When The King Shall Claim His Own

Author: Lorenzo D. Santee Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals First Line: In the glad time of the harvest Lyrics: 1 In the glad time of the harvest, In the grand millennial year, When the King shall take His scepter, And to judge the world appear, Earth and sea shall yield their treasure, All shall stand before the throne; Just awards shall then be given, When the King shall claim His own. 2 O the rapture of His people! Long they’ve dwelt in earth’s low sod, With their hearts e’er turning homeward, Rich in faith and love to God. They shall share the life immortal, They shall know as they are known, They shall pass the pearly portal, When the King shall claim His own. 3 Long they’ve toiled within the harvest, Sown the precious seed with tears; Soon they’ll drop their heavy burdens In the glad millennial years; They shall share the bliss of Heaven, Never more to sigh or moan; Starry crowns shall then be given, When the King shall claim His own. 4 We shall greet the loved and loving, Who have left us lonely here; Every heartache will be banished When the Savior shall appear; Never grieved by sin or sorrow, Never weary or alone; O we long for that glad morrow When the King shall claim His own.

Come and Find the Quiet Center

Author: Shirley Erena Murray Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come and find the quiet center in the crowded life we lead, find the room for hope to enter, find the frame where we are freed: clear the chaos and the clutter, clear our eyes, that we can see all the things that really matter, be at peace, and simply be. 2 Silence is a friend who claims us, cools the heat and slows the pace, God it is who speaks and names us, knows our being, touches base, making space within our thinking, lifting shades to show the sun, raising courage when we're shrinking, finding scope for faith begun. 3 In the Spirit let us travel, open to each other's pain, let our loves and fears unravel, celebrate the space we gain: there's a place for deepest dreaming, there's a time for heart to care, in the Spirit's lively scheming there is always room to spare!

Fairest child of fairest mother, God the Lord who came to earth, Word made flesh, our very brother, Takes our nature by his birth. 2 Sing of Jesus, son of Mary, In the home at Nazareth. Toil and labor cannot weary Love enduring unto death. Constant was the love he gave her, Though he went forth from her side, Forth to preach, and heal, and suffer, Till on Calvary he died. 3 Glory be to God the Father; Glory be to God the Son; Glory be to God the Spirit; Glory to the Three in One. From the heart of blessed Mary, From all saints the song ascends, And the Church the strain reechoes Unto earth's remotest ends.

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 250 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Tarry with me, O my Saviour, For the day is passing by; See, the shades of evening gather, And the night is drawing nigh. 2 Many friends were gathered round me In the bright days of the past, But the grave has closed above them, And I linger here at last. 3 Deeper, deeper grow the shadows, Paler now, the glowing west, Swift the night of death advances, Shall it be the night of rest? 4 Feeble, trembling, fainting, dying, Lord, I cast myself on thee; Tarry with me through the darkness, While I sleep, still watch by me.

In the cold and snow of winter there's a spring that waits to be, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 2 There's a song in every silence, seeking word and melody; there's a dawn in every darkness bringing hope to you and me. From the past will come the future; what it holds, a mystery, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see. 3 In our end is our beginning; in our time, infinity; in our doubt there is believing; in our life, eternity. In our death, a resurrection; at the last, a victory, unrevealed until its season, something God alone can see.

Happy place! so near, so precious! May it find me there each day; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, I would look upon the past; For His love has been so gracious, It has won my heart at last. 2 Sitting at the feet of Jesus, Where can mortal be more blest? There I lay my sins and sorrows, And, when weary, find sweet rest; Sitting at the feet of Jesus, There I love to weep and pray; While I from His fullness gather Grace and comfort every day. 3 Bless me, O my Savior, bless me, As *I sit low at Thy feet; [*I’m waiting] Oh, look down in love upon me, Let me see Thy face so sweet; Give me, Lord, the mind of Jesus, Keep me holy as He is; May I prove I’ve been with Jesus, Who is all my righteousness.

In Thy Wrath and Hot Displeasure

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In thy wrath and hot displeasure, chasten not thy servant, Lord; let thy mercy, without measure, help and peace to me afford. Heavy is my tribulation, sore my punishment has been; broken by thine indignation, I am troubled by my sin. 2 With my burden of transgression heavy-laden, overborne, humbled low I make confession, for my folly now I mourn. Weak and wounded, I implore thee; Lord, to me thy mercy show; all my pray'r is now before thee, all my trouble thou dost know. 3 Darkness gathers, foes assail me, but I answer not a word; all my friends desert and fail me, only thou my cry hast heard. Lord, in thee am I confiding; thou wilt answer when I call, lest my foes, the good deriding, triumph in thy servant's fall. 4 I am prone to halt and stumble, grief and sorrow dwell within, shame and guilt my spirit humble; I am sorry for my sin. Lord, my God, do not forsake me, let me know that thou art near, under thy protection take me, as my Savior now appear.

Spake The Glorious Lord In Heaven

Author: Edward W. Benson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Spake the glorious Lord in Heaven, "Lord, be Thine this royal seat, Till their armies thunder-riven Bow the neck beneath Thy feet." Lo, Thy standards proudly flowing, Forth they fare the world to win, Reign and prosper, overthrowing All the lords of death and sin. 2 God with man, an infant tender Of a stainless maiden born, Elder than the day-star’s splendor, Purer than the pearls of morn, By the eternal oath appointed Of the mystic order blest, Thou art vested, throned, anointed, Evermore a kingly priest. 3 When the doom of sin is sealèd And the trump of judgment rings, Darkly at Thy side revealèd God shall bruise the godless kings. Thou shalt judge amongst the heathen, Thou shalt fill the world with dead; Never shall Thy sword be sheathen, Till it smite the apostate’s head. 4 But Thy spell of endless glory Is to suffer and to die; Kedron with its bitter story, And the vale of agony. Honor, blessing, virtue, merit To the Father and the Son, And the good and gracious Spirit, While eternal ages run. Used With Tune: CHARTRES Text Sources: Wellington College Hymn Book, 1860
