Lord, when thy Kingdom comes, remember me!

Author: William Dalrymple MacLagan, 1826-1910 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 'Lord, when thy kingdom comes, remember me!' Thus spake the dying lips to dying ears; O faith, which in that darkest hour could see the promised glory of the far-off years! 2 No kingly sign declares that glory now, no ray of hope lights up that awful hour; a thorny crown surrounds the bleeding brow, the hands are stretched in weakness, not in power. 3 Hark! Through the gloom the dying Saviour saith, 'thou too shalt rest in paradise today:' O words of love to answer words of faith! O words of hope for those who live to pray! 4 Lord, when with dying lips my prayer is said, grant that in faith thy Kingdom I may see; and, thinking on thy cross and bleeding head, may breathe my parting words, 'remember me.' *5 Remember me, but not my shame or sin; thy cleansing blood hath washed them all away; thy precious death for me did pardon win; thy blood redeemed me in that awful day. 6 Remember me; and, ere I pass away, speak thou the assuring word that sets us free, and make thy promise to my heart, 'Today thou too shalt rest in paradise with me.'

Come, risen Lord, and deign to be our guest

Author: George Wallace Briggs, 1875-1959 Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 48 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, risen Lord, and deign to be our guest; nay, let us be thy guests; the feast is thine; thyself at thine own board make manifest, in thine own sacrament of bread and wine. 2 We meet as in that upper room they met; thou at the table, blessing, yet dost stand: 'This is my body': so thou givest yet; faith still receives the cup as from thy hand. 3 One body we, one body who partake, one church united in communion blessed; one name we bear, one bread of life we break, with all thy saints on earth and saints at rest. 4 One with each other, Lord, for one in thee, who art one Saviour and one living Head; then open thou our eyes, that we may see; be known to us in breaking of the bread.

O Lord Our God

Author: Frances A. Winters Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: O Lord our God, whom all through life we praise Lyrics: 1 O Lord our God, whom all through life we praise, as year by year, days add to numbered days, with each we prove the wonders of your ways, while, still adoring, each new song we raise. 2 With thankful hearts your goodness we confess, our guide and help in gladness an distress. For life, light, love your holy name we bless; accept the gratitude our hearts express. 3 O God, be near in loneliness and need; from fear and doubting may our minds be freed. When losses come, your consolation speed; for strength and healing love, O Lord, we plead. 4 Our hope is founded in your saving grace. Now hope abides to share love ev'ry place; and hope to serve yet spurs our slowing pace, till, hope fulfilled, we see you face to face.

Through Death To Life

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The star is not extinguished when it sets Lyrics: 1 The star is not extinguished when it sets Upon the dull horizon; it but goes To shine in other skies, then re-appear In ours, as fresh as when it first arose. 2 The river is not lost, when, o’er the rock, It pours its flood into th’abyss below: Its scattered force re-gathering from the shock, It hastens onward, with yet fuller flow. 3 The bright sun dies not, when the shadowing orb Of the eclipsing moon obscures its ray: It still is shining on; and soon to us Will burst undimmed into the joy of day. 4 The lily dies not, when both flower and leaf Fade, and are strewed upon the chill sad ground: Gone down for shelter to its mother-earth, ’Twill rise, re-bloom, and shed its fragrance round. 5 The dewdrop dies not, when it leaves the flower, And passes upward on the beam of morn: It does but hide itself in light on high, To its loved flower at twilight to return. 6 The fine gold has not perished, when the flame Seizes upon it with consuming glow: In freshened splendor it comes forth anew, To sparkle on the monarch’s throne or brow. 7 Thus nothing dies, or only dies to live: Star, stream, sun, flower, the dew-drop, and the gold, Each goodly thing, instinct with buoyant hope, Hastes to put on its purer, finer mould. 8 Thus in the quiet joy of kindly trust, We bid each parting saint a brief farewell: Weeping, yet smiling, we commit their dust To the safe keeping of the silent cell. 9 Softly within that peaceful resting place, We lay their wearied limbs; and bid the clay Press lightly on them, till the night be past, And the far east give note of coming day. 10 The day of re-appearing! how it speeds! He who is true and faithful speaks the word. Then shall we ever be with those we love, Then shall we be for ever with the Lord. 11 The shout is heard; th’archangel’s voice goes forth; The trumpet sounds; the dead awake and sing; The living put on glory; one glad band, They hasten up to meet their coming king. 12 Short death and darkness! Endless life and light! Short dimming; endless shining in yon sphere, Where all is incorruptible and pure; The joy without the pain, the smile without the tear.
