He wants not friends that hath thy love
Author: Richard Baxter, 1615-1691 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 Lyrics: 1 He wants not friends that hath thy love,
and may converse and walk with thee,
and with thy saints here and above,
with whom for ever I must be.
2 In the blest fellowship of saints
is wisdom, safety, and delight;
and when my heart declines and faints,
it’s raisèd by their heat and light.
3 As for my friends, they are not lost;
the several vessels of thy fleet,
though parted now, by tempests tossed,
shall safely in the haven meet.
4 Still we are centred all in thee,
members, though distant, of one Head;
in the same family we be,
by the same faith and spirit led.
5 Before thy throne we daily meet
as joint-petitioners to thee;
in spirit we each other greet,
and shall again each other see.
6 The heavenly hosts, world without end,
shall be my company above;
and thou, my best and surest Friend,
who shall divide me from thy love? Used With Tune: CAMERONIAN MIDNIGHT HYMN

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 132 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Lyrics: 1 He is risen, he is risen!
Tell it with a joyful voice:
he has burst his three days' prison,
let the whole wide earth rejoice.
Death is conquered, we are free,
Christ has won the victory.
2 Come with high and holy gladness,
sing our Lord's triumphant song:
not one touch of twilight sadness
dims his resurrection morn;
brightly dawns the radiant east,
brighter far our Easter feast.
3 He is risen, he is risen!
he has opened heaven's gate:
we are free from sin's dark prison,
risen to a holier state;
soon a brighter Easter beam
on our longing eyes shall stream. Topics: Death; Easter; Jesus Christ Lordship; Jesus Christ Priesthood and Intercession; Jesus Christ Resurrection; Liberation; Light; Resurrection; Sin Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER (NEANDER)

He Comes
Author: O. A. Pratt Meter: 8.8.8.4.8.8.8.4 Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:16 First Line: He comes! He comes with trumpet sound Lyrics: 1 He comes! He comes with trumpet sound,
To wake the slumb’ring nations ’round;
His pard’ning love no more is found—
He comes! He comes!
The dead in Christ shall then arise,
To meet their Savior in the skies,
No more a bleeding sacrifice—
He comes! He comes!
2 He comes no more in priestly dress;
Each eye shall see, each tongue confess;
To judge the world in righteousness
He comes! He comes!
The earth shall melt, the mountains quake,
The sea shall roar, the heavens shake,
The trumpet sounds, the dead awake—
He comes! He comes!
3 Dear sinners, what will be your fate?
The cry will be, “Too late, too late!
To enter in at heaven’s gate!”
He comes! He comes!
“Let rocks and mountains on us fall,”
In vain at mercy’s door they call;
Now doomed to swift destruction all—
He comes! He comes!
4 His loved, His own all hear His voice,
Obey His call, in Him rejoice;
The way of life has been their choice;
He comes! He comes!
Now to those mansions fair and bright
They take their everlasting flight;
There they shall walk with Him in white—
He comes! He comes!
5 Behold, what wonder greets mine eye—
Ten thousand angels in the sky!
The end has come, destruction’s nigh,
He comes! He comes!
Oh, fearful scene! creation groans,
While loud above the trumpet tones
What peals of joy! What piercing moans!

Tidings of peace as the Savior said;
Hands that have strengthened the weak and sad,
Will be waiting there.
Refrain:
Those beautiful portals will open wide,
Open wide, open wide;
Those beautiful portals will open wide
To welcome thee.
2 Feet that have traveled the narrow way,
Faltering not in the battle fray,
Treading the thorns in the heat of day,
Will be waiting there. [Refrain]
3 Hands that were folded before thy view,
Pressed by thine own in a promise true,
Sprinkled with tears as the morning dew,
Will be waiting there. [Refrain]
4 Waiting and beckoning on and on,
Resting from toil in that palace home,
Eager to know will the children come
To these mansions fair.
