Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Lord, let my evening prayer As incense sweet ascend; And while I lift my hands to Thee, From heaven in mercy bend. For in Thy name I hope, And brightness floods my way; The night departs, and clouds that roll, And threaten with dismay. And in Thy name I trust, To find Thy promise sure; Thy cov'nant like the mountains strong, That evermore endure. 33 Now, at this evening hour, My hope and trust renew; Refresh me as the earth that drinks The cool refreshing dew. And when the morning wakes, Awake my soul, I pray, That in Thy strength goes forth to bear The burdens of the day.

The Time Shall Surely Come

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: The time shall surely come, The hour is drawing near, When in the clouds of heaven the Lord To mortals shall appear. Not in a lowly garb, Shall we the Lord descry, But decked in glory like the sun, That lights the morning sky. Not as in former days, To pain and suffering sore,-- He comes to judge, Who came to save,-- To reign for evermore. Then, O my soul, awake! Put on thy garb of light, Look for the dawn that brings the day, All glorious and bright. Wait, for the hour is nigh; Watch, for His coming nears; Be thou the faithful servant then, When He, thy Lord, appears.

Beyond the Clouds of Heaven

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Beyond the clouds of Heaven, The Lord of life ascends; Behold Him rise towards the skies, Who for our race was given. He came to earth Whose grace Hath made our vileness clean; That we may rise towards the skies, And serve before His face. He dwelt on earth Who gave Himself for sinful man,-- That we may rise towards the skies, Whom he came down to save. We would no longer gaze, O Christ, to where Thou art,-- But, that we rise, towards the skies, Do Thou Thy servants raise.
