He Is Coming, He Is Coming

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 42 hymnals Lyrics: 1. He is coming, He is coming, Not as once He came before, Wailing Infant born in weakness On a lowly stable floor; But upon His cloud of glory, In the crimson tinted sky, Where we see the golden sunrise, In the rosy distance lie. 2. He is coming, He is coming, Not in pain, and shame, and woe, With the thorn crown on His forehead, And the blood drops trickling slow; But with diadem upon Him, And the scepter in His hand, And the dead all ranged before Him, Raised from death, hell, sea and land. 3. He is coming, He is coming, Not as once He wandered through All the hostile land of Judah, With His followers poor and few; But with all the holy angels Waiting round His judgment seat, And the chosen twelve Apostles, Sitting crownèd at His feet. 4. He is coming, He is coming, Let His lowly first estate, And His tender love, so teach us That in faith and hope we wait, Till in glory eastward burning, Our redemption draweth near, And we see the sign in heaven Of our Judge and Savior dear.

Heav'nly Father, Thou Hast Brought Us

Author: Hester P. Hawkins Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Heav’nly Father, Thou hast brought us Safely to the present day, Gently leading on our footsteps, Watching o’er us all the way. Friend and guide through life’s long journey, Grateful hearts to Thee we bring; But for love so true and changeless How shall we fit praises sing? 2. Mercies new and never failing Brightly shine through all the past, Watchful care and loving-kindness Always near from first to last, Tender love, divine protection Ever with us day and night; Blessings more than we can number Strow the path with golden light. 3. Shadows deep have crossed our pathway; We have trembled in the storm; Clouds have gathered round so darkly That we could not see Thy form; Yet Thy love hath never left us In our griefs alone to be, And the help each gave the other Was the strength that came from Thee. 4. Many that we loved have left us, Reaching first their journey’s end; Now they wait to give us welcome, Brother, sister, child and friend. When at last our journey’s over, And we pass away from sight, Father, take us through the darkness Into everlasting light. Used With Tune: LUX EOI

When Upon The Raging Waters

Author: P. E. Kretzmann Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When upon the raging waters, In the dark and stormy night, The disciples hard were toiling, Weary with the losing fight; When their hearts were filled with terror, And their fears would not be laid, Then the voice of Jesus cheered them: It is I, be not afraid! 2 When the storms of life assail us, Billows rise on ev'ry hand, When the wind's discordant shrieking Echoes far o'er sea and land; When the enemies have gathered And their worst attacks have made; Then our Savior's voice sustains us: It is I, be not afraid! 3 When we seem to walk in darkness, Threatened by the pow'rs of hell, When we think no ray of mercy Can the heavy gloom dispel; When the fearful hand of sorrow Like a pall on us is laid, Jesus' voice sounds thro' the darkness: It is I, be not afraid! 4 Ah, what we regard as danger Often is but fancy wrought, And our foolish dread of darkness Specters sees where there is naught; We forget our Savior's promise, Which so solemnly He made, When He bids us cease our worry: It is I, be not afraid! 5 When at last our pathway brings us To the vale that leads to death, When the darkness soon enfolds us And we feebly gasp for breath, Yet our hearts their trust will strengthen, As we enter in death's shade, For our Savior's voice will cheer us: It is I, be not afraid! Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Redeemer Used With Tune: LUX EOI

Saviour, sprinkle many nations

Author: Bishop Coxe Meter: 8.7 D Appears in 163 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, sprinkle many nations; Fruitful let Thy sorrows be; By Thy pains and consolations Draw the Gentiles unto Thee! 2 Of Thy cross the wondrous story, Be it to the nations told; Let them see Thee in Thy glory And Thy mercy manifold. 3 Far and wide, though all unknowing, Pants for Thee each mortal breast, Human tears for Thee are flowing, Human hearts in Thee would rest. 4 Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek as God of heaven, Thee as Man for sinners slain. 5 Saviour, lo! the isles are waiting! Stretched the hand and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light. 6 Give the word, and of the preacher Speed the foot and touch the tongue, Till on earth by every creature Glory to the Lamb be sung! Amen. Used With Tune: [Saviour, sprinkle many nations]
