The Sands of Time Are Sinking

Author: Anne R. Cousin Appears in 314 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:12 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking, The dawn of heaven breaks; The summer morn I've sighed for, The fair, sweet morn awakes: Dark, dark hath been the midnight, But day-spring is at hand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 2 O Christ, He is the fountain, The deep, sweet well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted, More deep I'll drink above: There to an ocean fulness His mercy doth expand, And glory, glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 3 O, I am my Beloved's, And my Beloved's mine! He brings a poor vile sinner Into His "house of wine." I stand upon His merit, I know no other stand, No e'en where glory dwelleth In Emmanuel's land. 4 The Bride eyes not her garment, But her dear Bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory But on my King of grace. Not at the crown He giveth But on His piercèd hand, The Lamb is all the glory Of Emmanuel's land. Amen. Topics: Adoration; Adoration Used With Tune: [The sands of time are sinking]

Nearer home, nearer home

Author: Anon. Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:11 First Line: O'er the hill the sun is setting Lyrics: 1 O'er the hill the sun is setting, And the eve is drawing on; Slowly drops the gentle twilight, For another day is gone. Gone for aye, its race is over, Soon the darker shades will come; Still 'tis sweet to know at even, We are one day nearer home. Chorus: Nearer home, nearer home, Nearer to our home on high, To the green fields and the fountains Of the land beyond the sky. 2 One day nearer, sings the sailor, As he glides the waters o'er, While the light is softly dying, On his distant native shore. Thus the Christian on Life's ocean, As his light boat cuts the foam, In the evening cries with rapture, "I am one day nearer home!" [Chorus] 3 Worn and weary, oft the pilgrim Hails the setting of the sun; For the goal is one day nearer, And his journey nearer done. Thus we feel, when o'er Life's desert, Heart and sandals worn we roam; As the twilight gathers o'er us, We are one day nearer home. [Chorus] 4 Nearer home! yes, one day nearer To our Father's house on high, To the green fields and the fountains, Of the land beyond the sky; For the heavens grow brighter o'er us, And the lamps hang in the dome, And our tents are pitched still closer, For we're one day nearer home. [Chorus] Topics: Bible Songs Special Selections Used With Tune: NEARER HOME

Author: Cecil Arthur Spring-Rice (1859-1918) Meter: 13.13.13.13.13.13 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: Romans 13:1-10 Lyrics: 1 I vow to thee, my country, all earthly things above, entire and whole and perfect, the service of my love: the love that asks no question, the love that stands the test, that lays upon the altar the dearest and the best; the love that never falters, the love that pays the price, the love that makes undaunted the final sacrifice. 2 And there's another country I've heard of long ago, most dear to them that love her, most great to them that know; we may not count her armies, we may not see her King; her fortress is a faithful heart, her pride is suffering; and soul by soul and silently her shining bounds increase, and her ways are ways of gentleness and all her paths are peace.
