This is a day of new beginnings; our God is making all things new. [For Holy Communion:] 5 In faith we'll gather round the table to taste and share what love can do.

When the King Shall Come Again

Author: Christopher Idle (1938-) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 43:16-21 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again, all his power revealing; splendour shall announce his reign, life and joy and healing: earth no longer in decay, hope no more frustrated; this is God's redemption day longingly awaited. 2 In the desert, trees take root, fresh from God's creation; plants and flowers and sweetest fruit join the celebration; rivers spring up from the earth, barren lands adorning. Valleys, this is your new birth; mountains, greet the morning! 3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees; fainting hearts, be cheerful! God who comes for such as these, seeks and saves the fearful. Deaf ears hear the silent tongues sing away their weeping; blind eyes see the lifeless ones walking, running, leaping! 4 There God's highway shall be seen where no roaring lion, nothing evil or unclean walks the road to Zion: ransomed people, homeward bound all your praises voicing, see your Lord with glory crowned, share in his rejoicing!
