Author: Samuel M. Miller Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When Jesus comes in glory, As Lord and King of kings, O what a wondrous story The blessèd Bible brings; His face will shine like sunlight, His head be white as snow, His eyes like flaming firelight, His feet like brass aglow. 2. His voice like rushing waters Will reach with mighty sound Into the deepest quarters Of all creation round; And at this wondrous greeting The dead in Christ shall rise, Their Lord and Savior meeting, In glory to the skies. 3. And we who are believing, And His appearing love, Shall know we are receiving His glory from above; His resurrection power Will raise us to the place Where we that wondrous hour Shall see Him face to face. 4. O hasten Thine appearing, Thou bright and morning star! Lord, may we soon be hearing The trumpet sound afar; Thy people are all yearning To be Thy raptured bride, And at Thine own returning Be caught up at Thy side. Used With Tune: CHENIES

The Lamb's Bridal

Author: Gerard Moultrie Appears in 16 hymnals First Line: The marriage feast is ready Lyrics: 1 The marriage feast is ready, The marriage of the Lamb, He calls the faithful children Of faithful Abraham: Now from the golden portals The sounds of triumph ring; The triumph of the Victor, The marriage of the King. 2 Nor sigh nor sorrow enter Where Jesus leads them in; Nor death may cross the threshold, Nor pain, nor fear, nor sin: Now shades of night and darkness Are past and fled away, Before the radiant brightness Of everlasting day. 3 No tear-drops stain that threshold, No weeping eyes are there; For God hath wiped all tear-drops, And God hath stilled all care: The sunlight of the Presence, The bright Shechinah-flame, Lights up the bridal banquet Of God and of the Lamb.

O Star of Truth, Down-Shining

Author: Minot J. Savage, 1841-1918 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O Star of truth, down-shining, Thro’ clouds of doubt and fear, I ask but ’neath Thy guidance My pathway may appear. However long the journey, How hard soe’er it be, Though I be lone and weary, Lead on, I’ll follow Thee. 2. I know Thy blessèd radiance Can never lead astray, However ancient custom May tread some other way. E’en if through untrod deserts, Or over trackless sea, Though I be lone and weary, Lead on, I’ll follow Thee. 3. The bleeding feet of martyrs Thy toilsome road have trod; But fires of human passion May light the way to God. Then to my high allegiance I must not faithless be: Thro’ life or death, forever, My Lord, I’ll follow Thee. Used With Tune: CHENIES

Light For All

Author: Joseph Gostlick Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: You cannot pay with money Lyrics: 1 You cannot pay with money The million sons of toil— The sailor on the ocean, The peasant on the soil; The laborer in the quarry, The hewer of the coal, Your coin pays hand and sinew, But cannot pay the soul. 2 You gaze on yon cathedral, Whose turrets meet the sky: Remember its foundations In earth and darkness lie; For, were not those foundations So darkly resting there, The tow’rs could never rise up So proudly in the air. 3 The workshop must be crowded That palaces be bright; If ploughman made no furrow, The poet could not write. Let every toil be hallowed, That man performs for man, And have its share of honor As part of one great plan. 4 See, light darts down from Heaven, And enters where it may; The eyes of all earth’s people Are cheered with one bright day. So let the mind’s true sunshine Be spread o’er earth so free, To fill the souls that labor As waters fill the sea. 5 A turner of the soil Need not have earthly mind; Nor digger in the coal field Be held by spirit blind: The mind can shed a light on All worthy labor done, And humble acts shine brightly With radiance of the sun. 6 The tailor and the cobbler, May lift their heads as men— Nobler than Alexander, If he could live again, And think of all his bloodshed, (And all for nothing, too!) And ask himself—What made I As useful as a shoe? 7 What cheers the musing student The poet, the divine? The thought that on his followers A brighter day will shine. Let every human labor Enjoy the vision bright— And let the thought from Heaven Be spread like Heav’n’s own light! 8 O ye who wield the pen, Rise like a band inspired, Ye poets, let your lyrics With hope for man be fired; Till earth becomes a temple, And every human heart Shall join in one great service, Each happy in his part.

Most Fervent Thanks I Render

Author: H. Brueckner Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Most fervent thanks I render To Thee, my God and Lord, Who in Thy loving-kindness Dost gracious help afford: When night had spread her pinions Far over land and sea, I was secure from danger; Thy mercy shielded me. 2 All praise to Thee, O Father, Who in the gloom of night Dost grant me Thy protection And fill my soul with light. Pray help me do Thy bidding Thro'out this new-born day; Make Thou my will submissive And keep me in Thy way. 3 Vouchsafe to me Thy guidance Lest I should go astray; Let not the foe beguile me, Be Thou my staff and stay. Sustain me by Thy goodness, Thy mercy let me share; For Satan cannot harm me While I enjoy Thy care. 4 To Thine own praise and glory, Let me conclude this day; May I to Thee be faithful; O Lord, for this I pray. Shield both my soul and body, My house and native land; For all Thy love has given Is safe when in Thy hand. 5 To Thee be laud and honor, Thy name be blest for aye, Extend, O Lord, Thy kingdom Let grace and peace hold sway. Against the wiles of Satan Thy trusty weapons lend; In mercy grant Thy blessing, Be with us to the end. Amen. Topics: Morning; Processionals and Recessionals Morning Used With Tune: CHENIES

Ere God Had Built the Mountains

Author: William Cowper Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 17 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Ere God had built the mountains, Or raised the fruitful hills; Before He filled the fountains That feed the running rills; In me from everlasting, The wonderful I Am, Found pleasures never wasting, And Wisdom is my name. 2. When, like a tent to dwell in, He spread the skies abroad, And swathed about the swelling Of Ocean’s mighty flood; He wrought by weight and measure, And I was with Him then: Myself the Father’s pleasure, And mine, the sons of men. 3. Thus Wisdom’s words discover Thy glory and Thy grace, Thou everlasting Lover Of our unworthy race! Thy gracious eye surveyed us Ere stars were seen above; In wisdom Thou hast made us, And died for us in love. 4. And couldst Thou be delighted With creatures such as we, Who, when we saw Thee, slighted, And nailed Thee to a tree? Unfathomable wonder, And mystery divine! The voice that speaks in thunder, Says, Sinner, I am thine! Used With Tune: CHENIES Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779), number 52
