He Comes to Us As One Unknown
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith (1926-); Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 7:24 Lyrics: 1 He comes to us as one unknown,
a breath unseen, unheard;
as though within a heart of stone,
or shriveled seed in darkness sown,
a pulse of being stirred.
2 He comes when souls in silence lie
and thoughts of day depart,
half-seen upon the inward eye,
a falling star across the sky
of night within the heart.
3 He comes to us in sound of seas,
the ocean's fume and foam;
yet small and still upon the breeze,
a wind that stirs the tops of trees,
a voice to call us home.
4 He comes in love as once he came
by flesh and blood and birth;
to bear within our mortal frame
a life, a death, a saving name
for every child of earth.
5 He comes in truth when faith is grown;
believed, obeyed, adored:
the Christ in all the Scriptures shown,
as yet unseen, but not unknown,
our Saviour and our Lord. Topics: Call and Vocation; Advent; Easter (third Sunday); Salvation/Redemption Used With Tune: LOBT GOTT, IHR CHRISTEN Text Sources: The Quest of the Historical Jesus, 1910

What Adam's Disobedience Cost
Author: Fred Pratt Green; Carol Bechtel Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 7 Lyrics: 1 What Adam’s disobedience cost,
let Holy Scripture say:
ourselves estranged, an Eden lost,
and then a judgment day: each day a judgment day.
2 An ark of mercy rode the flood,
but we, where waters swirled,
rebuilt, impatient of the good,
another fallen world: an unrepentant world.
3 A little child is Adam’s heir,
is Adam’s hope and Lord,
sing joyful carols everywhere,
that Eden is restored: in Jesus is restored.
4 Regained is Adam’s blessedness:
the angels sheathe their swords;
in joyful carols all confess
the kingdom is the Lord’s: the glory is the Lord’s!
5 Renewed, restored we look ahead
to glimpse that glorious day
when in the new Jerusalem
all griefs will pass away. “Amen. Hallelujah!” Topics: Biblical Names and Places Eden; Church Year Christmas; Fall and the Human Condition; God's Judgment; Jesus Christ King Used With Tune: DETROIT

Come into the Ark of safety
Author: F. E. B. Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Genesis 7:1 First Line: On time's wide waste of waters Lyrics: 1 On time's wide waste of waters
There floats a kindly bark;
O earth's lost sons and daughters,
It is Salvation's Ark!
The wreck of self will strand you
Before the voyage is o'er:
Salvation's Ark will land you
On heaven's peaceful shore.
Refrain:
Come into the Ark of safety,
Come in and be saved today;
The tempest may break tomorrow,
Come into the Ark today;
The tempest may break tomorrow,
Come into the Ark today.
2 O trust in self no longer,
For self will surely fail;
Temptations will grow stronger,
And evil will prevail.
Come, all thy fears abating,
Forsaking all thy sin;
While Mercy's Ark is waiting,
O haste to enter in. [Refrain]
3 Shall we be of the number
Who seek for souls to save;
Or shall we sink to slumber
On sin's delusive wave!
How dread would be the waking,
How fearful and how dark,
To find the tempest breaking,
And we outside the Ark! [Refrain]
4 Then come while hope is offered,
Thy coming shall be blest;
Eternal life is proffered
Within the Ark of rest.
The dove of peace shall hover
Above thee on thy way,
And God's own hands shall cover
And keep thee ev'ry day. [Refrain] Topics: Bible Songs Invitation Used With Tune: COME INTO THE ARK
