All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me; thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Scripture: Daniel 7:9 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

It Came upon a Midnight Clear

Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 924 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Advent of; Jesus Christ Second Coming of; Peace Conflict and War; Reign of Christ Lyrics: 1 It came upon a midnight clear, that glorious song of old, from angels bending near the earth to touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, good will to all from heaven’s gracious King.” The world in solemn stillness lay, to hear the angels sing. 2 Still through the cloven skies they come, with peaceful wings unfurled, and still their heav’nly music floats o’er all the weary world. Above its sad and lowly plains they bend on hov’ring wing, and ever o’er its Babel sounds the blessed angels sing. 3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife, the world has suffered long; beneath the heav’nly hymn have rolled two thousand years of wrong, and warring humankind hears not the tidings which they bring. O hush the noise and cease your strife and hear the angels sing. 4 And you, beneath life's crushing load, whose forms are bending low, who toil along the climbing way with painful steps and slow: Look now! for glad and golden hours come swiftly on the wing. O rest beside the weary road, and hear the angels sing. 5 For lo, the days are hast’ning on, by prophet bards foretold, when with the ever-circling years comes round the age of gold, when peace shall over all the earth its ancient splendors fling, and all the world sends back the song which now the angels sing.

To the kingdom promised long

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: Second Advent Executive Judgment Lyrics: 1 To the kingdom promised long, With his shining angel throng, Righteous vengeance to fulfill, Recompense for good and ill, Adam's race from dust to call, Lo, He cometh, Judge of all! Adam's race from dust to call, Lo, He cometh, Judge of all. 2 He shall speak and earth shall hear; Rending rocks shall quake with fear, And the waking dead shall come From the silence of the tomb. Shaken heavens and shattered earth Then shall rise to second birth. Shaken heavens and shattered earth Then shall rise to second birth. 3 Then the glory to his own! Then the kingdom and the crown! Then the sinner's hope shall close; Then begin his final woes; Then he knocks, but knocks in vain, Who shall break his iron chain? Then he knocks, but knocks in vain, Who shall break his iron chain? 4 Earth is fleeing, fleeing fast, And its beauty fades at last; O beloved, then, awake, Bonds of carnal slumber break; Wake, beloved, watch and pray, While remains one hour of day! Wake, beloved, watch and pray, While remains one hour of day! 5 Judgment cometh; O beware! Judgment cometh; O prepare! Steadfast, steadfast let us stand, For the Judge is nigh at hand; Steadfast let us rest each night, Steadfast wake at morning light. Steadfast let us rest each night, Steadfast wake at morning light.
