Author: Frederic W. H. Myers, 1843-1901 Hymnal: Common Praise #28 (2000) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Lyrics: 1 Hark what a sound, and too divine for hearing,
stirs on the earth and trembles in the air!
Is it the thunder of the Lord's appearing?
Is it the music of his people's prayer?
2 Surely he cometh, and a thousand voices
shout to the saints, and to the deaf are dumb;
surely he cometh, and the earth rejoices,
glad in his coming who hath sworn: I come!
3 This hath he done, and shall we not adore him?
This shall he do, and can we still despair?
come, let us quickly fling ourselves before him,
cast at his feet the burden of our care.
4 Yea through life, death, through sorrow and through sinning,
he shall suffice me, for he hath sufficed:
Christ is the end, for Christ was the beginning,
Christ the beginning, for the end is Christ. Topics: Advent; Advent I Year B; Advent I Year C; Proper 9 Year A; Proper 26 Year A Scripture: 1 Peter 5:7 Languages: English Tune Title: HIGHWOOD
