A day of awful grandeur dawns

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #893 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A day of awful grandeur dawns, And lo! the Judge appears; Ye heavens, retire before his face; And sink, ye darkened stars, And sink, ye darkened stars. 2 The day approaches, O my soul, The great decisive day Which from the verge of mortal life Shall bear thee far away. 3 Yet does one short, preparing hour One precious hour remain; Rouse, then, my soul, with all thy power, Nor let it pass in vain.

A few more years shall roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: SDAH1886 #817 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall meet the loved who now Are sleeping in the tomb: Then, O may Lord, prepare My soul for that great day; O, wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that calm day; O, wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 3 A few more struggles here, A few more partings sore, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that blest day; O, wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away! 4 'Tis but a little while, And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we may with him reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O, wash me in thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

A glory gilds the sacred page

Author: Wm. Cowper Hymnal: SDAH1886 #180 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A glory gilds the sacred page, Majestic like the sun; It gives a light to every age, It gives, but borrows none. 2 The Spirit breathes upon the word, And brings the truth to sight; Precepts and promises afford A sanctifying light. 3 The hand that gave it, still supplies The gracious light and heat; His truths upon the nations rise, They rise, but never set. 4 Let everlasting thanks be thine, For such a bright display; It makes a world of darkness shine With beams of heavenly day.

A glory in the Word we find

Hymnal: SDAH1886 #179 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A glory in the word we find When grace restores our sight; But sin has darkened all the mind, And vailed the heavenly light, And vailed the heavenly light. 2 When God's own Spirit clear our view, How bright the doctrines shine! Their holy fruits and sweetness show The author is divine. 3 How blest are we, with open face To view thy glory, Lord, And all thy image here to trace, Reflected in thy word! 4 O teach us, as we look, to grow In holiness and love, That we may long to see and know Thy glorious face above.

A little while, our Lord shall come

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #788 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A little while, our Lord shall come, And we shall wander here no more; He'll take us to our Father's home, Where he for us has gone before. 2 A little while, he'll come again; Let us the precious hours redeem, Our only grief to give him pain, Our joy to serve and follow him. 3 A little while, 'twill soon be past, Why should we shun the shame and cross; O let us in his footsteps haste, Counting for him all else but loss. 4 A little while, come, Saviour, come! For thee thy church has tarried long; Take thy poor, wearied pilgrims home, To sing the new, eternal song. Topics: Waiting for Christ Closing Work Tune Title: HARTEL

A lovely infant sleeps in death

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #936 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A lovely infant sleeps in death; How beautiful and fair! Yes, even now, though void of breath, God's impress still is there. 2 And if thus fair and lovely here, Beneath death's icy hand, O will it not be beauteous there, 'Mid the immortal band? 3 When Jesus bids it rise and live With all the saints in light, A glorious body then he'll give, Resplendent to the sight! 4 Though nature weeps when lovely ties So strongly bound are riven, Yet faith the Saviour's words applies, "Of such the realms of heaven!"

A parting hymn we sing

Author: A. R. Wolfe Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1112 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A parting hymn we sing, Around thy table, Lord; Again our grateful tribute bring, Our solemn vows record. 2 Here have we seen thy face, And felt thy presence here; So may the savor of thy grace In word and life appear. 3 The purchase of thy blood, By sin no longer led, The path our dear Redeemer trod May we rejoicing tread. 4 In self-forgetting love Be our communion shown Until we join the church above, And know as we are known.

A pilgrim through this lonely world

Author: Sir Edward Denny Hymnal: SDAH1886 #311 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim through this lonely world, The blessed Saviour passed; A mourner all his life was he, A dying Lamb at last. 2 That tender heart that felt for all, For all its life-blood gave; It found on earth no resting-place, Save only in the grave. 4 Such was our Lord; and shall we fear The cross, with all its scorn? Or love a faithless, evil world, That wreathed his brow with thorn? Topics: Christ Life and Character Tune Title: EVAN

A thrilling cry we hear the sound

Author: Anon. Hymnal: SDAH1886 #1148 (1886) Lyrics: 1 A thrilling cry we hear the sound; The faithful watchmen lift their voice; From land to land the world around It bids the saints rejoice: Ye pilgrims, rise, break forth and sing The glorious coming of your King; The thrilling cry we hear it sound, "Prepare to meet your Lord." 2 Blow, watchmen, blow the certain sound, For dark and dangerous is the night; And daring scoffers gather round The evil servants smite. Ye faithful ones the strict watch keep, With lamps well trimmed, and do not sleep The thrilling cry, we hear it sound, "Prepare to meet your Lord." 3 In earth's dark hour God's word gives light, Its rays dispel the thickening gloom; The path to glory now is bright The Bridegroom soon will come. Then lift your voices, saints, and sing Your sweetest strains to Zion's King The thrilling cry we hear it sound, "Prepare to meet your Lord."

Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide

Author: Henry F. Lyte Hymnal: SDAH1886 #568 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Abide with me! Fast falls the eventide, The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide! When other helpers fail, and comforts flee, Help of the helpless, O abide with me! 2 Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day; Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away; Change and decay in all around I see; O thou, who changest not, abide with me! 3 I need thy presence every passing hour; What but thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Though cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me! 4 I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; Where is death's sting? where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. Topics: The Christian Family Devotion Tune Title: EVENTIDE
