Till He Come

Author: Edward H. Bickersteth, Jr. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 254 hymnals First Line: Till He come O let the words Lyrics: 1. Till He come O let the words Linger on the trembling chords, Let the little while between In their golden light be seen; Let us think how Heaven and home Lie beyond that, Till He come. 2. When the weary ones we love Enter on their rest above, Seems the earth so poor and vast, All our life joy overcast? Hush, be every murmur dumb; It is only, Till He come. 3. Clouds and conflicts round us press; Would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is lost, Death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper, Till He come. 4. See, the feast of love is spread, Drink the wine, and break the bread; Sweet memorials, till the Lord Calls us round His heavenly board; Some from earth, from glory some Severed only, Till He come.

Ergo benedicite. 4 On this Infant may we call, Born for man in oxen stall; He vouchsafes us bliss withal In His everlasting hall. Cum Maria Virgine.

Righteous Lord, Thy People Spare

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Righteous Lord, Thy people spare! Lyrics: 1 Righteous Lord, Thy people spare! Lo! We turn at last to Thee, Humbly the correction bear Of our past iniquity, Own the cause of our distress, Mournfully our sins confess. 2 We Thy judgments have abhorred, We Thy covenant have broke, Daringly denied our Lord, Cast away His easy yoke, Would not cast our sins away, Would not know our gracious day. 3 Therefore is the plague begun, Therefore doth it still proceed, Wrath divine by means unknown, Wrath divine hath done the deed, Made the stalls and pastures void, God our cattle hath destroyed. 4 Heavier woes He keeps in store, If we still refuse to turn, Dare His anger’s utmost power, All His lingering pity scorn; But beneath Thy hand we bow, Stay Thy plague, and save us now. 5 Jesu, save us from our sins, Save us from our plague of heart; All of unbelief convince, All unto Thyself convert; Let our sin-sick spirits find Thee the healer of mankind. 6 No delight Thy goodness hath In the death of him who dies; Grant us then the living faith, Faith that on Thy blood relies, Faith that all Thy grace receives, Faith that all Thy fullness gives.

Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray

Author: Johann B. Freystein; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Rise, my soul, to watch and pray, from thy sleep awaken; Be not by the evil day unawares be taken. For the foe, well we know, oft his harvest reapeth, While the Christian sleepeth. 2. Watch against the devil’s snares lest asleep he find thee; For indeed no pains he spares to deceive and blind thee. Satan’s prey oft are they who secure are sleeping And no watch are keeping. 3. Watch! Let not the wicked world with its power defeat thee. Watch lest with her pomp unfurled she betray and cheat thee. Watch and see lest there be faithless friends to charm thee, Who but seek to harm thee. 4. Watch against thyself, my soul, lest with grace thou trifle; Let not self thy thoughts control nor God’s mercy stifle. Pride and sin lurk within all thy hopes to scatter; Heed not when they flatter. 5. But while watching, also pray to the Lord unceasing, He will free thee, be thy Stay, strength and faith increasing. O Lord, bless in distress and let nothing swerve me From the will to serve Thee. 6. Therefore let us watch and pray, knowing He will hear us As we see from day to day dangers ever near us, And the end doth impend— our redemption neareth When the Lord appeareth.

Russell Meter: 7.6.7.6.8.8.6.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O do not against me, Lord, Thy displeasure cherish; Give me not my just reward; Leave me not to perish. Guilt, our shame—wakes Thy flame: Christ our ransom payeth: He all wrath allayeth. 2 Show me then a father’s love, Me with aid consoling; Look in patience from above, All my fears controlling. Cheer my face—with Thy grace; Oil of consolation, Gladness and salvation. 3 O my foe, depart from me; God hath heard my crying: Him I seek, from fear set free, To His presence flying. Hence dismay—hence away: All my sorrow ceaseth; God my heart releaseth. 4 Holy Father! endless praise Here and in high Heaven, All shall to Thy glory raise, Praise to Christ be given Praise to Thee—ever be, Holy Ghost who hearest, And Thy suppliants cheerest.
