Jesus Came, the Heavens Adoring
Judge eternal, throned in splendour
Author: Henry Scott Holland, 1847-1918 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 108 hymnals Scripture: James 5:9 Lyrics: 1 Judge eternal, throned in splendour,
Lord of lords and King of kings,
with thy living fire of judgment
purge this land of bitter things;
solace all its wide dominion
with the healing of thy wings.
2 Still the weary folk are pining
for the hour that brings release:
and the city’s crowded clangour
cries aloud for sin to cease;
and the homesteads and the woodlands
plead in silence for their peace.
3 Crown, O Lord, thine own endeavor;
cleave our darkness with thy sword;
cheer the faint and feed the hungry
with the richness of thy word;
cleanse the body of this nation
through the glory of the Lord.

in the desert streams shall flow. Topics: Advent; Water Used With Tune: JOY SHALL COME Text Sources: Israeli trad.
