Waiting, waiting when the Lord shall come?

When to the Lord we restore our talents,
Will He answer thee, “Well done”? [Refrain]

If in our hearts there is naught condemns us,
We shall have a glorious rest. [Refrain]

O God of Mercy, God of Might
Author: Godfrey Thring Meter: 8.8.8.6 Appears in 105 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:40 Lyrics: 1 O God of mercy, God of might,
in love and pity infinite,
teach us, as ever in thy sight,
to live our life to thee.
2 And thou who cam'st on earth to die,
that fallen man might live thereby,
O hear us, for to thee we cry
in hope, O Lord, to thee.
3 Teach us the lesson thou hast taught,
to feel for those thy blood hath bought;
that every word and deed and thought
may work a work for thee.
4 For they are brethren, far and wide,
since thou, O Lord, for them hast died;
then teach us, whatsoe'er betide,
to love them all in thee.
5 In sickness, sorrow, want, or care,
whate'er it be, 'tis ours to share;
may we, when help is needed, there
give help as unto thee.

O Lord, How Shall I Meet You
Author: Paul Gerhardt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 25:6 Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet you,
how welcome you aright?
Your people long to greet you,
my hope, my heart's delight!
O kindle, Lord, MostHoly,
your lamp within my breast
to do in spirit lowly
all that may please you best.
2 Love caused your incarnation,
love brought you down to me;
your thirst for my salvation
procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
that led you to embrace,
in love all love excelling,
our lost and fallen race!
3 Rejoice, then, you sad-hearted,
who sit in deepest gloom,
who mourn o'er joys departed
and tremble at your doom.
Despair not, he is near you,
yea, standing at the door,
who best can help and cheer you
and bids you weep no more.
4 Sin's debt, that fearful burden,
let not your soul distress;
your guilt the Lord will pardon
and cover by his grace.
He comes, for men procuring
the peace of sin forgiv'n,
for all God's sons securing
their heritage in heav'n.
