Lord, When Thy Kingdom Comes

Author: William D. MacLagan Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4114 Meter: 10.10.10.10 First Line: Lord, when Thy kingdom comes, remember me Lyrics: 1. Lord, when Thy kingdom comes, remember me; Thus spake the dying lips to dying ears; O faith, which in that darkest hour could see The promised glory of the far off years! 2. No kingly sign declares that glory now, No ray of hope lights up that awful hour; A thorny crown surrounds the bleeding brow, The hands are stretched in weakness, not in power. 3. Yet hear the word the dying Savior saith, Thou too shalt rest in paradise today; O words of love to answer words of faith! O words of hope for those who live to pray! 4. Lord, when with dying lips my prayer is said, Grant that in faith Thy kingdom I may see; And, thinking on Thy cross and bleeding head, May breathe my parting words, Remember me. 5. Remember me, but not my shame or sin; Thy cleansing blood hath washed them all away; Thy precious death for me did pardon win; Thy blood redeemed me in that awful day. 6. Remember me, yet how canst Thou forget What pain and anguish I have caused to Thee, The cross, the agony, the bloody sweat, And all the sorrow Thou didst bear for me? 7. Remember me, and, ere I pass away, Speak Thou th’assuring word that sets us free, And make Thy promise to my heart, Today Thou too shalt rest in paradise with Me.

Thus spake the dying lips to dying ears; O faith, which in that darkest hour could see the promised glory of the far-off years! 2 No kingly sign declares that glory now, no ray of hope lights up that awful hour; a thorny crown surrounds the bleeding brow, the hands are stretched in weakness, not in power. 3 Hark! Through the gloom the dying Saviour saith, 'thou too shalt rest in paradise today:' O words of love to answer words of faith! O words of hope for those who live to pray! 4 Lord, when with dying lips my prayer is said, grant that in faith thy Kingdom I may see; and, thinking on thy cross and bleeding head, may breathe my parting words, 'remember me.' *5 Remember me, but not my shame or sin; thy cleansing blood hath washed them all away; thy precious death for me did pardon win; thy blood redeemed me in that awful day. 6 Remember me; and, ere I pass away, speak thou the assuring word that sets us free, and make thy promise to my heart, 'Today thou too shalt rest in paradise with me.'

Arthur Sullivan

1842 - 1900 Person Name: Arthur Seymour Sullivan, 1842-1900 Harmonizer of "ELLERS" in CPWI Hymnal Arthur Seymour Sullivan (b Lambeth, London. England. 1842; d. Westminster, London, 1900) was born of an Italian mother and an Irish father who was an army bandmaster and a professor of music. Sullivan entered the Chapel Royal as a chorister in 1854. He was elected as the first Mendelssohn scholar in 1856, when he began his studies at the Royal Academy of Music in London. He also studied at the Leipzig Conservatory (1858-1861) and in 1866 was appointed professor of composition at the Royal Academy of Music. Early in his career Sullivan composed oratorios and music for some Shakespeare plays. However, he is best known for writing the music for lyrics by William S. Gilbert, which produced popular operettas such as H.M.S. Pinafore (1878), The Pirates of Penzance (1879), The Mikado (1884), and Yeomen of the Guard (1888). These operettas satirized the court and everyday life in Victorian times. Although he composed some anthems, in the area of church music Sullivan is best remembered for his hymn tunes, written between 1867 and 1874 and published in The Hymnary (1872) and Church Hymns (1874), both of which he edited. He contributed hymns to A Hymnal Chiefly from The Book of Praise (1867) and to the Presbyterian collection Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship (1867). A complete collection of his hymns and arrangements was published posthumously as Hymn Tunes by Arthur Sullivan (1902). Sullivan steadfastly refused to grant permission to those who wished to make hymn tunes from the popular melodies in his operettas. Bert Polman

He was closely associated with the Bach Society and was organist for the first English performances of Bach’s St. Matthew Passion.

In 1882 he received an honorary Doctorate of Music from the Archbishop of Canterbury. He composed 30+ hymn tunes and some psalm chants, used by the Church of England. He died in London, England.
