Tomorrow Christ is coming
Author: Fred Kaan, 1929- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Scripture: John 6:35 Lyrics: 1 Tomorrow Christ is coming,
as yesterday he came;
a child is born this moment;
we do not know its name.
The world is full of darkness:
again there is no room;
the symbols of existence
are stable, cross and tomb.
2 Tomorrow will be Christmas,
the feast of love divine,
but, for the nameless millions,
the star will never shine.
Still is the census taken,
with people on the move;
new infants born in stables
are crying out for love.
3 There will be no tomorrows
for many a baby born;
Good Friday falls on Christmas
when life is sown as corn,
but Jesus Christ is risen
and comes again in bread
to still our deepest hunger
and raise us from the dead.
4 Our Lord becomes incarnate
in every human birth.
Created in God's image,
we must make peace on earth.
God will fulfil love's purpose,
and this shall be the sign:
we shall find Christ among us
as woman, child or man. Topics: Church Year Advent; Lament; Peace; Social Concerns / Social Justice; Suffering Used With Tune: LITTLE BADDOW

Lord Jesus Christ, Life-Giving Bread
Author: Johann Rist, 1607-67; Arthur T. Russell, 1806-74 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: John 6:33-35 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus Christ, life-giving Bread,
May I in grace possess You.
Let me with holy food be fed,
In hunger I address You.
Prepare me well for You, O Lord,
And, humbly by my prayer implored,
Give me Your grace and mercy.
2 To pastures green, Lord, safely guide,
To restful waters lead me;
Your table well for me provide,
Your wounded hand now feed me.
Though weary, sinful, sick, and weak,
Refuge in You alone I seek,
To share Your cup of healing.
3 O bread of heav'n, my soul's delight,
For full and free remission
I come with prayer before Your sight
In sorrow and contrition.
Your rightousness, Lord, cover me
That I receive You worthily,
Assured of Your full pardon.
4 I do not merit favor, Lord,
My weight of sin would break me;
In all my guilty heart's discord,
O Lord, do not forsake me.
In my distress this comforts me
That You receive me graciously,
O Christ, my Lord of mercy!

With Thy hand of mercy,
Make each throbbing heartbeat
Feel Thy pow'r divine.

I will doubt Thee never,
O Lord, please cleanse me, my dear Savior,
Make me wholly Thine.
2 Mold, mold me, dear Savior;
As I bow before Thee,
Prostrate, prostrate and helpless,
Make my heart Thy throne.
O purge my dross with hyssop;
Burn me with Thy fire;
O Lord, please make, make me and use me;
Ever all Thine own.
3 Feed, feed me, dear Jesus,
From Thy holy table,
Rain, rain bread from heaven,
Let my cup o'erflow.
O naked, sick and hungry;
Poor and weak and lonely,
O Lord, please feed, feed me, Lord Jesus,
Till I want no more.
4 Guide, guide me, Jehovah,
Through this vale of sorrow,
I am safe forever,
Trusting in Thy love.
O bear me through the current;
O'er the chilly Jordan,
O Lord, please lead me, my dear Savior,
To my home above. Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Christian Life, Discipleship; Mercy of Jesus Christ; Service Music Prayer Used With Tune: TOUCH ME
