My former hopes are fled
Author: Cowper Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 130 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 My former hopes are fled:
My terror now begins;
I feel, alas! that I am dead
In trespasses and sins.
2 Ah, whither shall I fly?
I hear the thunder roar:
The law proclaims destruction nigh,
And vengeance at the door.
3 When I review my ways,
I dread impending doom;
But hark! a friendly whisper says,
Flee from the wrath to come.
4 I see, or think I see,
A glimmering from afar,
A beam of day that shines for me,
To save me from despair.
5 Forerunner of the sun,
It marks the pilgrim's way;
I'll gaze upon it while I run,
And watch the rising day. Topics: The Christian System Condemnation; Trembling Solicitude

'Thy kingdom come!'– on bended knee
Author: Frederick Lucian Hosmer (1840-1929) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: 2 Peter 1:19 Lyrics: 1 'Thy kingdom come!'--on bended knee
the passing ages pray;
and faithful souls have yearned to see
on earth that kingdom's day.
2 But the slow watches of the night
not less to God belong;
and for the everlasting right
the silent stars are strong.
3 And lo, already on the hills
the flags of dawn appear;
gird up your loins, ye prophet souls,
proclaim the day is near:
4 The day in whose clear-shining light
all wrong shall stand revealed,
when justice shall be throned with might,
and every heart be healed:
5 When knowledge, hand in hand with peace,
shall walk the earth abroad,
the day of perfect righteousness,
the promised day of God. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Coming Again; Christian Year Advent; Justice and Peace; Kingdom of God Used With Tune: IRISH

Thou beamest forth in truth and light!
O Sovereign meek and lowly!
Thou root of Jesse, David’s Son,
My Lord and Savior, Thou hast won
My heart to serve Thee solely!
Thou art holy,
Fair and glorious, all victorious,
Rich in blessing,
Rule and might o'er all possessing.
2 Thou heavenly brightness! Light divine!
O deep within my heart now shine,
And make Thee there an altar!
Fill me with joy and strength to be
Thy member, ever joined to Thee
In love that cannot falter!
Toward Thee longing
Doth possess me; turn and bless me;
Here in sadness
Eye and heart long for Thy gladness!

O'er fear and doubt, o'er black despair prevailing,
Guiding our steps to Thine eternal day.

Thou hast revealed Thy will to mortal men,
Speaking to saints, to prophets, kings, and sages,
Who wrote the message with immortal pen.

To sinful men Thy justice and Thy grace;
And questing hearts that long for peace and healing
See Thy compassion in the Saviour's face.
4 To all the world the message Thou art sending,
To every land, to every race and clan;
And myriad tongues, in one great anthem blending,
Acclaim with joy Thy wondrous gift to man.
