Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation

And Your fullest benediction Shed within its walls alway. 3 Here bestow to all Your servants What they ask of You to gain, What they gain from You forever With the blessèd to retain, And hereafter in Your glory Evermore with You to reign. 4 Laud and honor to the Father, Laud and honor to the Son, Laud and honor to the Spirit, Ever Three and ever one; One in might and one in glory While unending ages run.

Through The Night Of Doubt And Sorrow

Author: B. S. Ingemann Appears in 317 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thro the night of doubt and sorrow Onward goes the pilgrim band, Singing songs of expectation, Marching to the Promised Land. Clear before us, thro the darkness, Gleams and burns the guiding light. Brother clasps the hand of brother, Stepping fearless through the night. 2 One the light of God’s own presence, O’er His ransomed people shed, Chasing far the gloom and terror, Bright'ning all the path we tread: One the object of our journey, One the faith which never tires, One the earnest looking forward, One the hope our God inspires. 3 One the strain that lips of thousands Lift as from the heart of one; One the conflict, one the peril, One the march in God begun: One the gladness of rejoicing On the far eternal shore, Where the One Almighty Father Reigns in love for evermore. 4 Onward therefore, pilgrim brothers? Onward, with the cross our aid! Bear its shame, and fight its battle, Till we rest beneath its shade! Soon shall come the great awaking, Soon, the rending of the tomb, Then the scatt'ring of all shadows, And the end of toil and gloom.

Lo, He Comes with Clouds Descending

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 768 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo, He comes with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train: Alleluia! alleluia!

See the day of God appear. 4 Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Savior, take the pow'r and glory, Claim the kingdom for Thine own: O, come quickly, O, come quickly! Everlasting God, come down. Amen. Topics: Jesus Christ Second Coming; Judgment Used With Tune: [Lo, He comes with clouds descending]
