O Holy Angels Bright
Judge Eternal, Throned in Splendor
Author: Henry Scott Holland Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 Judge Eternal, throned in splendor,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with your living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of your wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release,
and the city’s crowded clangor
cries aloud for sin to cease,
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O God, your own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with your sword;
feed the faithless and the hungry
with the richness of your word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord.

"Your Kingdom Come" -- On Bended Knee
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer (1840-1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 "Your 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. Topics: Advent; Justice; Kingdom Used With Tune: IRISH

The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns
Author: John Brownlie, 1857-1925 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 93 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics: 1 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light triumphant breaks.

And life to joy awakes.

To suffer and to die,
But crowned with glory like the sun
That lights the morning sky.
3 The King shall come when morning dawns
And earth's dark night is past;
O haste the rising of that morn
Whose day shall ever last.
4 And let the endless bliss begin,
By weary saints foretold,
When right shall triumph over wrong,
And truth shall be extolled.
5 The King shall come when morning dawns
And light and beauty brings.
Hail, Christ, the Lord! your people pray:
Come quickly, King of kings. Topics: Advent; Christ the King; Jesus Christ; Judgment; Morning; Second Coming Used With Tune: ST. STEPHEN

How Wondrous and Great Thy Works, God of Praise!
I hate the tempter and his charms
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72 Lyrics:
I hate the tempter and his charms,
I hate his flatt'ring breath;
The serpent takes a thousand forms
To cheat our souls to death.
He feeds our hopes with airy dreams,
Or kills with slavish fear;
And holds us still in wide extremes,
Presumption or despair.
Now he persuades, "How easy 'tis
To walk the road to heav'n;"
Anon he swells our sins, and cries,
"They cannot be forgiv'n."
[He bids young sinners "yet forbear
To think of God, or death;
For prayer and devotion are
But melancholy breath."
He tells the aged, "they must die,
"And 'tis too late to pray;
In vain for mercy now they cry,
For they have lost their day."]
Thus he supports his cruel throne
By mischief and deceit,
And drags the sons of Adam down
To darkness and the pit.
Almighty God, cut short his power,
Let him in darkness dwell
And that he vex the earth no more,
Confine him down to hell.

I hate the tempter and his charms
Bright the vision that delighted
Author: Richard Mant, 1776-1848 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 72:19 Lyrics: 1 Bright the vision that delighted
once the sight of Judah's seer;
sweet the countless tongues united
to entrance the prophet's ear.
2 Round the Lord in glory seated
cherubim and seraphim
filled his temple, and repeated
each to each the alternate hymn:
3 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.'
4 Heaven is still with glory ringing,
earth takes up the angels' cry,
'Holy, holy, holy,' singing,
'Lord of hosts, the Lord most high.'
5 With his seraph train before him,
with his holy church below,
thus unite we to adore him,
bid we thus our anthem flow:
6 'Lord, thy glory fills the heaven;
earth is with its fullness stored;
unto thee be glory given,
holy, holy, holy, Lord.' Topics: Fifth Sunday Before Lent Year C; Trinity Sunday; Proper 17 Year C Used With Tune: LAUS DEO (REDHEAD 46)
