Christian Union
Author: Jane Borthwick Appears in 61 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:32 First Line: And is the time approaching Lyrics: 1 And is the time approaching,
By prophets long foretold,
When all shall dwell together,
One shepherd and one fold?
Shall every idol perish,
To moles and bats be thrown,
And every prayer be offered
To God in Christ alone?
2 Shall Jew and Gentile, meeting
From many a distant shore,
Around one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore?
Shall all that now divides us
Remove and pass away,
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaze of day?
3 Shall all that now unites us
More sweet and lasting prove,
A closer bond of union,
In a blest land of love?
Shall war be learned no longer,
Shall strife and tumult cease,
All earth his blessed kingdom,
The Lord and Prince of Peace?
4 O long-expected dawning,
Come with thy cheering ray!
When shall the morning brighten,
The shadows flee away?
O sweet anticipation!
It cheers the watchers on,
To pray, and hope, and labor,
Till the dark night be gone. Topics: Christ Prince of Peace; Church Missions of; Church Work of Used With Tune: MUNICH

Who is this so weak and helpless
Author: William Walsham How, 1823-1897 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:35 Lyrics: 1 Who is this so weak and helpless,
child of lowly Hebrew maid,
rudely in a stable sheltered,
coldly in a manger laid?
'Tis the Lord of all creation,
who this wondrous path hath trod;
he is God from everlasting,
and to everlasting God.
2 Who is this - a Man of Sorrows,
walking sadly life's hard way;
homeless, weary, sighing, weeping
over sin and Satan's sway?
'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour,
who beyond our mortal sight
now for us a place prepareth
free from grief and full of light.
3 Who is this - behold him raining
drops of blood upon the ground?
Who is this - despised, rejected,
mocked, insulted, beaten, bound?
'Tis our God, who gifts and graces
on his Church now poureth down;
all his faithful ones empowering
to partake in cross and crown.
4 Who is this that hangeth dying,
while the thieves on either side?
Nails his hands and feet are tearing,
and the spear hath pierced his side.
'Tis the God who ever liveth
'mid the shining ones on high,
in the glorious golden city,
reigning everlastingly. Topics: Year A Easter 5 Used With Tune: EBENEZER (TON-Y-BOTEL)

Blood-washed robes and crowns of glory;
Haste to tell redemption's story. [Refrain]

Hark! His chariot wheels are rumbling;
Tell, oh, tell of grace abounding,
While the seventh trump is sounding. [Refrain]

Christ His kingdom hast'neth greatly;
Earth her latest pangs is summing;
Shout, ye saints, your Lord is coming. [Refrain]

Now for you He's interceding;
Haste, ere grace and time diminished
Shall proclaim the myst'ry finished. [Refrain] Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Second Coming; Christian Year Advent (Second Coming) Used With Tune: JESUS COMES

Author: Paulus Gerhardt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 47 hymnals Scripture: Luke 12:33 First Line: O Lord, how shall I meet thee Lyrics: 1 O Lord, how shall I meet thee,
how welcome thee aright?
Thy people long to greet thee,
my hope, my heart's delight!
O kindle, Lord most holy,
a lamp within my breast
to do in spirit lowly
all that may please thee best.
2 Love caused thine incarnation,
love brought thee down to me;
thy thirst for my salvation
procured my liberty.
O love beyond all telling,
that led thee to embrace
in love all love excelling
our lost and fallen race.
3 A glory thou didst give me,
a treasure safe on high,
that will not fail nor leave me
as earthly riches fly.
My heart shall bloom forever
for thee with praises new,
and from thy name shall never
withhold the honor due. Used With Tune: HELDER Text Sources: Wie soll ich dich empfangen

far above all earthly things, while yet my hands are here employed,
sees my soul the King of kings, and freely talks with God.

find their heav'n begun below, and here thy glory see,
walk in all the works prepared by thee, to exercise their grace,
till they gain their full reward, and see thy glorious face! Topics: Biblical Characters Mary and Martha; Jesus Christ Master Used With Tune: LLANGEITHO
