The Judgment

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:2 First Line: He is coming, he is coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he came before, Wailing infant, born in weakness On a lowly stable floor: But upon his cloud of glory, In the crimson-tinted sky, Where we see the golden sunrise In the rosy distance lie. 2 He is coming, he is coming, Not in pain, and shame, and woe, With the thorn-crown on his forehead. And the blood-drops trickling slow; But with diadem upon him, And the sceptre in his hand, And the dead all ranged before him, Raised from death, hell, sea, and land. 3 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he wandered through All the hostile land of Judah, With his followers poor and few: But with all the holy angels Waiting round his judgment-seat, And the chosen twelve apostles Sitting crowned at his feet. 4 He is coming, he is coming; Let his lowly first estate, And his tender love, so teach us That in faith and hope we wait, Till in glory eastward burning, Our redemption draweth near; And we see the sign in heaven Of our Judge and Saviour dear.

The great forerunner of the morn

Author: The Venerable Bede, 673-735; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:1 Lyrics: 1 The great forerunner of the morn, the herald of the Word, is born; and faithful hearts shall never fail with thanks and praise his light to hail. 2 With heavenly message Gabriel came, that John should be that herald's name, and with prophetic utterance told his actions great and manifold. 3 John, still unborn, yet gave aright his witness to the coming Light; and Christ, the Sun of all the earth, fulfilled that witness at his birth. 4 Of woman born shall never be a greater prophet than was he, whose mighty deeds exalt his fame to greater than a prophet’s name. 5 But why should mortal accents raise the hymn of John the Baptist’s praise? Of whom, or e’er his course was run, thus spake the Father to the Son? 6 'Behold, my herald, who shall go before thy face thy way to show, and shine, as with the Daystar’s gleam, before thine own eternal beam.' 7 All praise to God the Father be, all praise, eternal Son, to thee, whom with the Spirit we adore for ever and for evermore.

When those who feared the Lord of old

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 9 hymnals Scripture: Malachi 3:16-18 Lyrics: When those who fear'd the Lord of old Met oft, and spoke with one accord, A book was written, and enroll'd Their faithful names before the Lord. They shall be mine, Jehovah said, And as a signet on my hand, A crown of glory for my head, Among my chosen jewels stand. 153 And I will spare them in that day, Even as a father spares his son, When all the proud are swept away, The wicked, root and branch, undone. Then shall my righteousness be shown; Then, by their good or evil lot, The sinner and the saint be known, Who served the Lord, who served Him not. Lord, we are taught Thy name to fear, O may we tremble to offend; Lord, we are taught to serve Thee here, May we be faithful to the end. Our names are on Thy Church's rolls, But in Thy book our pardon write: Rich was the ransom of our souls, May they be precious in Thy sight. Topics: Fellowship of saints
