The Sands of Time Are Sinking

Author: Anne R. Cousin; Samuel Rutherford, 1600-1661 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Appears in 311 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking; the dawn of heaven breaks; the summer morn I've sighed for, the fair sweet morn awakes; dark, dark, hath been the midnight, but dayspring is at hand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 2 The King there in His beauty without a veil is seen; it were a well-spent journey, though trials lay between: the Lamb with His fair army on Zion's mountain stands, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 3 O Christ, He is the Fountain, the deep sweet Well of love! The streams on earth I've tasted; more deep I'll drink above: there to an ocean fullness His mercy doth expand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 4 The bride eyes not her garment, but her dear bridegroom's face; I will not gaze at glory, but on my King of grace; not at the crown He giveth, but on His piercèd hand; the Lamb is all the glory of Emmanuel's land.

How Blest Are They Whose Trespass

Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 31 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How blest are they whose trespass has freely been forgiven, whose sins are wholly covered before the sight of heaven. Blest they to whom the LORD God does not impute their sin, who have a guileless spirit, whose heart is true within. 2 While I kept guilty silence, my strength was spent with grief: your hand was heavy on me; my soul found no relief. But when I owned my trespass and did not hide my sin, then you forgave my guilt, LORD, restored my life within. 3 So let the godly seek you in times when you are near; no whelming floods shall reach them or cause their hearts to fear. O LORD, you are my refuge, you are my hiding place, and you surround me always with songs of saving grace. 4 "I graciously will teach you the way that you should go, and, with my eye upon you, help you my counsel know. Then do not be unruly or slow to understand; be not perverse, but willing to heed my wise command." 5 The sorrows of the wicked increase from year to year, but those who trust the LORD God know love instead of fear. Then in the LORD be joyful, in song lift up your voice; be glad in God, you righteous: rejoice, O saints, rejoice!
