On The Banks Where Jordan Rolled

Author: John H. Anketell Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 On the banks where Jordan rolled, Preaching penitence and fear, Stood the prophet, long foretold, Crying, Haste, the Lord is near! 2 Let the ministers of grace So prepare, O Lord, Thy way, That with joy we meet Thy face On the awful judgment day. 3 In the night their cry is heard, Lo! the Bridegroom soon shall come! Let the bride at that glad word Hasten to her heart’s true home. 4 Year by year that Advent cry Rings upon the startled air; Hasten, for the Lord is nigh; Let your lamps be trimmed with care. 5 Let each eager, listening ear Catch with joy that welcome sound: Hasten, for the Lord is near; Enter, where true joys are found. 6 Grant us, Lord, the perfect peace Of a mind well stayed on Thee; Rest, where earthly labors cease; Light, where darkness cannot be!

Sinners, For Transgression, See

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sinners, for transgression, see Sharp disease their youth consume, And their beauty, like a tree, Withering on an early tomb. 2 Food is loathsome to their taste, And the eye revolts from light; All their joys to ruin haste, As the sunset into night. 3 Then unto the Lord they cry; He inclines a gracious ear, Sends deliverance from on high, Rescues them from all their fear. 4 He with health renews their frame, Lengthens out their numbered days, Let them glorify His name With the sacrifice of praise. 5 O that men would praise the Lord, For His goodness to their race, For the wonders of His Word, And the riches of His grace!

From the Father's Throne on High

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From the Father's throne on high Christ returns to rule and reign. Child of earth, he came to die; Judge of all he comes again. 2 Darkened be the day at noon When the stars of heaven fall: Earth and sky and sun and moon. Cloudy darkness covers all. 3 Ancient pow'rs of sin and death Shake to hear the trumpet blown; From the winds' remotest breath God will gather in his own. 4 So behold the promised sign, Sky and sea by tumult riv'n, And the King of kings divine Coming in the clouds of heav'n. 5 Come then, Lord, in light and pow'r, At whose word the worlds began. In the unexpected hour Come in glory, Son of Man! Topics: Second Coming; Advent I C; Ordinary Time, Thirty-Third Sunday B; Ordinary Time, Thirty-Third Sunday C Used With Tune: HEINLEIN
