Come, living God, when least expected

Author: Alan Gaunt (b. 1935) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 Lyrics: 1 Come, living God, when least expected, when minds are dull and hearts are cold, through sharpening word and warm affection revealing truths as yet untold. 2 Break from the tomb in which we hide you to speak again in startling ways; break through the words in which we bind you to resurrect our lifeless praise. 3 Come now, as once you came to Moses within the bush alive with flame; or to Elijah on the mountain, by silence pressing home your claim. 4 So, let our minds be sharp to read you in sight or sound or printed page, and let us greet you in our neighbours, in ardent youth or mellow age. 5 Then, through our gloom, your Son will meet us as vivid truth and living Lord, exploding doubt and disillusion to scatter hope and joy abroad. 6 Then we will share his radiant brightness and, blazing through the dread of night, illuminate by love and reason, for those in darkness, faith's delight.

Author: Elizabeth Ann Head (1850-1936) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 46 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 O Breath of Life, come sweeping through us, revive your Church with life and power; O Breath of Life, come, cleanse, renew us, and fit your Church to meet this hour. 2 O Wind of God, come bend us, break us, till humbly we confess our need: then in your tenderness remake us, revive, restore; for this we plead. 3 O Breath of Love, come breathe within us, renewing thought and will and heart: come, Love of Christ, afresh to win us, revive your Church in every part. 4 Revive us, Lord! is zeal abating while harvest fields are vast and white? Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting, equip your Church to spread the light.

Before the day draws near its ending

John Ellerton (1826-1893) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 18 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1 Before the day draws near its ending, And evening steals o'er earth and sky, Once more to Thee our hymns ascending Shall speak Thy praises, Lord Most High. 2 O Light all clear, O Truth most holy, O boundless Mercy pardoning all, Before Thy feet, abashed and lowly, With one last prayer Thy children fall. 3 When we no more on earth adore Thee, And others worship here in turn, O may we sing that song before Thee, Which none but Thy redeemed can learn. Amen. Topics: Orisons; Aspiration; Evening hymns; Penitence and Confession; Prayer and Intercession Used With Tune: SUNSET
