O Lord, How Shall I Meet You
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet you,
how welcome you aright?
Your people long to greet you,
my hope, my heart's delight!
O kindle, Lord Most Holy,
your lamp within my breast
to do in spirit lowly
all that may please you best.
2 Love caused your incarnation,
love brought you down to me;
your thirst for my salvation
procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
that led you to embrace,
in love all love excelling,
our lost and fallen race!
3 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted,
who sit in deepest gloom,
who mourn o'er joys departed
and tremble at your doom.
Despair not, he is near you,
yea, standing at the door,
who best can help and cheer you
and bids you weep no more.
4 Sin's debt, that fearful burden,
let not your souls distress;
your guilt the Lord will pardon
and cover by his grace.
He comes, for men procuring
the peace of sin forgiv'n,
for all God's sons securing
their heritage in heav'n.
5 You come, O Lord, with gladness,
in mercy and goodwill,
to bring an end to sadness
and bid our fears be still.
In patient expectation
we live for that great day
when a renewed creation
your glory shall display. Topics: Christ; Christ Love and Grace of; Christ As Mediator and Redeemer; Christ Passion and Atoning Death of; Christ Second Coming and the Last Judgment of; Incarnation Used With Tune: WIE SOLL ICH DICH EMPFANGEN Text Sources: Trans. composite; mod.

God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens
Lo! he comes, with clouds descending
Author: Oliver Appears in 45 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:31-46 Lyrics: 1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending,
Once for favored sinners slain;
Thousand thousand saints, attending,
Swell the triumph of his train:
Hallelujah!
Jesus shall for ever reign.
2 Every eye shall now behold him
Robed in dreadful majesty:
Those who set at naught and sold him,
Pierced, and nailed him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the true Messiah see.
3 When the solemn trump has sounded,
Heaven and earth shall flee away;
All who hate him must, confounded,
Hear the summons of that day--
Come to judgment!
Come to judgment--come away!
4 Now the Saviour, long expected,
See, in solemn pomp, appear;
All his saints, by man rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air:
Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear. Topics: Resurrection and Judgment; Christ Coming to Judgment
Lo! he comes, with clouds descending
The Lord Our God Alone Is Strong
Author: Caleb T. Winchester Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 44 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Lyrics: 1 The Lord our God alone is strong;
His hands build not for one brief day;
His wondrous works, thro' ages long,
His wisdom and His power display.
2 His mountains lift their solemn forms
To watch in silence o’er the land;
The rolling ocean, rocked with storms,
Sleeps in the hollow of His hand.
3 Thou sovereign God, receive this gift
Thy willing servants offer Thee;
Accept the prayers that thousands lift,
And let these halls Thy temple be.
4 And let those learn who here shall meet,
True wisdom is with reverence crowned,
And science walks with humble feet
To seek the God that faith hath found.
Amen. Used With Tune: MELCOMBE

We Thank Thee, Lord
Author: Calvin W. Laufer Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 31 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:40 First Line: We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead Lyrics: 1 We thank Thee, Lord, Thy paths of service lead
To blazoned heights and down the slopes of need;
They reach Thy throne, encompass land and sea,
And he who journeys in them walks with Thee.
2 We've sought and found Thee in the secret place
And marveled at the radiance of Thy face;
But often in some far-off Galilee
Beheld Thee fairer yet while serving Thee.
3 We've felt Thy touch in sorrow's darkened way
Abound with love and solace for the day;
And, 'neath the burdens there, Thy sovereignty
Has held our hearts enthralled while serving Thee.
4 We've seen Thy glory like a mantle spread
O'er hill and dale in saffron flame and red;
But in the eyes of men, redeemed and free,
A splendor greater yet while serving Thee.
Amen. Topics: Christ Beauty; Christ Presence; Christ Sympathy; Discipleship; Life in Christ Discipleship and Service Used With Tune: FIELD

of orchard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today first fruits would bring:
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind, and heart, and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
to labour, love, and give;
to make our life an offering
that others too may live.
The church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed, your kingdom come,
all life in Christ made new.
3 In gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best today,
to serve your cause and share your love
with all humanity.
O God, who gave yourself to us
in Jesus Christ your Son,
help us to give ourselves each day
until life's work is done. Topics: Discipleship; Justice; Harvest Thanksgiving Used With Tune: TYROL
