The Sands of Time Are Sinking

Author: Anne R. Cousin Hymnal: Hymns of Faith #512 (1980) Scripture: Romans 13:12 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morn I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn awakes: Dark, dark hath been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 2 O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 3 O, I am my Beloved's, And my Beloved's mine! He brings a poor vile sinner Into His "house of wine." I stand upon His merit, I know no other stand, No e'en where glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 4 The Bride eyes not her garment, But her dear Bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory But on my King of grace. Not at the crown He giveth But on His piercèd hand, The Lamb is all the glory Of Emmanuel's land. Amen. Topics: Adoration; Adoration Languages: English Tune Title: [The sands of time are sinking]

Loving Father, Christ our Brother, Let Your light upon us shine; Teach us how to love each other, Lift us to the joy divine. 4 Mortals join the mighty chorus, Which the morning stars began; God's own love is reigning o’er us, Joining people hand in hand. Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife; Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life.
