A few More Years shall Roll

Author: Horatius Bonar Appears in 385 hymnals Topics: Church Festivals New Year Lyrics: 1 A few more years shall roll, A few more seasons come, And we shall be with those that rest, Asleep within the tomb. A few more suns shall set O'er these dark hills of time, And we shall be where suns are not, A far serener clime. 2 A few more storms shall beat On this wild, rocky shore, And we shall be where tempests cease, And surges swell no more. A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while, And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign; Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; O wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

Great is the Lord our God

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 303 hymnals Topics: Reformation Festival Lyrics: 1 Great is the Lord our God, And let His praise be great; He makes the Church His own abode, His most delightful seat, His most delightful seat. 2 In Zion God is known, A refuge in distress; How bright has His salvation shone Through all her palaces! Through all her palaces! 3 When kings against her joined, And saw the Lord was there, In wild confusion of the mind, They fled with hasty fear, They fled with hasty fear. 4 Oft have our fathers told, Our eyes have often seen, How well our God secures the fold Where His own sheep have been, Where His own sheep have been. 5 In every new distress We'll to His house repair; We'll call to mind His wondrous grace, And seek deliverance there, And seek deliverance there. Amen. Used With Tune: LUTHER
