The Bridegroom Coming At Midnight

Author: William C. Dix Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Dark fall the hours this winter-tide Lyrics: 1 Dark fall the hours this winter-tide, Strange silence reigns on every side, And day seems wrapped in gloom, Save few short hours, which, all too brief, Light up bare tree and fallen leaf, Then fade in hapless doom. 2 Now let each lamp be burning bright, Lest, unaware, the sudden night Enshroud us in the dark, And we in vain, through snow and cold, With wavering feet, seek out the fold, And Love’s all sheltering ark. 3 O silent hours of wintry days, From summer’s joy and golden rays, From autumn’s harvest song, We turn to you, for ye reveal The waiting bride, and make us feel, The Bridegroom comes ere long. Used With Tune: JOSEPHINE Text Sources: A Vision of All Saints, and Other Poems (London; John Hodges, 1871)

Tired with the greatness of my way

Meter: 8.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Tired with the greatness of my way, FromHim I would no longer stray, Bur rest inJesus have: Weary of sin, from sin would cease, Weary of mine own righteousness, And stoop, myself to save.

Father (for that’s the sweetest name That e’er these lips were taught to frame), Instruct this heart to pray. 2 Low in the dust my parents lie, And no attentive ear is nigh But Thine, to mark my woe; No hand to wipe away my tears, No gentle voice to hush my fears, Remains to me below. 3 To Heav’n my earthly friends are gone, And thither are my comforts flown, But I continue here; Be Thou my pattern, Thou my guide; This friendless heart from sorrow hide, Reposing on Thy care.
