The Lord Will Come and Not Be Slow
Author: John Milton, 1608-1674 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 98 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord will come and not be slow;
His footsteps cannot err;
Before him righteousness shall go,
His royal harbinger.
To those who name his name in fear,
Salvation is at hand!
And soon his glory shall appear
And dwell within our land.
2 Then truth shall brighten ev'ry eye
Like flowers fresh unfurled;
And justice, firmly throned on high,
Shall reign throughout the world.
O Lord, who made both great and small
By power measureless,
Arise and come as judge of all;
Our wicked ways redress.
3 Then all the lands which you have made
Shall come and bend the knee
And, bowing low before their Lord,
Confess your sovereignty.
For greatness, Lord, is yours alone,
And, by your mighty hand,
The rule established by your throne
Forevermore shall stand.

The Lord Will Come and Not Be Slow
My Shepherd Is the Living Lord
Author: Thomas Sternhold; Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My Shepherd is the living Lord
nothing therefore I need;
in pastures fair, near pleasant streams
he setteth me to feed.
He brings my wand'ring spirit back
when I forsake his ways,
and leads me for his mercy's sake
in paths of truth and grace.
2 When I walk through the shades of death,
thy presence is my stay;
a word of thy supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
doth still my table spread;
my cup with blessings overflows,
thine oil anoints my head.
3 The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
O may thy house be mine abode,
and all my work be praise.
There would I find a settled rest,
while others go and come--
no more a stranger or a guest,
but like a child at home.

Whom Jesus' Blood Doth Sanctify
Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Whom Jesus’ blood doth sanctify,
Need neither sin nor fear;
Hid in our Savior’s hand we lie,
And laugh at danger near.
His guardian hand doth hold, protect,
And save, by ways unknown,
The little flock, the saints elect,
Who trust in Him alone.
2. Our prophet, priest, and king, to Thee
We joyfully submit;
And learn, in meek humility,
Our lesson at Thy feet.
Spirit and life Thy words impart,
And blessings from above;
And drop, in every listening heart
The manna of Thy love. Used With Tune: BETHLEHEM Text Sources: In the Wesley manuscripts

Behold a Sower! from Afar
Author: Washington Gladden, 1836-1918 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold a Sower! from afar
He goeth forth with might;
The rolling years His furrows are,
His seed, the growing light;
For all the just His Word is sown,
It springeth up alway;
The tender blade is hope’s young dawn,
The harvest, love’s new day.
2 O Lord of life, to Thee we lift
Our hearts in praise for those,
Thy prophets, who have shown Thy gift
Of grace that ever grows,
Of truth that spreads from shore to shore,
Of wisdom’s widening ray,
Of light that shineth more and more
Unto Thy perfect day.
3 Shine forth, O Light, that we may see,
With hearts all unafraid,
The meaning and the mystery
Of things that Thou hast made;
Shine forth, and touch the darkling past
Beneath Thy beam grow bright;
Shine forth, and touch the future vast
With Thine untroubled light.
4 Light up Thy Word; the fettered page
From killing bondage free:
Light up our way; lead forth this age
In love’s large liberty.
O Light of light! within us dwell,
Through us Thy radiance pour,
That word and life Thy truths may tell,
And praise Thee evermore.
AMEN.

My Heart Sings Out with Joyful Praise
Hear Me O God, Nor Hide Thy Face
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 62 hymnals First Line: Hear me, O God, nor hide Thy face Lyrics: 1. Hear me, O God, nor hide Thy face;
But answer, lest I die;
Hast Thou not built a throne of grace
To hear when sinners cry?
2. My days are wasted like the smoke
Dissolving in the air;
My strength is dried, my heart is broke,
And sinking in despair.
3. My spirits flag like withering grass
Burnt with excessive heat;
In secret groans my minutes pass,
And I forget to eat.
4. As on some lonely building’s top
The sparrow tells her moan,
Far from the tents of joy and hope
I sit and grieve alone.
5. My soul is like a wilderness
Where beasts of midnight howl;
There the sad raven finds her place
And there the screaming owl.
6. Dark, dismal thoughts, and boding fears,
Dwell in my troubled breast;
While sharp reproaches wound my ears,
Nor give my spirit rest.
7. My cup is mingled with my woes,
And tears are my repast;
My daily bread, like ashes, grows
Unpleasant to my taste.
8. Sense can afford no real joy
To souls that feel Thy frown;
Lord, ’twas Thy hand advanced me high
Thy hand hath cast me down.
9. My looks like withered leaves appear;
And life’s declining light
Grows faint as evening shadows are
That vanish into night.
10. But Thou for ever art the same,
O my eternal God;
Ages to come shall know Thy name,
And spread Thy works abroad.
11. Thou wilt arise and show Thy face,
Nor will my Lord delay
Beyond th’appointed hour of grace,
That long-expected day.
12. He hears His saints, He knows their cry,
And by mysterious ways
Redeems the prisoners doomed to die,
And fills their tongues with praise. Used With Tune: ST. MATTHEW Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719
Hear Me O God, Nor Hide Thy Face
The Lord is rich and merciful
Author: Thomas T. Lynch Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 39 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord is rich and merciful,
The Lord is very kind;
O come to him, come now to him,
With a believing mind:
His comforts, they shall strengthen thee,
Like flowing waters cool;
And he shall for thy spirit be
A fountain ever full.
2 The Lord is glorious and strong,
Our God is very high;
O trust in him, trust now in him,
And have security:
He shall be to thee like the sea,
And thou shalt surely feel
His wind, that bloweth healthily
Thy sicknesses to heal.
3 The Lord is wonderful and wise,
As all the ages tell;
O learn of him, learn now of him,
Then with thee it is well;
And with his light thou shalt be blest,
Therein to work and live;
And he shall be to thee a rest
When evening hours arrive.
