Come, Lord, and Tarry Not!
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and tarry not!
Bring the long-looked for day!
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?
2 Come, for your saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"
Do you not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans
With longing for your stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of decay.
4 Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded paradise,
Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin your reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to yourself,
Great King of Righteousness! Topics: Advent Season; Hope; New Creation; New Life; Perseverance; Redemption; Reign of God, Kingdom; Second Coming Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Give to the Winds Thy Fears
Author: John Wesley; Paul Gerhardt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 525 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears;
Hope and be undismayed;
God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears,
God shall lift up thy head.
2 Through waves, and clouds, and storms,
He gently clears thy way;
Wait thou His time; so shall this night
Soon end in joyous day.
3 Leave to His sovereign sway
To choose and to command;
So shalt thou, wondering, own His way,
How wise, how strong His hand!
4 Far, far above thy thought
His counsel shall appear,
When fully He the work hath wrought
That caused thy needless fear.
Amen. Topics: Assurance; Christ Guide; Commitment; Courage; Faith; Trust; Life in Christ Faith and Assurance Scripture: Psalm 34:4 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Far from My Heavenly Home
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 148 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Far from my heavenly home,
Far from my Father’s breast,
Fainting I cry, blest Spirit, come
And speed me to my rest.
2. Upon the willows long
My harp has silent hung:
How should I sing a cheerful song
Till Thou inspire my tongue?
3. My spirit homeward turns
And fain would thither flee;
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns,
When I remember thee.
4. To thee, to thee I press,
A dark and toilsome road;
When shall I pass the wilderness,
And reach the saint’s abode?
5. God of my life, be near;
On Thee my hopes I cast:
O guide me through the desert here,
And bring me home at last. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1834

Our Heavenly Father, Hear

Thy name be hallowed far and near;
To Thee all nations bow.

On earth be done in love
As saints and seraphim fulfill
Thy holy will above.

Forgive as we forgive.
4. From dark temptation’s power,
From Satan’s wiles, defend.
Deliver in the evil hour
And guide us to the end.

Glory and power divine;
The scepter, throne, and majesty
Of Heaven and earth are Thine. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Not all the blood of beasts
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 609 hymnals Topics: The Gospel Scripture: Hebrews 9:11-14 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
Not all the blood of beasts
Forever with the Lord!
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 638 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord!
Amen! so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
And immortality.
2 Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
3 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times, to faith's foreseeing eye,
The golden gates appear.
4 Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!
5 Then, then I feel that He,
Remembered or forgot,
The Lord, is never far from me,
Though I perceive Him not.
6 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.
