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.

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.

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?"
