There is a King of glory

Author: Anon. Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There is a King of glory, Ere long on earth to rise, Sung in prophetic story, Descending from the skies; The Babe of Bethlehem 'tis he; It is the man of Calvary, Not crowned with thorns, and gory, But crowned with glory now! Not crowned with thorns to-day, Not mocked and led away, But crowned with everlasting glory now! 2 He cometh, cometh speedy, To save his suffering saints, Saints groaning, waiting, ready, And endeth their complaints; With joy they meet him in the air, And shout the swelling triumph there; No longer poor and needy, But crowned with glory now! Not one's reviled to-day! None stumble in the way All crowned with everlasting glory now. 3 O tears, and sin, and sighing, Now let your prisoner go, Discharged from pain and dying And from a world of woe; I go to Christ, he comes to me, We meet in bright eternity, On clouds he cometh flying, On clouds of glory now! Victorious in his wars, Full many a palm he bears, And crowns of everlasting glory now! 4 O, what is tribulation, And all the ills I bear, Compared with this salvation, And all the glory there? Behold a city fair and high, Bright capital of earth and sky, The joy of all creation, And filled with glory now! The armies of his grace, Triumphant reach the place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! 5 There every sight that pleases, There every sound that cheers, There sweet, immortal breezes, Inspire the balmy years; There all the just join in a band, From every age, from every land, While o'er them reigns King Jesus, With crowns of glory now! The people of his grace, Have reached the heavenly place: 'Tis glory, everlasting glory, now! Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Used With Tune: KING OF GLORY

Gently, dear Saviour, now we bring

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Gently, dear Saviour, now we bring The loved one death has called his own; With all our griefs to thee we cling, For unto thee our griefs are known. 2 Thy way is best; and though we weep, We would not break this calm repose: Thou givest thy beloved sleep, And thou hast willed these eyes should close. 3 Blest be the grief that closer binds Our mourning hearts, O Lord, to thee! Blest be the faith, in death that finds A hope of immmortality! 4 Thus dust to dust, and earth to earth, And ashes cold we lay away To wait that glad, immortal birth, The promised resurrection day.

O! blest are they that mourn

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O! blest are they that mourn, Their comfort will I be; For sorrows deep I oft have borne, With none to comfort me. 2 I've stood beside the grave, I weep with those that weep For I have felt death's chilling wave, And crossed its waters deep. 3 I have the keys of death, To me they have been given; I'll call again the fleeting breath, When portals dark are riven. 4 How blessed here to mourn, And there be comforted When Christ shall call again his own, And bring them from the dead!

Author: Annie R. Smith Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 She hath passed death's chilling billow, And gone to rest; Jesus smoothed her dying pillow, O slumber blest! 2 From the bitter cup that's given, We should not shrink; Since the mandate is from heaven, That bids us drink. 3 Sleep, dear sister, kind and tender, To friendship true, While with feeling hearts we render This tribute due. 4 When the morn of glory, breaking, Shall light the tomb, Beautiful will be thy waking In fadeless bloom; 5 Where no wintry winds are blowing, No burial train; Crowned with gems celestial, glowing, We'll meet again.

When softly falls the twilight hour

Author: F. E. Belden Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When softly falls the twilight hour O'er moor and mountain, field and flower, How sweet to leave a world of care, And lift to heav'n the voice of prayer! 2 In solemn midnight's silence deep, When Nature's voice is hushed in sleep, Then heavy hearts with grief oppressed May find in prayer the sweetest rest. 3 And when with reddening blush of morn The new-born day begins to dawn, Then upward to the mercy-seat Let prayer ascend like incense sweet. 4 When mid-day's burning heat we feel, When daily cares our hearts would steal, O, then to heaven we look away, And find in prayer our surest stay.

Ah! why should doubts and fears arise

Author: Anon. Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Ah! why should doubts and fears arise, And sorrow fill my weeping eyes? Too slow, alas! the mind receives The comforts that the gospel gives. 2 O, for a strong, a lasting faith, To rest on what the Almighty saith! To heed the message of his Son, And calls the joys of heaven my own. 3 Then, should the earth's old pillars shake, And all the wheels of nature break, My steadfast soul would fear no more Than solid rocks when billows roar.
