The Sands of Time Are Sinking
Author: Mrs. A. R. Cousin Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #336 (1929) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Lyrics: 1. The sands of time are sinking,
The dawn of heaven breaks,
The summer morn I've sighed for,
The fair sweet morn awakes;
Dark, dark hat been the midnight,
But day-spring is at hand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
2. The King there in His beauty
Without a veil is seen;
It were a well-spent journey
Tho' seven deaths lay between:
The lamb with his fair army
Doth on Mount Zion stand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
3. O Christ, He is the Fountain
The deep sweet Well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted,
More deep I'll drink above:
There to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
And glory, glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land.
4. With mercy and with judgment
My web of time He wove,
And aye the dews of sorrow
Were lustered by His love:
I'll bless the hand that guided,
I'll bless the heart that planned,
When throned where glory dwelleth
In Emmanuel's land. Topics: The Future Life Death and Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: RUTHERFORD

Author: Anne R. Cousin; Samuel Rutherford, 1600-1661 Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #340 (2017) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking;
the dawn of heaven breaks;
the summer morn I've sighed for,
the fair sweet morn awakes;
dark, dark, hath been the midnight,
but dayspring is at hand,
and glory, glory dwelleth
in Emmanuel's land.
2 The King there in His beauty
without a veil is seen;
it were a well-spent journey,
though trials lay between:
the Lamb with His fair army
on Zion's mountain stands,
and glory, glory dwelleth
in Emmanuel's land.
3 O Christ, He is the Fountain,
the deep sweet Well of love!
The streams on earth I've tasted;
more deep I'll drink above:
there to an ocean fullness
His mercy doth expand,
and glory, glory dwelleth
in Emmanuel's land.
4 The bride eyes not her garment,
but her dear bridegroom's face;
I will not gaze at glory,
but on my King of grace;
not at the crown He giveth,
but on His piercèd hand;
the Lamb is all the glory
of Emmanuel's land.

A. R. Cousin
1824 - 1906 Person Name: Anne R. Cousin Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Author of "The Sands of Time Are Sinking" in Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) Cousin, Anne Ross, née Cundell, is the only daughter of David Ross Cundell, M.D., Leith, and is the widow of the Rev. William Cousin, late Minister of the Free Church of Melrose. She has contributed many poems to various periodicals; 7 hymns to The Service of Praise, 1865, edited by the Rev. J. H. Wilson, of Edinburgh; and 1 to the Psalms and Hymns for Divine Worship, 1866, the Hymnal of the English Presbyterian Church. Four of her hymns are included in the Scottish Presbyterian Hymnal, 1876. Her most popular hymn, "The sands of time are sinking," was first published in The Christian Treasury for 1857, and gives its title to the collected edition of her poems published in 1876, as Immanuel’s Land and other Pieces by A. R. C. This is a collection of 107 hymns and poems, many of which are very beautiful. In general they are, however, rather meditations than hymns suited for public worship. Of these the following, in addition to those annotated under their first lines, are in common use:—
1. King Eternal, King Immortal. Christmas.
2. O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head. Good Friday.
3. To Thee, and to Thy Christ, O God. Praise.
4. To thy father and thy mother. Filial Duty.
[Rev. J. Mearns, M.A.]
--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology (1907)

1. None but Christ; His merit hides me. None but Christ. From her Immanuel's Land, &c, 1876, into Laudes Domini, 1884, &c.
2. O! Christ, He is the Fountain. This begins with stanza iii. of "The sands of time are sinking," p. 264, ii.
3. Saviour, shed Thy sweetest [richest] blessing. On behalf of Missioriaries. Published in Wilson's Service of Praise, 1865.
4. When we reach our peaceful dwelling. Heaven Anticipated. In her Immanuel's Land, &c.
--John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)

Of these No. 4 appeared in J. H. Wilson's Songs of Zion, 1862; Nos. 1 and 3 in J. H. Wilson's Service of Praise, 1865 ; and No. 2 in her own Immanuel’s Land, 1876. Mrs. Cousin died at Edinburgh Dec. 6, 1906, in her 83rd year. [Rev. James Mearns, M.A.]

Small Church Music
Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Editors: Anne R. Cousin Description:
History
The SmallChurchMusic site was launched in 2006, growing out of the requests from those struggling
to provide suitable music for their services and meetings. Rev. Clyde McLennan was ordained in mid
1960’s and was a pastor in many small Australian country areas, and therefore was acutely aware of
this music problem. Having also been trained as a Pipe Organist, recordings on site (which are a subset
of the smallchurchmusic.com site) are all actually played by Clyde, and also include piano and piano
with organ versions.
About the Recordings All recordings are in MP3 format.
Churches all around the world use the recordings, with downloads averaging over 60,000 per
month.
The recordings normally have an introduction, several verses and a slowdown on the last verse.
Users are encouraged to use software: Audacity (http://www.audacityteam.org) or Song Surgeon (http://songsurgeon.com) to adjust the MP3 number of verses, tempo and pitch to suit their local needs.
Mobile App
