Author: Edward H. Bickersteth Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:26 Lyrics: 1 Till he come! O let the words Linger on the trembling chords; Let the little while between In their golden light be seen; Let us think how heav'n and home Lie beyond that "Till he come." 2 When the weary ones we love Enter on their rest above, Seems the earth so poor and vast, All our life-joy overcast? Hush, be every murmur dumb: It is only till he come. 3 Clouds and conflicts round us press: Would we have one sorrow less? All the sharpness of the cross, All that tells the world is loss, Death and darkness, and the tomb, Only whisper "Till he come." 4 See, the feast of love is spread, Drink the wine, and break the bread: Sweet memorials,--till the Lord Call us round his heav'nly board; Some from earth, from glory some, Severed only till he come. Amen. Topics: The Church The Lord's Supper; Heaven Anticipated Used With Tune: AJALON (REDHEAD NO. 76)

The Judgment

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:26 First Line: He is coming, he is coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he came before, Wailing infant, born in weakness On a lowly stable floor: But upon his cloud of glory, In the crimson-tinted sky, Where we see the golden sunrise In the rosy distance lie. 2 He is coming, he is coming, Not in pain, and shame, and woe, With the thorn-crown on his forehead. And the blood-drops trickling slow; But with diadem upon him, And the sceptre in his hand, And the dead all ranged before him, Raised from death, hell, sea, and land. 3 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he wandered through All the hostile land of Judah, With his followers poor and few: But with all the holy angels Waiting round his judgment-seat, And the chosen twelve apostles Sitting crowned at his feet. 4 He is coming, he is coming; Let his lowly first estate, And his tender love, so teach us That in faith and hope we wait, Till in glory eastward burning, Our redemption draweth near; And we see the sign in heaven Of our Judge and Saviour dear.
