Oh, Put on Thy Beautiful Garments

Author: Wm. G. Schell; Clara McAlister Brooks Meter: 9.8.9.8.9.9.9.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Oh, put on thy beautiful garments, Fair Zion, thou home of the blest; Ere long we shall see thee transported To yonder fair haven of rest. The day of this world is declining, The forces of sin are combining, The faithful our Lord is refining, And soon shall the Bridegroom appear. 2 Oh, put on thy beautiful garments, Fair city of peace from above; ’Tis granted that saints shall array thee In righteousness, purity, love. The earth and her pillars are quaking, The powers of heaven are shaking, The light of the evening is breaking, And soon shall the Bridegroom appear. 3 Oh, put on thy beautiful garments, For now is the evening of time; The darkness of earth far is driven By light of the gospel sublime. A voice comes from heaven, oh, hear it, Let children of Zion all cheer it, Unite in one body and spirit, For soon shall the Bridegroom appear. 4 Oh, put on thy beautiful garments, Thy glory let shine from on high, That kings may behold its fair gleaming, And all who in darkness still lie. For God hath thy foes all subjected, And round thee His bulwarks erected, Oh, let Him in thee be perfected, And soon shall the Bridegroom appear. Used With Tune: [Oh, Put on Thy Beautiful Garments]

Clara McAlister Brooks

1882 - 1980 Person Name: Clara M. Brooks Author of "Oh, Put on Thy Beautiful Garments" in Timeless Truths Birth: Oct. 9, 1882, Parke County, Indiana, USA Death: Mar. 20, 1980, Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida, USA Clara McAlister Brooks was one of our early songwriters and four of her pieces are in the current hymnal. From the earliest days of the movement we have had women prominent in all forms of our ministry—missionaries, evangelists, teachers, pastors, and God has honored their sacrificial labors. For that reason we can stand in amazement when here, in the 1970s, such old-line denominations as the Episcopal church are being racked with controversy over whether the ordination of women is permissible. But before we gather Pharisaic robes about ourselves, perhaps we need to look candidly at the way in which we, too, succumbed to some of the cultural and prejudicial patterns of later decades! --www.whwomenclergy.org/articles/
