Who Is This That Comes From Edom?

Author: John R. Macduff Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Who is that comes from Edom Lyrics: 1 Who is that comes from Edom, With His garments dyed in blood? It is He who bought our freedom, Bearing sin’s accursèd load; Mighty Savior! Who alone the wine press trod. 2 Nothing to Thy footstool bringing, But unworthiness and guilt, Solely to Thy merits clinging, All my hopes on Thee are built; Blessèd Jesus! Thou canst save me if Thou wilt! 3 Who is this that comes from Edom? But ’tis not as once He came; Trembling thousands now must meet Him On His car of cloud and flame; Guilty sinners! Who on earth despised His name. 4 Ne’er may I be of the number Who shall thus His throne surround, Startled from a guilty slumber By the final trumpet sound; Seeking shelter, Where no shelter can be found! 5 Oh, Thou Mighty One of Edom, Who the wine press trodd’st alone, Let me triumph in Thy freedom Which Thy bleeding love has won; Then I’ll meet Thee, Fearless, on Thy judgment throne!

“Come, Ye Blessed!”

Author: Joseph Morris Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Lo! He comes on clouds of glory Lyrics: Lo! He comes on clouds of glory, Circled by an angel-throng Who proclaim His lofty titles With their trumpets, loud and long. Halleluiah, Welcome, welcome, Son of Man! Thousand thousands, myriad myriads Bright attendants on the Lord, See I rising from corruption, At the mighty signal-word: Farewell, sadness, Full redemption now is come. Now behold th’ exalted Shepherd Calleth one by one his sheep; Lo! they rise with joy to meet Him, None in earth or ocean sleep. Love unbounded, Thou shalt henceforth ever reign. There for sin is no upbraiding, Nought but pardon full and free: Nought but his deep love, and merit Shall now unforgotten be; Fear hath vanished, Joy and rapture overflow. “Come, ye faithful servants, enter, Blessèd children of your God: Come, receive eternal mansions, Purchased for you with my blood! Come and welcome, Now my love is satisfied.”

Father, Long Before Creation

Author: Francis P. Jones Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, long before creation you had chosen us in love, and that love so deep, so moving, draws us close to Christ above. Still it keeps us firmly fixed in Christ alone. 2 Though the world may change its fashion, you will still remain the same; your compassion and your covenant through all ages will remain. Your own children shall forever praise your name. 3 Your compassion is our story, is our boasting all the day; mercy free and never failing moves our will, directs our way. God so loved us that he gave his only Son. 4 Loving Father, now before you we shall ever sing your grace, and our song will sound forever when we see you face to face, giving glory to the Lamb upon the throne.

Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 157 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lo! He cometh! countless trumpetsBlow before his bloody sign,Midst ten thousand saints and angels,See the crucified shine.Hallelujah!Welcome, welcome bleeding Lamb!2. Now his merit by the harpers,Through the eternal deep resounds!Now resplendent shine his nail prints,Every eye shall see the wounds;They who pierced himShall at his appearing wail.3. Every island, sea, and mountain,Heaven and earth shall flee away!All who hate him must, ashamed,Hear the trump proclaim the day:Come to judgment,Stand before the Son of man.4. Saints, who love him, view his glory,Shining in his bruised face:See him seated on the rainbow,Now his people's head shall raise:Happy mourners!Now on clouds he comes! he comes!5. Now redemption, long expected,See, in solemn pomp appear:All his people, once rejected,Now shall meet him in the air:Hallelujah!Now the promised kingdom's come!6.View him smiling – now determinedEvery evil to destroy;All the nations now shall sing himSongs of everlasting joy.O, come quickly!Hallelujah! come Lord, come!

From Thy Habitation Holy

Author: John R. Macduff Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Thy habitation holy, Spirit of all truth, descend, While we sinners, poor and lowly, At the throne of mercy bend; Help our weakness— And a gracious answer send! 2 Come Thou, as the dew of Hermon Softly falls on Zion’s hill Let us in Thy strength determine Henceforth to obey Thy will— Dwell within us— Let Thy grace our bosoms fill. 3 Brooding o’er us as on chaos Cause our darkness to retreat; Shine into our hearts, and lay us Humbled at the mercy-seat— Guide us—use us As Thy sovereign love sees meet. 4 When the heart is crushed and broken, When bereavement dims the eye, Let us claim the promise spoken By those lips that cannot lie— Blessèd Savior, Send Thy Spirit from on high. 5 When we tread the waves of Jordan, O be near us, sacred Guest! Seal to us our hope of pardon; Dove-like o’er each billow’s crest Do Thou hover— Guiding to eternal rest! Used With Tune: RAPHAEL (Hopkins) Text Sources: Altar Stones, (London: James Nisbet, 1853)
