O how shall I receive Thee

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 95 hymnals Topics: Christ Second Advent of Lyrics: 1 O how shall I receive Thee, How greet Thee, Lord, aright? All nations long to see Thee, My hope, my heart's delight! O kindle, Lord, most holy, Thy lamp within my breast, To do in spirit lowly All that may please Thee best. 2 Thy Zion palms is strewing, And branches fresh and fair; My heart, its powers renewing, An anthem shall prepare. My soul puts off her sadness Thy glories to proclaim: With all her strength and gladness She fain would serve Thy name. 3 I lay in fetters groaning; Thou comest to set me free! I stood, my shame bemoaning, Thou comest to honor me; A glory Thou dost give me, A treasure safe on high, That will not fail nor leave me, As earthly riches fly. 4 Love caused Thy incarnation, Love brought Thee down to me. Thy thirst for my salvation Procured my liberty. O love beyond all telling, That led Thee to embrace, In love all love excelling, Our lost and fallen race! 5 Rejoice then, ye sad-hearted, Who sit in deepest gloom, Who mourn o'er joys departed, And tremble at your doom: He who alone can cheer you, Is standing at the door; In pity He is near you, And bids you weep no more. 6 Ye who, with guilty terror, Are trembling, fear no more; With love and grace the Saviour Shall you to hope restore. He comes to heal the spirit That mourneth, sin-oppressed, He comes, that we inherit Eternal joy and rest. 7 He comes to judge the nations, A terror to His foes, A light of consolations And blessed hope to those Who love the Lord's appearing: O glorious Sun, now come, Send forth Thy beams so cheering And guide us safely home!

There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But in lowly birth Thou didst come to earth, And in great humility: (Refrain) 3 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living Word That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary: (Refrain) 4 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing, At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying, "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee:" My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus! When Thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Used With Tune: MARGARET

The marriage feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up ye heirs of glory, The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign forever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold! 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere!
