Come, King Of Saints, So Long Concealed

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Come, King of saints, so long concealed In majesty divine revealed, With glorious pomp, and heavenly power! All things unto Thyself subdue, Restore, create them all anew, And reign when time shall be no more. 2 Shorten the great extreme distress, Fulfill Thy largest promises, For which the Bride and Spirit groan: Thy groan in all Thy creatures hear, And now th’Almighty Lord appear, Appear on Thine eternal throne!

Total Eclipse

Author: Richard W. Adams Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Total eclipse! No sun, no moon! Lyrics: 1 Total eclipse! No sun, no moon! All dark amidst the blaze of noon! Oh, glorious light! No cheering ray To glad my eyes with welcome day! Why thus deprived Thy prime decree? Sun, moon, and stars are dark to me! 2 I search God’s Word, and there I see The day will come when signs these be; The moon confounded, sun ashamed, The stars withdrawn, the heav’ns in flame; The oceans roar as nations fight, And clouds and smoke turn day to night. 3 O Lord, You are our strength and stay, Protect us in that awful day; When heav’n departs, a worn out scroll, When islands move from pole to pole; When rocks and mountains cannot save The guilty from the yawning grave. 4 But those who call upon the Lord, His arm will save, will help afford; He is a refuge, covert, tower, Not hell or earth can overpower; For those washed clean in Jesus’ blood, He keeps them safe above the flood.

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Tremendous Lord, Thy voice we hear, "In glorious majesty severe, In anger great, I soon will rise! Vengeance on that appointed day Shall fiercely claim its destined prey, And seize the victims of the skies. 2 "I will Mine indignation pour, On all th’assembled kingdoms shower The vials of My jealous ire; My wrath shall to the utmost come, The whole devoted earth consume, And burn My foes with quenchless fire."

Adored By The Acclaiming Crowd

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Adored by the acclaiming crowd, He falls a man, and not a god! He falls (no sooner deified Than smote) a sacrifice to pride, Anticipates the final hour, And worms their fellow worm devour. 2 The man who praise from man receives, Nor to his God the glory gives, In him the just reward we see Of sacrilegious vanity; And all which nature called her own We now refer to God alone. 3 But chiefly, Lord, the gifts of grace To Thy sole glory we confess, Afraid to rob Thee of Thy right, And arrogate with vain delight, Or take the homage of the throng Which only doth to Thee belong. 4 Whoe’er, like Lucifer, aspire, And suffer men their grace t’admire, Most humbled, when exalted most, Of Christ alone we make our boast, And own (if we perfection name) Perfection is with Christ the same.
