He Will Come, Perhaps, At Morning

Author: George Watson Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He will come, perhaps, at morning, When to simply live is sweet, When the arm is strong, unwearied By the noonday toil and heat; When the undimmed eye looks fearless Up the shining heights of life, And the eager soul is panting, Yearning for some noble strife. 2 He will come, perhaps, at noontide, When the pulse of life throbs high, When the fruits of toil are ripening, And the harvest time is nigh; Then thro’ all the full-orbed splendor Of the sun’s meridian blaze, There may shine the strange, new beauty Of the Lord’s transfigured face. 3 Or it may be in the evening— Gray and somber is the sky, Clouds around the sunset gather, Far and dark the shadows lie; When we long for rest and slumber, And some tender thoughts of home Fill the heart with vague, sad yearning, Then perhaps the Lord will come. 4 If He only finds us ready In the morning’s happy light, In the strong and fiery noontide, Or the coming of the night— If He only finds us waiting, Listening for His sudden call, Then His coming when we think not Is the sweetest hope of all.

O My Savior, Thou Art Precious

Author: Kate Ulmer Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: O my Savior, Thou art precious! Lyrics: 1 O my Savior, Thou art precious! Precious in life’s darkest hour; Tho’ mine eyes have never beheld Thee, Yet my life has felt Thy power. In the deepest, darkest midnight, Bound by chains of death and sin, Thou, the great and strong Deliverer, Liberty and life didst win. 2 O my Savior, Thou art precious! When the storms of sorrow break, When the heart with anguish quivers, And our faith no song can wake. Then how sweetly comes the message— Cast thy every care on Me! I have carried all thy sorrows, All thy griefs have borne for thee. 3 O my Savior, Thou art precious! When the temper would ensnare, And my flesh, so weak and sinful, Fain would lend a listening ear; Then Thy Spirit’s gentle pleading Falls upon my wavering heart, Bringing faith’s shield to remembrance, Which can quench each fiery dart. 4 Precious Savior, ever so precious, Dearer far than all to me; Tho’ mine eyes have never beheld Thee, Yet, some day, Thy face I’ll see. How my heart with joy shall quiver, How my ransomed tongue will sing, When in all Thy wondrous beauty I behold my Savior King! Used With Tune: MEERUT Text Sources: Song Praises by Charles H. Gabriel (Carbondale, IL: Egyptian Publishing Company, 1906)
