The Two Advents

Author: George W. Doane Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: He came not with His heav’nly crown, Lyrics: 1 He came not with His heav’nly crown, His scepter clad with power; His coming was in feebleness, The infant of an hour. A humble manger cradled first The virgin’s holy birth, And lowing herds companioned there The Lord of Heav’n and earth. 2 He came not in His robe of wrath, With arm outstretched to slay; But, on the darkling paths of earth, To pour celestial day, To guide in peace the wandering feet, The broken heart to bind; And bear upon the painful cross The sins of human kind. 3 And Thou hast borne them, Savior meek! And therefore unto Thee In humbleness and gratitude, Our hearts shall offered be; And greenly, as the festal bough That on Thy altar lies, Our souls, our bodies, all be Thine, A living sacrifice! 4 Yet once again Thy sign shall be Upon the heav’ns displayed, And earth and its inhabitants, Be terribly afraid; For not in weakness clad Thou com’st Our woes, our sins, to bear, But girt with all Thy Father’s might, His vengeance to declare. 5 The terrors of that awful day, Oh! who shall understand? Or who abide, when Thou in wrath Shall lift Thy holy hand? The earth shall quake, the sea shall roar, The sun in heav’n grow pale, But Thou hast sworn, and wilt not change, Thy faithful shall not fail! 6 Then grant us, Savior! so to pass Our time in trembling here, That when, upon the clouds of heav’n, Thy glory shall appear, Uplifting high our joyful heads, In triumph we may rise, And enter, with Thy angel train, Thy temple in the skies!

How Bright These Glorious Spirits Shine!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 159 hymnals First Line: How bright these glorious spirits shine Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats of everlasting day? Lo! these are they from suff'rings great who came to realms of light! and in the blood of Christ have washed those robes which shine so bright. 2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand before the throne on high, and serve the God they love, amidst the glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, tunes ev'ry mouth to sing: by day, by night, the sacred courts with glad hosannas ring. 3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, nor suns with scorching ray; God is their sun, whose cheering beams diffuse eternal day. The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne shall o'er them still preside, feed them with nourishment divine, and all their footsteps guide. 4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock where living streams appear; and God the Lord from ev'ry eye shall wipe off ev'ry tear. To him who sits upon the throne, the God whom we adore, and to the Lamb that once was slain, be glory evermore!

Author: Thomas H. Gill Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 76 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The glory of the spring how sweet, The new-born life how glad; What joy the happy earth to greet In new, bright raiment clad. Divine Redeemer, Thee I bless; I greet Thy going forth; I love Thee in the loveliness Of Thy renewed earth. 2 But O these wonders of Thy grace, These nobler works of Thine, These marvels sweeter far to trace, These new births more divine. These sinful souls Thou hallowest, These hearts Thou makest new, These mournful souls by Thee made blest, These faithless hearts made true. 3 This new-born glow of faith so strong, This bloom of love so fair, This new-born ecstasy of song, And fragrancy of prayer!

Author: John Mason Neale Appears in 68 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who by a star didst guide The wise men on their way, Until it came and stood beside The place where Jesus lay: Although by stars Thou dost not lead Thy servants now below, Thy Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go. 2 As yet we know Thee but in part, But still we trust Thy Word, That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord.
