Lyrics: 1 It is written in the Bible How the Savior died in love, That each lost and guilty sinner May be saved and crowned above. Refrain: Oh, that blessed day is coming! We’ll receive a crown of life In the joyful day awaiting. Will you have a crown of life? 2 Do you hear the invitation, Oh, how wonderful the grace; Heaven offers full redemption, And a crown of perfect peace.

Near the End

Author: William G. Schell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Time moves on with solemn footsteps Lyrics: 1 Time moves on with solemn footsteps As it nears the final shore; Fast the sun of earth is sinking, Soon our world shall be no more. The sixth trumpet now is sounding To prepare the holy bride— Many on the golden altar, “Purified, made white, and tried. 2 "Lo! the angel now is standing On the sea and on the land; How His voice the air is rending, As to God He lifts His hand! What an awful, awful message! Help us, Lord, this truth to see; When the seventh trumpet thunders, Then shall time no longer be. 3 One more trumpet yet to summon Us before the judgment seat, Then the time of our frail planet Will be said to be complete. How the wicked will be wailing, And the righteous overjoyed, When with fire the heav’ns are burning, And the earth shall be destroyed. 4 While false prophets are confiding In a foolish, erring dream Of millennial enjoyments, They neglect the cleansing stream. Oh, poor sinner, don’t believe them, There will be no age to come; If in life you find not Jesus, Death will seal your awful doom.

Christmas Hymn

Author: Anna Deming Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Softly, softly, thro’ the midnight Lyrics: 1 Softly, softly, thro’ the midnight, Let the bells their message ring, All the air is hushed and silent, ’Tis the birth night of the King. In a manger poor and lowly, Was the Christ Child’s cradle nest; He, the ruler, Lord, and Savior, In no royal robe was dressed. 2 Only Bethl’hem’s shepherds watching By their flocks upon the hill, Heard the hosts of angels singing, Peace on earth, to men good will. Strange the silent world could slumber, Strange that city, quaint and still, Felt no deeper pulse awaken, Felt no higher, holier thrill! 3 And the busy throng moved onward, Knowing not and heeding less; Now the world kneels, trusting, prayerful, Knowing that He came to bless; Gladly, gladly, through the stillness, Let the joyful message ring; He hath loved us, He hath saved us, He thro’ endless time is King.

O King of Glory

Author: Henry E. Fox Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: O King of Glory, God of Grace Lyrics: 1. O King of Glory, God of Grace, Age after age is telling Thy mercy to a fallen race; The Lord with mankind dwelling Thou didst of old send forth Thy Word, Pardon and peace revealing; From slumber waked, our fathers heard, And sought the nation’s healing. 2. To every land the word has gone, Christ comes, go forth to meet Him; Where darkness dwelt the light has shone, Prepare, O earth, to meet Him. Break, Afric, break thine age-long chains, Proud Islam’s bondage spurning; Sing, India, sing o’er all thy plains, Sorrow to joy is turning. 3. Land of the rising sun, arise, Thy better day is dawning, From shore to shore the message flies, That hails earth’s brighter morning. Kinsmen afar responsive sing, Pass on the Gospel story; Sing, comrade band, Make Jesus king, The Lord comes back in glory. Used With Tune: LAGOS (Bellerby)

Tänk uti din ungdoms dagar

Author: Joel Blomqvist Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Tänk uti din ungdoms dagar På din skapare och Gud! O, "min son, gif mig ditt hjärta," Lyder än din Herres bud. Om och världen dig behagar, Då hon vänligt mot dig ler, Hennes fröjd förbyts i smärta, Hon till sist dig öfverger. 2 Säll den yngling, som ej nöjer Sig med världens falska fröjd, Som vid hennes usla brunnar Aldrig känner sig förnöjd. Lycklig den sig tidigt böjer Ödmjukt för sin Gud och hör Ordet, som han oss förkunnar, Tror det och därefter gör. Topics: Väckelse och Inbjudning; Invitation Used With Tune: AUSTRIA
