When the Lord in Glory Comes
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, b. 1926 Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When the Lord in glory comes
not the trumpets, not the drums,
not the anthem, not the psalm,
not the thunder, not the calm,
not the shout the heavens raise,
not the chorus, not the praise,
not the silences sublime,
not the sounds of space and time,
but his voice when he appears shall be music to my ears--
but his voice when he appears shall be music to my ears.
2 When the Lord is seen again
not the glories of his reign,
not the lightnings through the storm,
not the radiance of his form,
not his pomp and pow'r alone,
not the splendors of his throne,
not his robe and diadems,
not the gold and not the gems,
but his face upon my sight shall be darkness into light--
but his face upon my sight shall be darkness into light.
3 When the Lord to human eyes
shall bestride our narrow skies,
not the child of humble birth,
not the carpenter of earth,
not the man by all denied,
not the victim crucified,
but the God who died to save,
but the victor of the grave,
he it is to whom I fall, Jesus Christ, my All in all--
he it is to whom I fall, Jesus Christ, my All in all.

In Gethsemane Alone
Author: S. E. R. Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 D Appears in 18 hymnals First Line: Oh, what wondrous love I see Refrain First Line: Oh, what love, matchless love Lyrics: 1 Oh, what wondrous love I see,
Freely shown for you and me,
By the One Who did atone!
Just to show His matchless grace,
Jesus suffered for the race,
In Gethsemane, alone.
Refrain:
Oh, what love, matchless love,
Oh, what love for me was shown!
His forever I will be,
For the love He gave to me,
When He suffered all alone.
2 “Tarry here,” He told the three,
“Tarry here and watch for Me,”
But they heard no bitter moan;
For the three disciples slept
While my loving Savior wept
In Gethsemane, alone. [Refrain]
3 Long in anguish deep was He,
Weeping there for you and me,
For our sin to Him was known;
We should love Him evermore
For the anguish that He bore
In Gethsemane, alone. [Refrain] Scripture: Mark 14:32 Used With Tune: [Oh, what wondrous love I see] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/In_Gethsemane_Alone)

No Surrender!
Author: James R. Murray Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: No surrender to the foe! Lyrics: 1 No surrender to the foe!
Shout the cry where’er you go;
Falter never! we must win,
No surrendering to sin.
No surrender! let it be
Battle cry for you and me;
God will help us, He is near;
He is with us, do not fear.
No surrender to the foe!
Shout the cry where’er you go;
Falter never! we must win,
No surrendering to sin.
2 No surrender! press along,
Tho’ the hosts of sin are strong;
We shall more than conquerors be,
If we trust, O Lord, in Thee!
No surrender! angel bands
From the fair and heav’nly lands
Haste to help us; more are they
Than the foes that bar our way.
No surrender! press along,
Tho’ the hosts of sin are strong;
We shall more than conquerors be,
If we trust, O Lord, in Thee!
3 No surrender! then at last,
All our conflicts overpast,
Glad will be our welcoming
To the city of the King.
Forward, then! fall into line!
Bright the conqueror’s crown will shine;
Storm the camp of sin and wrong,
Sweet will be the victor’s song.
No surrender! then at last,
All our conflicts overpast,
Glad will be our welcoming
To the city of the King.

Dear to every Christian heart;
How we long, yet more and more,
Christ to meet and never part;
But the Savior bids us rest
On His promise sweet and true,
In My Father’s house on high
I’ll prepare a place for you.
Refrain:
There are mansions in the sky
For the Christian brave and true;
In My Father’s house on high
I’ll prepare a place for you.

Then to enter home above,
Where there’s nothing to defile,
All is brightened by His love;
Oh, to be with Jesus there,
Better far than earthly friends,
Sweetest rest forever share,
Blessed rest, it never ends. [Refrain]
3 But while left upon time’s shore,
Let us work with all our might,
For we know ’twill soon be o’er,
There for us ’twill all be bright;
Not the light of sun or stars,
But the Lord Himself the light;
No more death, nor naught that mars
When our faith is changed to sight. [Refrain] Used With Tune: RAHWAY Text Sources: Triumphant Songs No. 4 by Edwin O. Excell (Chicago: E. O. Excell, 1894)

The Open Fountain
Author: A. T. McElroy Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: In the Bible we are told Refrain First Line: There’s a fountain opened wide Lyrics: 1 In the Bible we are told
By the prophets wise of old
Of a fountain opened wide
In our blessèd Savior’s side.
To this fountain you may go,
For its waters freely flow;
It will wash you from your sin,
Make you clean without, within.
Refrain:
There’s a fountain opened wide
In our Savior’s wounded side;
To this fountain come today,
It will wash your sins away.
2 Hear, O hear Him sweetly say,
"To this fountain come today;
It will give you liberty,
From your idols set you free.
Evil spirits He’ll cast out,
Cleanse your heart from every doubt;
Why not come and be made free?
It is open wide for thee." [Refrain]
3 I’m so glad that I’ve plunged in,
Been made free from every sin,
Daily walking in the light,
Bound to win in every fight.
Having fellowship so sweet,
Sitting low at Jesus’ feet,
In this way I mean to stand,
Till I reach the glory land. [Refrain]

The Bliss Of One Sweet Hour
Author: Fanny Crosby Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O the bliss of one sweet hour Refrain First Line: O the bliss of one sweet hour Lyrics: 1 O the bliss of one sweet hour
When the heart forgets its care,
And the gently falling shower
Brings the joy of answered prayer;
O the happy, happy tears
Bursting forth like gems of light,
While the Father’s smile appears
As they sparkle warm and bright.
Refrain:
O the bliss of one sweet hour
When the heart forgets its care,
And the gently falling shower
Brings the joy of answered prayer.
2 When our songs of rapture swell,
And our souls in Christ are one,
When we meet His love to tell,
O ’tis Heaven on earth begun;
And we sigh and long to stay
With the friends we hold so dear,
But the moment glide away—
And our call they will not hear. [Refrain]
3 There’ll be more of rapture still
Than the heart has ever known
When we climb the towering hill
Leading upward to the throne;
Then beyond this fleeting shore,
And the stormy billows’ foam,
With the millions gone before
We shall meet and rest at home. [Refrain]

The Bliss Of One Sweet Hour
Children, Lo, The Days Are Here
Author: Amelia Y. Cole Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Children, lo, the days are here
Of the joyous Christmas cheer!
Listen, how each sweet chime swells
From the swiftly clashing bells;
Bells that peal along the morn
Of the day when Christ was born.
He, the Life, the Truth, the Way,
Once in Bethlehem’s manger lay.
Near the herdsmen and their kine—
He, the heavenly, the divine;
Showing that the lowliest heart
May with Him have lot and part.
2 Guided by His sacred star,
Came the wise men from afar;
Royal gifts their hands unfold,
Myrrh and frankincense and gold;
Glorious grew that stable dim,
When they knelt and worshipped Him.
While your hearts are filled with love,
This divinest tale above,
There are some in lonely ways,
In these happy Christmas days,
Earthly shadows round them fall,
Yet the Father loves them all.
3 Tell them in your sweetest song
"To the Father you belong;
Love is waiting at your door,
Waiting now and evermore;
Still for you the star doth glow,
Flaming over night and snow.
In the beauty of its ray
Clouds and darkness flee away;
Love and joy are in its light,
Fadeless, deathless, ever bright;
Let no fear your hearts appall;
God, the Father, loveth all." Used With Tune: SONG OF CHRISTMAS
Children, Lo, The Days Are Here
