Yonder, See The Lord Descending

Author: John A. Granade, 1770-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yonder, see the Lord descending, Hark! His chariot’s drawing near; Starry worlds before Him rending, Flaming troops do now appear. Heaven shaking, earth is quaking, Mountains fly before His face, See the dead their graves forsaking, Nature sinking in a blaze. 2 Now behold the shining conquerors, Rising from their dusty beds, Fly to meet their blessed Savior, Glittering crowns upon their heads; Hear them tell their pleasing story To their smiling, lovely king, Glory, glory, glory, glory, Glory is the song they sing. 3 Once an infant in a manger, There the Lord of glory lay; No place for that little stranger But upon the oxen’s hay; Now He’s crowned with a rainbow Brighter than a sardius stone; Now He comes—the Christian sees Him Seated on His great white throne.

[Refrain] 4 Thank you for the luscious fruitage – pines, bananas, plums and pears, coconuts and pomegranates – distilled sweetness of the years. [Refrain] 5 Bless these tokens we now offer in your holy church today; may they help us to remember your great love and care alway.
