'Tis but a bitter-sweet; When I attempt to pluck the rose, A piercing thorn I meet. 5 Here perfect bliss can ne'er be found, The honey's mixt with gall; Midst changing scenes and dying friends, Be thou my all in all.

The Son of Man Has Been Revealed

Author: Michael Saward Meter: 8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Obedience (see also Will of God) Lyrics: 1 The Son of Man has been revealed as prophet, priest, and king; with feet like bronze, with robes of gold, his voice a mighty torrent bold, his eyes aflame, his age untold, in glory shimmering. 2 To John he spoke on Patmos isle, "Write now of what shall be; don't be afraid, for there is none before me, or when all is done, I hold the keys, the stars, the sun; stand up and you shall see." 3 *[choose from verses below] 4 To seven churches thus he spoke, and called on each to hear. Our fears and failures he'll expose; our opportunities he knows; his grace and mercy overflows, his victory is near. * a) Ephesus: His are the words of one on high who holds the stars in space; who calls his faithful to endure and, by repentance, to secure the food of life, serene and pure, within God's holy place. b) Smyrna: His are the words of one on high the first and last who lives, who offers hope instead of fear, the crown of life to those who hear, his glorious presence ever near, as one who freely gives. c) Pergamum: His are the words of one on high who wields the two-edged sword. He breaks the power of Satan's throne; he judges sin among his own and gives a name in secret known to those who call him "Lord." d) Thyatira: His are the words of one on high whose eyes are flaming fire. He flings the faithless to the dust; he pours his love upon the just. The Morning Star is theirs, who trust in Christ, their great desire. e) Sardis: His are the words of one on high who rules the seven stars, and when he comes, as comes a thief, all unexpected, bringing grief, some will be lost in sham belief, while white-robed saints bear scars. f) Philadelphia: His are the words of one on high, the holy one and true, who gives the church an open door and holds them safe in anguish sore, who crowns the faithful who adore his name, and city, new. g) Laodicea: His are the words of one on high, all glorious his renown. He scorns complacency and pride, for hungry sinners he'll provide, he offers gold, refined and tried; creation's Source and Crown. Scripture: Revelation 1:9-20 Used With Tune: WITHINGTON

Tro dog din Frelser vel, Vær dog i hannem fro, Han ved din Sag at vende Til god og lyksom Ende, Det skal du stadig tro. 2 Han aldrig dem forlader I nogen Modgangs Tid, Som kjende ham for Fader Og slaa til ham sin Lid; Ser det end farligt ud, Saa tør du dog ei grue, Du skal dog Frelse skue Fra al Miskundheds Gud. 3 Han aldrig monne glemme, Hvad Nød du er isted, Thi skal du dig ei græmme, For Mennesker er vred; Kun ti, og lid og bi, Vil han dig Hjælp tilskikke, Saa kan al Verden ikke Der gjøre Hinder i. 4 Om Satans Hær end sværmer, Saa er dog Gud din Borg, Som altid dig beskjermer, Og redder af al Sorg; Om hele Helvede Sig ind imod dig sætter, Det intet dog udretter, Guds Vilje dog maa ske. 5 Skal det og hart tilgange, Saa vrid dig ei derved, Det gaar saa andre Mange I denne Usselhed; Langt bedre det dog er Med Guds Folk her at lide, End finde hisset qvide I evig Døds Ufærd. 6 Lad dig derfore nøie Med det i Jesu Navn, Som Gud vil selv tilføie, Det alt er til dit Gavn; Dit Haab paa ham kun stil, I hvad der gaar tilhaande Dig frelse af al Vaande Han baade kan og vil. 7 Derfor jeg ham hengive Mig vil og al min Id; Gud unde mig at blive Derved til evig Tid; Det alt behager mig, Som Herren selv behager, Jeg ved, han Omsorg drager For mig saa faderlig.
