Kennedy Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Zion, at thy shining gates Lo! the King of glory waits; Haste thy monarch’s pomp to greet, Strew thy palms before His feet. 2 Christ, for Thee their triple light Faith and Hope and Love unite; This the beacon we display, To proclaim Thine advent day. 3 Come, and give us peace within; Loose us from the bands of sin; Take away the galling weight Laid on us by Satan’s hate; 4 Give us grace Thy yoke to wear; Give us strength Thy cross to bear; Make us Thine in deed and word, Thine in heart and life, O Lord. 5 Kill in us the carnal root, That the Spirit may bear fruit; Plant in us Thy lowly mind; Keep us faithful, loving, kind. 6 So, when Thou shalt come again, Judge of angels and of men, We, with all Thy saints shall sing Hallelujahs to our king.

Seems it in my anguish lone

Author: Christoph Titius; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Seems it in my anguish lone, As though God forsook His own, Yet I hold this knowledge fast, God will surely help at last. 2 Though awhile it be delayed, He denieth not His aid; Though it come not oft with speed, It will surely come in need. 3 As a father not too soon Grants his child the longed-for boon, So our God gives when He will; Wait His pleasure and be still. 4 I can rest in thoughts of Him, When all courage else grows dim, For I know my soul shall prove His is more than father's love. 5 Would the powers of ill affright, I can smile at all their might; Or the cross be pressing sore, God, my God, lives evermore! 6 Man may hate me causelessly, Man may plot to ruin me, Foes my heart may piecer and rend: God in heaven is still my Friend. 7 Earth may all her gifts deny, Safe my treasure is on high; And if heaven at last be mine, All things else I can resign. 8 I renounce thee willingly, World, I hate what pleases thee, Baneful every gift of thine, Only be my God still mine. 9 Ah Lord, if but Thee I have, Nought of other good I crave, Bright is even death's dark road, If but Thou art there, my God.
