جرت الشمس إلى

Author: ناصيف اليازجي Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 جرت الشمس إلى منتهى عام مضى فتجارت أنفس لا نلاقيها هنا ثبتت في الخلد إذ أكملت هذا المدى وبقينا بعدها برهة — كم يا ترى 2 مثل خفق البرق إذ لاح لا يبقي أثر ركضت أيامنا هابطاتٍ بالبشر فانتشل أرواحنا رب من وادي الخطر كل ما تحت السما مثل حلم قد عبر 3 إذ قد استبقيتنا لنرى هذي السنه أحي بستانك من بركات محسنه أيها الشمس أطّلع وأنر ذي الأمكنه واجعل العام لنا من أحب الأزمنه 4 إقبل الشكر وكن غافرا ما سبقا وأفدنا بعدها كيف نحيا بالتقى بارك الكل وهب حب فاد مشفقا فعسى نحيا معا بعد في دار البقا Used With Tune: BENEVENTO

See the Gloomy Gathering Cloud

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1. See the gloomy gathering cloud Hanging o’er a sinful land! Sure the Lord proclaims aloud, Times of trouble are at hand: Happy they, who love His name! They shall always find Him near; Though the earth were wrapped in flame, They have no just cause for fear. 2. Hark! His voice in accents mild, O, how comforting and sweet! Speaks to every humble child, Pointing out a sure retreat! Come, and in My chambers hide, To My saints of old well known; There you safely may abide, Till the storm be overblown. 3. You have only to repose On My wisdom, love, and care; Where My wrath consumes my foes, Mercy shall My children spare: While they perish in the flood, You that bear My holy mark, Sprinkled with atoning blood, Shall be safe within the ark. 4. Sinners, see the ark prepared! Haste to enter while there’s room; Though the Lord His arm has bared, Mercy still retards your doom: Seek Him while there yet is hope, Ere the day of grace be past; Lest in wrath He give you up, And this call should prove your last.

'Tis a marvel in our eyes

Author: Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Tis a marvel in our eyes How the Lord rebukes the wise: Whom the builders would not own-- He is made the Corner-Stone! What seems naught, and men reject, Is before our God elect; Thus the Gospel's hidden store Pales the wit of earthly lore. 2 While the vain and wordly-wise For its beauty have no eyes, And in trust repose their stay That at last must all give way, Zion looks unto the Lord, And by faith leans on His Word: Joys in grade that will avail, When both heart and flesh shall fail. 3 Others may their virtues press, On attainments lay great stress; Zion knows of grace alone And the merits that atone, Doth an Only Name confess As her strength and righteousness: Christ, whom builders would not own, Is her precious Corner-stone.

Sion, Haste To Meet Thy King

Author: John H. Anketell Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Sion, haste to meet thy king, Psalms and glad hosannas sing, Strew thy palms, thy garments spread, For the Judge of quick and dead! 2 Meek, He rides upon the colt; God, who wields the thunderbolt, Lays His royal glory by In our flesh for man to die. 3 Enter now the temple gate, Where He stands in princely state; Join the children’s song of praise To the King of endless days. 4 For the Lord who comes with grace, Soon shall show His shining face; Christ, who for our sins atoned, Comes ’mid angel hosts enthroned. 5 Heavens shall vanish like a scroll, Sun and moons in darkness roll, When the dead the trumpet hear, When the judgment books appear. 6 On that day of doom and grace, Grant us with Thy saints a place, Save us from the realms of night, Clothe us with eternal light.
