Angels Gathering the Elect

Author: D. S. Warner Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Mighty messengers are running Lyrics: 1 Mighty messengers are running, Shouting, “Flee from Babel’s doom! For her plagues are swiftly coming, Her destruction will be soon.” Refrain: Oh, behold the angels flying, Sounding loud the trump of God; Gath’ring home the sons of Zion, Sanctified in Jesus’ blood. 2 Popish reign of bloody terror Passed around—an awful night— Now the cloudy day of error Breaks away in evening light. [Refrain] 3 Hark! the shouts of joyful freedom, ’Tis the captives coming home; From each name of sect confusion, Made complete in Christ alone. [Refrain] 4 Out of Sodom’s desolation, Out of mystic Babel’s fog; In the light of full salvation, We are coming home to God. [Refrain] 5 Heaven’s truth on earth is telling, Light is streaming from above; Saints have found in God their dwelling, Sweetly bound in perfect love. [Refrain] Anthems from the Throne, 1888 (Timeless Truths) Used With Tune: [Mighty messengers are running]

Heavenly Father, grant thy blessing

Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Heavenly Father, grant thy blessing, While thy praise we humbly sing: Sinful hearts and lives confessing, Nothing worthy can we bring; Yet thy book of love hath taught us Thou wilt kindly bow thine ear; For the sake of Him who bought us We may call, and thou wilt hear. 2 What a boon to us is given, Thus to lift our voice on high, Well assured the ear of Heaven Hears our wants and will supply; Weak and sinful, oh, how often Must we look to God alone, For his grace our hearts to soften And sustain us as his own. 3 Bless, O Lord, this happy meeting, While we stay and when we go; Here our hearts in friendly greeting Gladly join thy praise below; But all earthly unions sever, All their pleasures quickly fly: Oh, for grace to praise thee ever, In that better world on high!
