Lo, he comes, with clouds descending

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #1 (1874) Lyrics: 1 Lo, he comes, with clouds descending, Once for favour'd sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train: Alleluia! Christ, the Lord, returns to reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold him, Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at naught and sold him, Pierced, and nailed him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Every island, sea, and mountain, Heaven and earth, shall feel away: All who hate him must, confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day; Come to judgment, Come to judgment, come away. 4 Now redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear: All his saints, by men rejected, Now shall meet him in the air: Alleluia! See the day of God appear. 5 Yea, Amen; let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne: Saviour, take the power and glory; Claim the kingdoms for thine own: O come quickly! Alleluia! Come, Lord, come! Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English

The Lord will come: the earth shall quake

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #2 (1874) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come: the earth shall quake, The hills their fixèd seat forsake; And, withering from the vault of night, The stars withdraw their feeble light. 2 The Lord will come: but not the same As once in lowly form he came, A silent Lamb to slaughter led, The bruised, the suffering and the dead. 3 The Lord will come: a dreadful form, With wreath of flame, and robe of storm, On cherub wings, and wings of wind, Anointed Judge of human-kind. 4 Can this be he who wont to stray A pilgrim on the world's highway; By power oppress'd, and mock'd by pride, O God! is this the Crucified? 5 Go, tyrants, to the rocks complain; Go, seek the mountain's cleft in vain; But faith, victorious o'er the tomb, Shall sing for joy, The Lord is come.

That day of wrath, that dreadful day

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #3 (1874) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away, What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? 2 When, shrivelling like a parchèd scroll, The flaming heavens together roll, When louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the cloud. 3 O! on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.

Hosanna to the living Lord!

Hosanna in the highest! 3 O Saviour, with protecting care, Return to this thy house of prayer: Assembled in thy sacred Name, Where we thy parting promise claim: Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! 4 But, chiefest, in our cleansèd breast, Eternal! bid thy Spirit rest; And make our secret soul to be A temple pure, and worthy thee. Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest! 5 So in the last and dreadful day, When earth and heaven shall melt away, Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain, Shall swell the sound of praise again. Hosanna, Lord!

Rejoice, rejoice, believers!

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #5 (1874) Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, rejoice, believers! And let your lights appear; The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon he will draw nigh; Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 See that your lights are burning; Replenish them with oil; Look now for your salvation, The end of sin and toil. The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near, Go meet him as he cometh, With alleluias clear. 3 O wise and holy virgins, Now raise your voices higher, Till, in your jubilations Ye meet the angel choir. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The days of earth's redemption, And ever be with thee! Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English

The Lord unto my Lord thus spake

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #6 (1874) Lyrics: 1 The Lord unto my Lord thus spake: "Till I thy foes thy footstool make, Sit thou in state at my right hand: Supreme in Sion thou shalt be, And all thy proud opposers see Subjected to thy just command. 2 "Thee, in thy power's triumphant day, The willing people shall obey; And, when thy rising beams they view, Shall all (redeem'd from error's night) Appear more numerous and bright Than crystal drops of morning des." 3 The Lord hath sworn, nor sworn in vain, That, like Melchizedek's, thy reign And priesthood shall no period see; Anointed Prince! thou, bending low, Shalt drink where darkest torrents flow, Then raise thy head in victory!

Thy kingdom come, O God

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #7 (1874) Lyrics: 1 Thy kingdom come, O God, Thy reign, O Christ, begin; Break with thine iron rod The tyrannies of sin. 2 Where is thy rule of peace And purity, and love? When shall all hatred cease, As in the realms above? 3 When comes the promised time That war shall be no more, Oppression, lust, and crime Shall flee thy face before? 4 We pray thee, Lord, arise, And come in thy great might; Revive our longing eyes, Which languish for thy sight. 5 Men scorn thy sacred name, And wolves devour thy fold; By many deeds of shame We learn that love grows cold. 6 O'er heathen lands afar Thick darkness broodeth yet: Arise, O morning Star, Arise, and never set.

Once more, O Lord, thy sign shall be

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #8 (1874) Lyrics: 1 Once more, O Lord, thy sign shall be Upon the heavens displayed, And earth and its inhabitants Be terribly afraid: For, not in weakness clad, thou com'st, Our woes, our sins to bear, But girt with all thy Father's might, His judgment to declare. 2 The terrors of that awful day O who can understand? Or who abide, when thou in wrath Shall lift thy holy hand? The earth shall quake, the sea shall roar, The sun in heaven grow pale; But thou hast sworn, and wilt not change, Thy faithful shall not fail. 3 Then grant us, Saviour, so to pass Our time in trembling here, That when upon the clouds of heaven Thy glory shall appear, Uplifting high our joyful heads, In triumph we may rise, And enter, with thine angel train, Thy palace in the skies.

Come, quickly come, dread Judge of all

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #9 (1874) Lyrics: 1 Come, quickly come, dread Judge of all; For, awful though thine advent be, All shadows from the truth will fall, And falsehood die, in sight of thee: Come, quickly come: for doubt and fear Like clouds dissolve when thou art near. 2 Come, quickly come, great King of all; Reign all around us, and within; Let sin no more our souls enthral, Let pain and sorrow die with sin: Come, quickly come: for thou alone Canst make thy scattered people one. 3 Come, quickly come, true Life of all; The curse of death is on the ground; On every home his shadows fall, On every heart his mark is found: Come, quickly come: for grief and pain Can never cloud thy glorious reign. 4 Come, quickly come, sure Light of all, For gloomy night broods o'er our way; And fainting souls begin to fall With weary watching for the day: Come, quickly come: for round thy throne No eye is blind, no night is known.

O Jesus, thou art standing

Hymnal: HPEC1874 #10 (1874) Lyrics: 1 O Jesus, thou art standing Outside the fast-closed door, In lowly patience waiting To pass the threshold o'er: We bear the name of Christians, His Name and sign who bear; O shame, thrice shame upon us, To keep him standing there! 2 O Jesus, thou art knocking: And lo! that hand is scarr'd, And thorns thy brow encircle, And tears thy face have marr'd: O love that passeth knowledge So patiently to wait! O sin that hath no equal, So fast to bar the gate! 3 O Jesus, thou art pleading In accents meek and low, "I died for you, my children, And will ye treat me so?" O Lord, with shame and sorrow We open now the door: Dear Saviour, enter, enter, And leave us nevermore. Topics: The Christian Year Advent Languages: English
