The Sands of Time Are Sinking

Author: Anne Ross Cousin Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.5 Appears in 324 hymnals Refrain First Line: and glory, glory dwelleth in Immanuel's land Lyrics: 1 The sands of time are sinking; the dawn of heaven breaks; the summer morn I've sighed for, the fair, sweet morn, awakes. Dark, dark, hath been the midnight, but dayspring is at hand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 2 The King there in his beauty without a veil is seen; it were a well-spent journey though sev'n deaths lay between! The Lamb, with his fair army, doth on Mount Zion stand, and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land. 3 With mercy and with judgment my web of time he wove, and aye the dews of sorrow were lustered by his love; I'll bless the hand that guided; I'll bless the heart that planned; and glory, glory dwelleth in Emmanuel's land.

When First My Soul Enlisted

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1. When first my soul enlisted, My Savior's foes to fight, Mistaken friends insisted, I was not armed aright: So Saul advised young David He certainly would fail, Nor could his life be saved, Without a coat of mail. 2. But David, though he yielded To put the armor on, Soon found he could not wield it And ventured forth with none. With only sling and pebble, He fought the fight of faith; The weapon seemed but feeble, Yet proved Goliah's death. 3. Had I by him been guided, And quickly thrown away The armor friends provided, I might have gain'd the day; But armed as they advised me, My expectations failed; The enemy surprised me And had almost prevailed. 4. Satan will not be shaken By such a worm as I; Then let me learn with David To trust in the Most High; To plead the name of Jesus, And use the sling of prayer; Thus armed, when Satan sees us, He'll tremble and despair.

I need Thee, precious Jesus

Author: Frederick Whitfield Appears in 307 hymnals Lyrics: 1 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am full of sin; My soul is dark and guilty, My heart is dead within; I need the cleansing fountain Where I can always flee, The Blood of Christ most precious, The sinner's perfect plea. 2 I need Thee, precious Jesus, For I am very poor; A stranger and a pilgrim, I have no earthly store. I need the love of Jesus To cheer me on my way, To guide my doubting footsteps, To be my strength and stay. 3 I need Thee, precious Jesus, I need a Friend like Thee, A Friend to soothe and pity, A Friend to care for me. I need the heart of Jesus To feel each anxious care, To tell my every trouble And all my sorrows share. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: LLANGLOFFAN
