When the King Shall Come
Come Down, O Love Divine
Author: Bianco da Siena (d. 1434); Richard Frederick Littledale (1833-1890) Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 109 hymnals Topics: Our Response to Christ In Penitence; The Holy Spirit The Coming of the Spirit; Holy Spirit as Comforter; Humility; Longing; Purity Of Heart Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love Divine,
seek out this soul of mine,
and visit it with your own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.
2 O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;
and let your glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
3 Let holy charity
my outward vesture be,
and lowliness becomes my inner clothing;
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o'er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.
4 And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
we cannot guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes a dwelling. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 2:9-12 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY
Come Down, O Love Divine
The King of Love my Shepherd Is (El Rey de amor es mi pastor)
Author: Henry W. Baker, 1821-1877; Frieda M. Hoh, 1896-1962 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 677 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Second Coming of Lyrics: 1 The King of love my Shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever.
2 Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow,
With food celestial feedeth.
3 Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me,
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me;
Thy rod and staff my comfort still,
Thy cross before to guide me.
5 Thou spread a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And, oh, transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!
6 And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise
Within thy house forever.

1 El Rey de amor es mi pastor,
su amor es verdadero;
su amparo no me faltará,
pues yo soy su cordero.
2 Me lleva al fresco manantial,
y a buenos pastos guía;
no temeré yo ningún mal,
si mi pastor me cuida.
3 *Perverso y necio me aparté
por valles peligrosos;
me halló, me trajo a su redil
en hombros poderosos.
4 En valle oscuro no tendré
temor si Dios me guía;
su vara y su cayado son
cual luz al alma mía.
5 Ha puesto mesa para mí,
ungióme con aceite,
mi copa rebosando está;
su amor es mi deleite.
6 Misericordia, gracia y paz
tú das al alma mía,
y en tus mansiones moraré,
Señor, por largos días.
*Perversa y necia Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: ST. COLUMBA

It Came upon a Midnight Clear
Author: Edmund H. Sears Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 870 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Second Coming of Lyrics: 1 It came upon a midnight clear,
that glorious song of old,
from angels bending near the earth
to touch their harps of gold:
“Peace on the earth, good will to all
from heaven’s gracious King.”
The world in solemn stillness lay,
to hear the angels sing.
2 Still through the cloven skies they come,
with peaceful wings unfurled,
and still their heav’nly music floats
o’er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
they bend on hov’ring wing,
and ever o’er its Babel sounds
the blessed angels sing.
3 Yet with the woes of sin and strife,
the world has suffered long;
beneath the heav’nly hymn have rolled
two thousand years of wrong,
and warring humankind hears not
the tidings which they bring.
O hush the noise and cease your strife
and hear the angels sing.
4 And you, beneath life's crushing load,
whose forms are bending low,
who toil along the climbing way
with painful steps and slow:
Look now! for glad and golden hours
come swiftly on the wing.
O rest beside the weary road,
and hear the angels sing.
5 For lo, the days are hast’ning on,
by prophet bards foretold,
when with the ever-circling years
comes round the age of gold,
when peace shall over all the earth
its ancient splendors fling,
and all the world sends back the song
which now the angels sing. Scripture: Luke 2:8-20 Used With Tune: CAROL Text Sources: Christian Register, 1849, alt.
It Came upon a Midnight Clear
"Come unto me, ye weary
Author: William C. Dix Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 249 hymnals Topics: Calling; Christ Compassion of; Christian Life Calling; Coming to Christ; Grace Converting; Invitation Lyrics: 1 "Come unto me, ye weary,
And I will give you rest."
O blessed voice of Jesus
Which comes to hearts oppressed!
It tells of benediction,
Of pardon, grace, and peace,
Of joy that hath no ending,
Of love which cannot cease.
2 "Come unto me, dear children,
And I will give you light."
O loving voice of Jesus
Which comes to cheer the night!
Our hearts were filled with sadness,
And we had lost our way;
But morning brings us gladness,
And songs the break of day.
3 "Come unto me, ye fainting,
And I will give you life."
O peaceful voice of Jesus
Which comes to end our strife!
The foe is stern and eager,
The fight is fierce and long;
But thou hast made us mighty,
And stronger than the strong.
4 "And whosoever cometh
I will not cast him out."
O patient love of Jesus
Which drives away our doubt;
Which calls us, very sinners,
Unworthy though we be
Of love so free and boundless,
To come, dear Lord, to thee!
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 11:28 Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN

