When the King Shall Come Again
Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:2-6 Lyrics: 1 When the King shall come again,
all his pow'r revealing,
splendor shall announce his reign,
life and joy and healing,
earth no longer in decay,
hope no more frustrated.
This is God's redemption day
longingly awaited.
2 In the desert trees take root,
fresh from his creation;
plants and flow'rs and sweetest fruit
join the celebration.
Rivers spring up from the earth,
barren lands adorning.
Valleys, this is your new birth;
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 Used With Tune: GAUDEAMUS PARITER
When the King Shall Come Again
How Clear Is Our Vocation, Lord
Author: Fred Pratt Green Meter: 8.6.7.7.6.6 Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:3 Lyrics: 1 How clear is our vocation, Lord,
when once we heed your call:
to live according to your word,
and daily learn, refreshed, restored
that you are Lord of all,
and will not let us fall.
2 But if, forgetful, we should find
your yoke is hard to bear,
if worldly pressures fray the mind,
and love itself cannot unwind
its tangled skein of care:
our inward life repair.
3 We marvel how your saints become
in hindrances more sure;
whose joyful virtues put to shame
the casual way we wear your name,
and by our faults obscure
your power to cleanse and cure.
4 In what you give us, Lord, to do,
together or alone,
in old routines or ventures new,
may we not cease to look to you,
the cross you hung upon--
all you endeavored done. Topics: God in Society Work and Leisure; Anxiety; Church Ministry and Ministers; Labor Used With Tune: REPTON

All You Who Seek a Comfort Sure
Author: Edwad Caswall, 1814-1878 Appears in 18 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:1-6 Lyrics: 1 All you who seek a comfort sure
In sadness and distress,
Whatever sorrow burdens you,
Whatever griefs oppress:
When Jesus gave himself for us
And died upon the tree,
His heart was pierced for love of us;
He died to set us free.
2 Now hear him as he speaks to us
Those words for ever blest:
"All you who labor, come to me,
And I will give you rest."
O heart adored by saints on high,
And hope of sinners here,
We place our ev'ry trust in you
And lift to you our prayer. Topics: Comfort/Consolation; Healing; Sacraments/Rites Reconciliation; Order of Christian Funerals Funeral Liturgy; Sacred Heart Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD Text Sources: Latin, 18th C.

We Come as Guests Invited
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith, 1926- Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 15 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:10 Lyrics: 1 We come as guests invited
when Jesus bids us dine,
his friends on earth united
to share the bread and wine;
the bread of life is broken,
the wine is freely poured
for us, in solemn token
of Christ our dying Lord.
2 We eat and drink, receiving
from Christ the grace we need,
and in our hearts believing
on him by faith we feed;
with wonder and thanksgiving
for love that knows no end,
we find in Jesus living
our ever-present friend.
3 One bread is ours for sharing,
one single fruitful vine,
our fellowship declaring
renewed in bread and wine:
renewed, sustained, and given
by token, sign, and word,
the pledge and seal of heaven,
the love of Christ our Lord.

Meter: Irregular Appears in 10 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 11:5 First Line: Sages of ancient letter'd times! Lyrics: 1 Sages of ancient letter'd times!
In ev'ry age and diff'rent climes,
For wisdom fam'd among mankind,
Withdraw your thinly scatter'd rays;
Before the broad o'er pow'ring blaze,
Of the supreme eternal mind.
2 Mercy's great year, in heaven is roll'd,
By seers succeeding aeers foretold,
Was now with solemn pomp unseal'd,
Light of the world, Messiah came,
In his almighty Father's name,
And immortality reveal'd.
3 Fill'd with his Father's strength, he taught;
The dumb in rapture speak their thought,
The lame man bounding like the roe:
The blind looks up to heav'n, stern death
Resigns his spoil; and from his breath
Fierce demons shrink to shades below.
4 O works of pow'r, O works of love,
Ehereal embassage to prove,
That ev'ry rising doubt control;
Earnest of love and pow'r more strong,
Which to the son of God belong,
To heal the mis'ries of the soul.
5 Great Prophet, Savior, worthy Thou
That ev'ry knee in homage bow,
From ev'ry mouth thy praise should flow;
All thy commands are mild and just,
Thy promise, faithful to our trust,
Will pardon, peace, and heav'n bestow.
