour is coming, O children of light!

Author: W. H. Littlejohn Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Saviour is coming, O children of light! With hosts of the angels, the angels of might, Adown the bright azure, with banners of flame, He'll come soon in triumph his loved ones to claim. 2 The trumpet long sounding, with notes loud and shrill, The dead will awaken in valley and hill. The touch of the Master we all soon shall feel; He'll make us immortal, while glad anthems peal. 3 Away toward the city, the city of gold, We'll mount with the Master, in numbers untold. He'll deck every forehead with coronet bright, He'll robe each believer in garments of white. 4 Through heaven's high portals we'll enter at last, With shouts of rejoicing, our sorrows all past. Along the bright river, the river of life, We'll wander together, our souls free from strife. 5 With harps and with voices we'll join in the song Of Moses, the faithful, and Jesus, the strong, Then shout, O ye children, ye children of light, The Saviour is coming: he's almost in sight!

When the King of kings comes

Author: Anon. Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the King of kings comes, When the Lord of lords comes, We shall have a joyful day, We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes! Great Babylon is broken down, And kingdoms once of great renown, And saints now suff'ring wear the crown, When the King of kings comes. 2 When the trump of God calls, When the last of foes falls, We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; O, then the saints, raised from the dead, Are with the living gathered, And all made like their glorious Head, When the King of kings comes. 3 When the foe's distress comes, Then the church's "rest" comes; We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes. And then the new Jerusalem, Surpassing all reports of fame, Shines, worthy of its Maker's name, When the King of kings comes. 4 When the world its course has run, When the Judgment is begun; We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see the sons of God well known, All spotless to their Father shown, And Jesus all his brethren own, When the King of kings comes. 5 When the conqueror's hour comes, When he with great power comes, We shall have a joyful day, When the King of kings comes; To see all things by him restored, And God himself alone adored By all the saints, with one accord, When the King of kings comes.