At the Cross
Psalm 12
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Christ his coming, the signs of it; Signs of Christ's coming First Line: Help, Lord, for men of virtue fail Lyrics:
Help, Lord, for men of virtue fail,
Religion loses ground,
The sons of violence prevail,
And treacheries abound.
Their oaths and promises they break,
Yet act the flatterer's part;
With fair, deceitful lips they speak,
And with a double heart.
If we reprove some hateful lie,
How is their fury stirred
"Are not our lips our own?" they cry;
"And who shall be our Lord?"
Scoffers appear on every side,
Where a vile race of men
Is raised to seats of power and pride,
And bears the sword in vain.
Lord, when iniquities abound,
And blasphemy grows bold;
When faith is hardly to be found,
And love is waxing cold;
Is not thy chariot hast'ning on?
Hast thou not giv'n this sign?
May we not trust and live upon
A promise so divine?
"Yes," saith the Lord, "now will I rise,
And make oppressors flee;
I shall appear to their surprise,
And set my servants free."
Thy word, like silver sev'n times tried,
Through ages shall endure;
The men that in thy truth confide
Shall find the promise sure.
Scripture: Psalm 12

Weary souls, that wander wide
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 119 hymnals Topics: Bridegroom Coming of the; Christ Crucified; The Church and the Kingdom of God Evangelism; Gospel Freeness of ; Crucifixion; Weary invited Rest for the ; Way, Jesus the ; Wanderers, invited; Wanderers, invited Returning; Jesus (See also Christ) Crucify; Gospel Invitations of ; Invitations, Gospel; Rest For the weary; Redemption Lyrics: 1 Weary souls, that wander wide
From the central point of bliss,
Turn to Jesus crucified,
Fly to those dear wounds of His:
Sink into the purple flood;
Rise into the life of God.
2 Find in Christ the way of peace,
Peace unspeakable, unknown;
By His pain He gives you ease,
Life by His expiring groan:
Rise, exalted by His fall;
Find in Christ your all in all.
3 O believe the record true,
God to you His Son hath given!
Ye may now be happy too,
Find on earth the life of heaven:
Live the life of heaven above,
All the life of glorious love.
4 This the universal bliss,
Bliss for every soul designed;
God's original promise this,
God's great gift to all mankind
Blest in Christ this moment be!
Blest to all eternity! Used With Tune: SEVILLE
Weary souls, that wander wide
Thou dost reign on high
Author: Emily E. S. Elliott Meter: Irregular Appears in 417 hymnals Topics: Christ Second Coming and Judgment of Lyrics: 1 Thou didst reign on high
With a kingly crown,
Yet thou camest to earth for me,
And in Bethlehem's home
Was there found no room
For thy holy nativity:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
2 Heaven's arches rang
When the angels sang,
Proclaiming thy royal degree;
But of lowly birth
Didst thou come to earth,
And in great humility:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
3 The foxes found rest,
And the birds their nest,
In the shade of the forest tree;
But Thy couch was the sod,
O thou Son of God,
In the deserts of Galilee:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
4 Thou camest, O Lord,
With the living word
That should set thy people free;
But with mocking scorn,
And with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary:
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
There is room in my heart for thee.
5 When heav'n's arches shall ring,
And her choirs shall sing,
At thy coming to victory,
Let thy voice call me home,
Saying "Yet there is room,
There is room at My side for thee."
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When thou comest and callest for me.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:20 Used With Tune: MARGARET

Bearing gifts we traverse afar -

Following yonder star.

Star with royal beauty bright,
Westward leading, still proceeding,
Guide us to thy perfect light.

Gold I bring to crown Him again,
King forever, ceasing never
Over us all to reign. [Refrain]

Breathes a life of gathering gloom -
Sorr'wing, sighing, bleeding, dying,
Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. [Refrain]

King and God and Sacrifice;
Alleluia, alleluia!
Earth to heav'n replies. [Refrain] Used With Tune: KINGS OF ORIENT
