your people sing in sweetest tone.

Where we your parting promise claim,
assembled in your sacred name.

and come within our hearts to live.

and you will make our faith endure.

when earth and heav'n shall melt away,
your flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
shall swell the sound of praise again. Topics: Opening of Service Used With Tune: ST. CHAD

Come, Lord, and Tarry Not
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 3:8-9 Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and tarry not;
Bring the long-looked-for day;
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?

Daily ascends their sigh:
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come":
Dost Thou not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans,
Impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of delay.
4 Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded Paradise,
Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin Thy reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the Kingdom to Thyself,
Great King of Righteousness.

Jesus, Lord, to you we raise;
once revealed, when heaven's star
brought the wise men from afar;
branch of royal David's stem
in your birth at Bethlehem,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.

prophet, priest and king supreme;
once revealed in power divine
changing water into wine;
Cana's holy wedding guest
keeping to the last the best;
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
3 God revealed in valiant fight,
conquering the devil's might;
sins forgiven, sickness healed,
life restored and God revealed:
once revealed in gracious will
ever bringing good from ill,
Word before the world began,
God revealed to us in man.
4 Stars shall fall and heavens fade,
sun and moon shall dark be made;

all will see the glorious sign;
all will then the trumpet hear,
all will see the Son appear,

God revealed to us in man. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S, WINDSOR Text Sources: Jubilate Hymns, 1982, rev.

for thou art he who shalt by right
the nations all possess.

by thy strong hand are done:
