The advent of our King
Author: Charles Coffin, 1676-1749; John Chandler, 1818-1876 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:11 Lyrics: 1 The advent of our King
our prayers must now employ,
and we must hymns of welcome sing
in strains of holy joy.
2 The everlasting Son
incarnate deigns to be;
himself a servant's form puts on,
to set his servants free.
3 Daughter of Sion, rise
to meet thy lowly King;
nor let thy faithless heart despise
the peace he comes to bring.
4 As Judge, on clouds of light,
he soon will come again,
and his true members all unite
with him in heav'n to reign.
5 All glory to the Son
who comes to set us free,
with Father, Spirit, ever One,
through all eternity. Topics: Advent Used With Tune: FRANCONIA

Author: Mable J. Camp Appears in 43 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:11 First Line: Lift up your heads, pilgrims aweary Refrain First Line: He is coming again, He is coming again Lyrics: 1 Lift up your heads, pilgrims a-weary,
See day’s approach now crimson the sky;
Night shadows flee, and your Beloved,
Awaited with longing, at last draweth nigh.

He is coming again, He is coming again,
The very same Jesus, rejected of men;
He is coming again, He is coming again,
With pow'r and great glory, He is coming again!

Heavy the load of sorrow we bore;
But now we see signs of His coming;
Our hearts glow within us, joy’s cup runneth o’er! (Chorus)
3 O blessed hope! O blissful promise!
Filling our hearts with rapture divine;
O day of days! hail Thy appearing!
Thy transcendent glory forever shall shine! (Chorus)
4 Even so come, precious Lord Jesus;
Creation waits redemption to see;
Caught up in clouds, soon we shall meet Thee;
O blessed assurance, forever with Thee! (Chorus)

He Is Coming Again
The Judgment
Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:11 First Line: He is coming, he is coming 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 sceptre 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 crowned 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 Saviour dear.

Our Lord, his Passion ended
Author: F. C. Burkitt, 1865-1935 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:9 Lyrics: 1 Our Lord, his Passion ended
hath gloriously ascended,
yet though from him divided,
he leaves us not unguided;
all his benefits to crown
he hath sent his Spirit down,
burning like a flame of fire
his disciples to inspire.
2 God's Spirit is directing;
no more they sit expecting;
but forth to all the nation
they go with exultation;
that which God in them hath wrought
fills their life and soul and thought;
so their witness now can do
work as great in others too.
3 The centuries go gliding,
but still we have abiding
with us that Spirit holy
to make us brave and lowly,
lowly, for we feel our need:
God alone is strong indeed;
brave, for with the Spirit's aid
we can venture unafraid.
4 O Lord of every nation,
fill us with inspiration;
we know our own unfitness;
yet for thee would bear witness.
By the Spirit now we raise
to the heavenly Father praise:
Holy Spirit, Father, Son,
make us know thee, ever One. Topics: Pentecost; Pentecost Year A; Pentecost Year C; Proper 23 Year B Used With Tune: NAPHILL
