"Christ is near," we hear it say. "Cast away the works of darkness, All you children of the day!" 2 Startled at the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, its sun, all sloth dispelling, Shines upon the morning skies. 3 See, the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heav'n. Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all, to be forgiv'n; 4 So, when next he comes in glory And the world is wrapped in fear, He will shield us with his mercy And with words of love draw near. 5 Honor, glory, might, dominion To the Father and the Son With the everliving Spirit While eternal ages run!

Thou dost reign on high

Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 433 hymnals Topics: Christ Second Coming and Judgment of Lyrics: 1 Thou didst reign on high With a kingly crown, Yet thou camest to earth for me, And in Bethlehem's home Was there found no room For thy holy nativity: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang When the angels sang, Proclaiming thy royal degree; But of lowly birth Didst thou come to earth, And in great humility: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 3 The foxes found rest, And the birds their nest, In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, With the living word That should set thy people free; But with mocking scorn, And with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary: O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for thee. 5 When heav'n's arches shall ring, And her choirs shall sing, At thy coming to victory, Let thy voice call me home, Saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When thou comest and callest for me. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Used With Tune: MARGARET

Soon will the heavenly Bridegroom come

Author: J. Walther Appears in 20 hymnals Topics: Second Coming of Christ Lyrics: 1 Soon will the heavenly Bridegroom come; Ye wedding-guests, draw near,And slumber not in sin when He, The Son of God, is here. With lamps alight and oil in store, let every guest advance, Nor shrink ashamed in trembling awe From His bright countenance. 2 Come, let us haste to meet our Lord, And hail Him with delight, Who saved us by His precious blood And sorrows infinite: Beside Him all the patriarchs old And holy prophets stand, The glorious apostolic choir, The noble martyr-band. 3 As brethren dear they welcome us, And lead us to the throne, Where angels bow their veiléd heads Before the Three in One, Where we, with all the saints of Christ, A white-robed multitude, Shall praise the ascended Lord, who deigns To wear our flesh and blood. 4 His gracious hand will ope for us The gates of paradise, And spread the glories of His heaven Before our dazzled eyes: Our lot will be for aye to share His reign of peace above, And drink with unexhausted joy The river of His love.

O Holy Father, who in tender love

Author: Bp. E. H. Bickersteth, 1825-1906 Appears in 7 hymnals Topics: Advent Second Coming of Christ Lyrics: 1 O Holy Father, who in tender love Didst give Thine only Son for us to die, The while He pleads at Thy right hand above, We in One Spirit now with faith draw nigh, And, as we eat this Bread and drink this Wine, Plead His once offered Sacrifice Divine. 2 We are not worthy to be called Thy sons, Nor gather up the fragments of Thy feast; Yet look on us, Thy sorrowing contrite ones, On us in Him our Advocate and Priest, Whose robe is fringed with mercy's golden bells, Whose breastplate fathomless compassion tells. 3 O hear us, For Thou always hearest Him; Behold us sprinkled with His precious blood; And from between the shadowing cherubim Shine forth, and grant us in this heavenly food Foretastes of coming glory, and meanwhile A Father's blessing and a Father's smile. 4 Nor only, Father, in Thy presence here Low at Thy footstool for ourselves we pray, But for the loved ones to our hearts most near At home or toiling in far lands away; O guard them, guide them, comfort and befriend, And keep them Thine unfaltering to the end. 5 And, Father, ere we leave Thy mercy-throne, Bound by these sacred pledges, yet most free, We give our hearts, and not our hearts alone, But all we are and all we have to thee; Glad free-will offerings all our pilgrim days, Hereafter an eternity of praise.
