'Thy kingdom come!'– on bended knee

Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer (1840-1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 103 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:8-10 Lyrics: 1 'Thy kingdom come!'--on bended knee the passing ages pray; and faithful souls have yearned to see on earth that kingdom's day. 2 But the slow watches of the night not less to God belong; and for the everlasting right the silent stars are strong. 3 And lo, already on the hills the flags of dawn appear; gird up your loins, ye prophet souls, proclaim the day is near: 4 The day in whose clear-shining light all wrong shall stand revealed, when justice shall be throned with might, and every heart be healed: 5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace, shall walk the earth abroad, the day of perfect righteousness, the promised day of God.

In the bleak midwinter

Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 90 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:10 Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter frosty wind made moan, earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone: snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow, in the bleak midwinter, long ago. 2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; heaven and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign: in the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ. 3 Enough for him whom cherubim worship night and day, a breastful of milk and a mangerful of hay: enough for him whom angels fall down before, the ox and ass and camel which adore. 4 Angels and archangels may have gathered there, cherubim and seraphim thronged the air, but only his mother, in her maiden bliss, worshiped the Beloved with a kiss. 5 What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb, if I were a wise man I would do my part, yet what I can I give him, give my heart.

Without Spot and Blameless

Author: William G. Schell Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:14 First Line: I'll rise at early morning hour Lyrics: 1 I’ll rise at early morning hour, With first effulgent rays, While nature’s songsters in the bow’r, Send up their Maker’s praise; I’ll bow before my God so dear, And tarry till my heart shall hear The Spirit’s witness sweet and clear: “Without spot and blameless.” 2 While proud in heart, at bright midday, Can find no time for prayer, My thoughts shall soar from earth away, To heaven, bright and fair: Around the fam’ly altar knelt, My heart with gratitude will melt, Till blest assurance shall be felt, “Without spot and blameless.” 3 And when the pleasant evening air Is dusky with the night, My soul shall turn to God in prayer, In heaven’s golden light; I’ll linger at the great white throne, Until the thoughts of God are known, And He shall claim me for His own, “Without spot and blameless.” 4 With God’s approval on my soul My body sinks to rest, No doubts nor waves of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast; And through the night that hand so mild Protects from storms and billows wild His helpless, trusting, loving child, “Without spot and blameless.” Used With Tune: [I'll rise at early morning hour] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Without_Spot_and_Blameless); Faith Publishing House, Evening Light Songs, 1949, edited 1987 (193); The Gospel Trumpet Company, Select Hymns, 1911 (383)

I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see. 2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved; how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. 3 Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come: 'tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home. 4 The Lord has promised good to me; this word my hope secures; God will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures. 5 What thanks I owe you, and what love– a boundless, endless store– shall echo through the realms above when time shall be no more. 6 When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we'd first begun. --- FRENCH - 1 Grâce infinie de notre Dieu qui un jour m’a sauvé. J’étais perdu, errant de lieu en lieux quand il m’a retrouvé. 2 Ma vie fut complètement changée du moment où j'ai cru. Depuis ce jour de tous les dangers, sa grâce m’a secouru. 3 Dans mes épreuves et mes labeurs suffisante est sa grâce. Je peux toujours compter sa faveur à chaque heure qui passe. 4 Quand nous aurons pendant mille ans célébré ses louanges, nous pourrons comme au commencement, lui offrir nos hommages. --- CHINESE - 1 Qí yì ēn diǎn!
