The Day Of Glory Bearing

Author: James G. Deck Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day of glory bearing, Its brightness far and near, The day of Christ’s appearing We now no longer fear; The day when we shall meet Him Triumphant in the sky, Believing hearts shall greet Him With songs of victory. 2 He, once a spotless victim, For us on Calvary bled; Jehovah did afflict Him, And bruise Him in our stead. To Him by grace united, We joy in Him alone; And now by faith, delighted, Behold Him on the throne. 3 There He is interceding, For all who on Him rest; And grace, from Him proceeding, Tells how in Him we’re blest. Soon will He come in glory, When all His saints He’ll raise, To chant their joyful story, In songs of loudest praise.

A Shout of Mighty Triumph

Author: George P. Grantham Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A shout of mighty triumph Through nature’s realm is heard, A shout which calls creation To hail th’Incarnate Word. Away with clouds and darkness! All hail, thrice blessèd morn; Sing out with joy, ye mortals, For Jesus Christ is born! 2. Is this, ye holy shepherds, The mighty newborn King? This Child, so sweet and gentle, Can He such rapture bring? O yes! He comes, the Savior Of sinful earth forlorn; Then shout with joy, ye mortals, For Jesus Christ is born! 3. The cruel, cruel foeman This Child shall overthrow; Full soon, the fierce destroyer, His Lord’s stern might shall know: Of all his boasted power Soon to be roughly shorn; Then shout with joy, ye mortals, For Jesus Christ is born! 4. But say, sweet virgin mother, The Child upon thy breast, Will He receive young children, And share with them His rest? O yes! He will with glory Both old and young adorn; Then shout with joy, ye mortals, For Jesus Christ is born! 5. Rejoice then, youths and maidens, Old men and children, too; Lift up your cheerful voices, With bliss and rapture true! Ring out, ye towers and steeples! Blow, trumpet, pipe and horn! Then shout with joy, ye mortals, For Jesus Christ is born! Used With Tune: [A shout of mighty triumph] Text Sources: Carols for Use in Church, by Richard R.

Christ Our Leader

Author: Robert F. Gordon Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: For Christ our Prince and Savior Lyrics: 1 For Christ our Prince and Savior, For truth and holiness, We wage a constant warfare, And onward boldly press; We brave the sternest conflict, By conscious strength inspired, Our hearts by fear unshaken, Our souls by courage fired. 2 The war we wage is bloodless, We fight not to destroy. The motto on our banner, Is "Pardon, Peace, and Joy"; We strive to free the captive, Now held by sin a slave, To cheer the faint and hopeless, And make the trembling brave. 3 But Christ hath all the honor, ’Tis He that makes us strong, The trophies of each conquest, To Him alone belong; And His shall be the triumph, The glory and renown, And His the praise exulting, And His the victor’s crown.
