Tänk uti din ungdoms dagar

Author: Joel Blomqvist Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Tänk uti din ungdoms dagar På din skapare och Gud! O, "min son, gif mig ditt hjärta," Lyder än din Herres bud. Om och världen dig behagar, Då hon vänligt mot dig ler, Hennes fröjd förbyts i smärta, Hon till sist dig öfverger. 2 Säll den yngling, som ej nöjer Sig med världens falska fröjd, Som vid hennes usla brunnar Aldrig känner sig förnöjd. Lycklig den sig tidigt böjer Ödmjukt för sin Gud och hör Ordet, som han oss förkunnar, Tror det och därefter gör. Topics: Väckelse och Inbjudning; Invitation Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

God, Who Stretched the Spangled Heavens

Author: Catherine Cameron Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 47 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, who stretched the spangled heavens, infinite in time and place, flung the suns in burning radiance through the silent fields of space, we your children, in your likeness, share inventive powers with you. Great Creator, still creating, show us what we yet may do. 2 Proudly rise our modern cities, stately buildings, row on row; yet their windows, blank, unfeeling, stare on canyoned streets below, where the lonely drift unnoticed in the city's ebb and flow, lost to purpose and to meaning, scarcely caring where they go. 3 We have ventured worlds undreamed of since the childhood of our race; known the ecstasy of winging through untraveled realms of space; probed the secrets of the atom, yielding unimagined power, facing us with life’s destruction or our most triumphant hour. 4 As each far horizon beckons, may it challenge us anew, children of creative purpose, serving others, honoring you. May our dreams prove rich with promise, each endeavor well begun. Great Creator, give us guidance till our goals and yours are one. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Looking For Our Lord And Savior

Author: Richard W. Adams Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Looking for our Lord and Savior, Coming on the clouds of Heav’n, Clad in power and shining glory, Come to end the reign of sin. Long foretold by prophets, seers: First the tribulation ends, Then the sun and moon will darken, And the stars shall fall from Heav’n. 2 All the heavens’ powers are shaken, And appears the sign on high, That the Son of Man, returning, Once again to earth draws nigh. All the tribes of earth now mourning, As they hear the trumpet blast, And they look on Him they piercèd, Weeping bitter tears at last. 3 First He sends His reaper angels To uproot and bind the weeds, Set in bundles for the furnace, As befits their evil deeds. Sown by Satan’s evil malice, Children of the wicked one, They refused to bend the knee, And to bow to God’s own Son. 4 Then shall all the righteous shine forth In their Father’s kingdom grand; See them gathered from the four winds And the earth’s remotest land, His elect from every nation, All the saints Heav’n’s borders hold, All the children of the kingdom, Gathered to the Shepherd’s fold. 5 So He severs just from wicked, Rebels casts into the fire; From the furnace hear the wailing, Gnashing teeth upon the pyre. All with ears, now hear the lesson: Day and hour, no one knows; So be ready for the harvest, Be the wheat that golden grows. Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

Lift the strain of high thanksgiving!

Author: J. Ellerton Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift the strain of high thanksgiving! Tread with songs the hallowed way! Praise our father's God, for mercies New to us their sons to-day; Here they built for Him a dwelling, Served Him here in ages past, Fixed it for His sure possession, Holy ground, while time shall last. 2 When the years had wrought their changes, He, our own unchanging God, Thought on this His habitation, Looked on His decayed abode; Heard our prayers, and helped our counsels, Blessed the silver and the gold, Till once more His house is standing, Firm and stately as of old. 3 Entering then Thy gates with praises, Lord, be ours Thine Israel's prayer: "Rise into Thy place of resting, Show Thy promised presence there!" Let the gracious word be spoken Here, as once on Sion's height, "This shall be my rest forever, This My dwelling of delight." 4 Fill this latter house with glory Greater than the former knew; Clothe with righteousness Thy priesthood, Guide us all to reverence true; Let Thy Holy One's anointing Here its sevenfold blessing shed; Spread for us the heavenly banquet, Satisfy Thy poor with bread. 5 Praise to Thee, almighty Father, Praise to Thee, eternal Son, Praise to Thee, all-quickening Spirit, Ever blessèd Three in One: Threefold Power and Grace and Wisdom, Molding out of sinful clay, Living stones for that true temple, Which shall never know decay. Amen. Topics: Restoration of a Church Used With Tune: AUSTRIA

See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 202 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, his chariot, To His heavenly palace gate! Hark! The choirs of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory. He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled His foes. 3 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds of God's right hand; There we sit in heavenly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne, Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension, We by faith behold our own. Amen.
