The Hour Has Come, Foretold Since Time Began

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: The Hour has come, foretold since time began, when on that cross there hangs the Son of Man, and through what pain his prayer is heard in heaven that those who drove the nails might be forgiven. The dying thief is promised 'You shall be this very day in paradise with me.' He charges Mary, and that well-loved one, be now his mother, and be now her son. The world's true light in darkness dies alone, and asks why God should so forsake his own; while, as the powers of evil do their worst, the living water, too, becomes ' I thirst.' The Prince of Life, his earthly purpose done, cries 'Finished' now, a world's salvation won, and as the gate of heaven open stands commends his spirit to his Father's hands: soon from his three-day grave to rise again, to rise in glory, and in glory reign.

As Jonah, Issuing from His Three Days' Tomb

Author: Cosmas the Melodist; John M. Neale Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1. As Jonah, issuing from his three days’ tomb, At length was cast, uninjured, on the earth; So, from the virgin’s unpolluted womb Th’incarnate Word, that dwelt there, had His birth: For He, who knew no taint of mortal stain, Willed that His mother spotless should remain. 2. Christ comes, incarnate God, amongst us now, Begotten of the Father ere the day: And He, to whom the sinless legions bow, Lies cradled, ’midst unconscious beasts on hay: And, by His homely swaddling-bands girt in, Looses the many fetters of our sin. 3. Now the new Child of Adam’s race draws nigh, To us, the faithful, giv’n: This, this is He That shall the Father of eternity, The Angel of the Mighty Counsel, be: This the eternal God, by whose strong hands The fabric of the world supported stands.

Prayer For Rain

Author: Hannah J. Lewis, 1816-1885 Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Rain, rain! the meadow lands are all athirst Lyrics: 1 Rain, rain! the meadow lands are all athirst; The leaves grow crisp upon the forest trees; The flowers that spring’s abundant moisture nursed Yield no more fragrance to the passing breeze— They have all bowed their heads like things accursed And when shall fresher ones succeed to these? 2 Along the bed of the once rushing brook We seek in vain to trace its sparkling tide; And far away in some old shady nook, Where late its crystal drops it loved to hide. The clustering branches bend, and vainly look For the lost jewels, once the woodland pride! 3 Clouds rise and float across the azure main, The thunder sends its greeting o’er the hills, But the soft falling and refreshing rain No more the parching earth with gladness fills; And the sere upland, with the barren plain Unheeded supplicate the vanished rills. 4 God of the storm and the reviving shower, Look Thou in mercy on our sorest need! Let not the harvest fail, since Thine the power To fill the reaper’s hand with priceless meed: We look to Thee in this o’ershadowed hour, For blessings which alone from Thee proceed!

My Sins Have Taken Such a Hold on Me

Author: John S. B. Monsell Meter: 10.10.10.10.10.10 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1. My sins have taken such a hold on me, I am not able to look up to Thee; Lord, I repent; accept my tears and grief: But Thou hast taken all my sins away, And I in Thee dare now look up and pray: Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief. 2. Of nights unhallowed, and of sinful days, Of careless thoughts and words and works and way, Lord, I repent; accept my tears and grief: And in the life which doth within me live, And the forgiveness which can all forgive, Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief. 3. Of selfishness which makes the soul unjust, Envy and strife and every sinful lust, Lord, I repent; accept my tears and grief: And in the blood, which doth my pardon plead, The truth and love, which for me intercede, Lord, I believe; help Thou mine unbelief. 4. Of sins that as a cloud have hid Thy face, Of Thy care slighted, and thy grievèd grace, Lord, I repent; accept my tears and grief: In Love, that puts sin’s envious veil aside, Rending the veil of flesh which for me died, Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief. 5. For sin I mourn, the sin that gave Thee pain; Thine was the burden, mine alone the stain; Lord, I repent; accept my tears and grief: Christ is my joy; and out of all distress He doth deliver with His righteousness: Lord, I believe, help Thou mine unbelief.
