Mighty God, While Angels Bless Thee
Author: Robert Robinson; R. W. Dale Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 286 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:9 Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless thee,
may a mortal sing thy name?
Lord of earth as well as angels,
thou art ev'ry creature’s theme;
Lord of ev'ry land and nation,
Ancient of Eternal Days,
sounded through the wide creation
be thy just and endless praise.
2 For the grandeur of your nature,
grand beyond a seraph’s thought;
for the wonders of creation,
works with skill and kindness wrought;
for thy providence that gtoverns
through thine empire's wide domain,
wings an angel, guides a sparrow:
blessed by thy gentle reign.
4 But thy rich, thy free redemption,
dark through brightness all along;
thought is poor, and poor expression:
who dare sing that wondrous song?
Brightness of the Father’s glory,
shall thy praise unuttered lie?
Break, my tongue, such guilty silence;
sing the Lord who came to die.
4 From the highest throne of glory
to the cross of deepest woe,
all to ransom guilty captives!
Flow my praise, forever flow
Go, return, immortal Savior;
leave thy footstool, claim thy throne;
thence return, and reign forever;
be the kingdom all thine own!

cleave the skies with shouts of praise;
sing to him who found the ransom,
Ancient of eternal days,
God of God, the Word incarnate,
whom the heav'n of heav'n obeys.

formed the seas, or built the sky,
love eternal, free and boundless,
moved the Lord of life to die,
fore-ordained the Prince of princes
for the throne of Calvary.

see him all his life-blood pour!
There he wins our full salvation,
dies that we may die no more;
then arising, lives for ever,
reigning where he was before.

stands his sapphire throne, all bright,
midst unending alleluias
bursting from the saints in light;
Sion's people tell his praises,
victor after hard-won fight.

sweep the string and pour the lay;
let the earth proclaim his wonders,
King of that celestial day;
he the Lamb once slain is worthy,
who was dead, and lives for ay.

with angels round thy throne at last. Topics: Protection; Redemption and Salvation; The Pilgrim Community; Year B Christ the King; Year B Epiphany 2; Year B Proper 24; Year C Second Sunday Before Lent; Years A, B, and C Ascension Day Used With Tune: SOLOTHURN

When the King Shall Come Again
Author: Christopher Idle (1938-) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:9-10 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again,

earth no longer in decay,
hope no more frustrated;
this is God's redemption day
longingly awaited.

fresh from God's creation;
plants and flowers and sweetest fruit
join the celebration;

mountains, greet the morning!
3 Strengthen feeble hands and knees;
fainting hearts, be cheerful!
God who comes for such as these,
seeks and saves the fearful.
Deaf ears hear the silent tongues
sing away their weeping;
blind eyes see the lifeless ones
walking, running, leaping!
4 There God's highway shall be seen
where no roaring lion,
nothing evil or unclean
walks the road to Zion:
ransomed people, homeward bound
all your praises voicing,
see your Lord with glory crowned,
share in his rejoicing! Topics: Advent; Healing; Reign of Christ; Salvation/Redemption Used With Tune: TEMPUS ADEST FLORIDUM

He's Gone, the Spotless Soul Is Gone
Appears in 17 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:10 Refrain First Line: Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna to the Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 He's gone, the spotless soul is gone,
Triumphant to his place above;
The prison walls are broken down,
The angels speed his swift remove;
And shouting on their wings he flies,
And gains his rest in Paradise.
Chorus:
Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna to the Lamb of God,
Glory, glory, let us sing,
Grateful honors to our King,
Hosanna! hosanna! hosanna to the Lamb of God!
2 Saved by the merits of his Lord,
Glory and praise to Christ he gives;
Yet still his merciful reward
According to his works receives,
And with the bliss he sowed below,
His bliss eternally shall grow. [Chorus]
3 Father, to us vouchsafe the grace
Which bro't our friend victorious thro';
Let us his shining footsteps trace;
Let us his steadfast faith pursue;
Follow this follower of the Lamb,
And conquer all thro' Jesus' name. [Chorus] Topics: Book One: Hymns, Songs, Chorales; Heaven Inhabitants of Used With Tune: HOSANNA Text Sources: Harmonia Sacra, 1847

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Daniel 7:9-10 Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks in upon our darkness,
splendour bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the law and prophets meet:
Christ, with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
we like Peter find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless. Topics: Transfiguration Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN
