Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending

Author: Charles Wesley; John Cennick; Martin Madan Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 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! God appears on earth to reign. 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him, robed in dreadful majesty; those who set at naught and sold him, pierced, and nailed him to the tree, deeply wailing, deeply wailing, shall the true Messiah see. 3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain, heav'n and earth, shall flee away; all who hate him must, confounded, hear the trump proclaim the day: Come to judgment! Come to judgment! Come to judgment, come away! 4 Now Redemption, long expected, see in solemn pomp appear! All his saints, by man rejected, now shall meet him in the air. Alleluia! Alleluia! See the day of God appear! 5 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; alleluia! come, Lord, come.

To a life of love and action Help us rise and pledge our word. 2 Lead your people into freedom, From despair your world release That, redeemed from war and hatred, All may come and go in peace. Show us how, through care and goodness, Fear will die and hope increase. 3 All that kills abundant living, Let it from the earth be banned: Pride of status, race, or schooling, Dogmas that obscure your plan. In our common quest for justice May we hallow life's brief span. 4 You, creator God, have written Your great name on humankind; For our growing in your likeness Bring the life of Christ to mind, That by our response and service Earth its destiny may find.

Sing, My Tongue, the Savior's Glory

Author: Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274; Edward Caswall Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sing, my tongue, the Savior’s glory, Of His flesh the mystery sing, Of the blood, all price exceeding, Shed by our immortal king, Destined, for the world’s redemption, From a noble womb to spring. 2. Of a pure and spotless virgin, Born for us, His love to show, He, as man, with man conversing, Stayed, the seeds of truth to sow; Then He closed in wondrous fashion, This His life on earth below. 3. On the night of that last supper, Seated with His chosen band, He, the paschal victim eating, First fulfills the law’s command; Then as food to all His brethren Gives Himself with His own hand. 4. Christ, the Word made flesh, by speaking, Earthly bread to flesh He turns; Wine becomes His blood so precious— Unconceived in human terms! Hearts sincere perceive this marvel; Faith its lessons quickly learns. 5. Down in adoration falling, This great sacrament we hail; Over ancient forms of worship Newer rites of grace prevail; Faith tells us that Christ is present When our human senses fail. 6. To the everlasting Father, And the Son who made us free, And the Spirit, God proceeding, From them each eternally, Be salvation, honor, blessing, Might and endless majesty. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS (Webbe) Text Sources: Translation in Lyra Catholica, 1849
