The Heavenly King Must Come

Author: Henry Arthur Martin Hymnal: HOoS1926 #201 (1926) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: The heav'nly King must come Lyrics: 1 The heav'nly King must come His desert realm to see; Must leave His own eternal home And all His majesty. 2 And lo! before Him sent His herald who must cry And never spare, "Repent, repent! Your King, your God, is nigh!" 3 He, when his work is done, Must see his light decay, Must hail with joy the brighter Sun, The glorious King of day. 4 O Lord, O King, O Sun, Whose messenger he came, Baptize us all, most holy One, In Thy refining flame. 5 Give us Thy grace, that we All evil may forsake, May boldly speak the truth for Thee, The lowest place may take. 6 So, when Thou com'st again, Thy realm redeemed to see, Thy steps shall find 'mid hearts of men A way made straight for Thee. Amen. Topics: Church Year Minor Festivals; Names and Office of Christ King; Names and Office of Christ Sun Languages: English Tune Title: FRANCONIA

O Wondrous Type! O Vision Fair

Hymnal: HOoS1926 #203 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type! O vision fair Of glory that the Church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows, Where brighter than the sun He glows! 2 From age to age the tale declare, How with the three disciples there, Where Moses and Elijah meet, The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 3 With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest to-day What glory shall be theirs above Who joy in God with perfect love. 4 And faithful hearts are raised on high By this great vision's mystery, For which in joyful strains we raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise. 5 O Father, with the eternal Son And Holy Spirit, ever One, Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace To see Thy glory face to face. Amen.

Lord, It Is Good for Us To Be

Author: Arthur Penrhyn Stanley Hymnal: HOoS1926 #204 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Lyrics: 1 Lord, it is good for us to be High on the mountain here with Thee, Where stand revealed to mortal gaze Those glorious saints of other days, Who once received on Horeb's height Th'eternal laws of truth and right, Or caught the still small whisper, higher Than storm, than earthquake, or than fire. 2 Lord, it is good for us to be Entranced, enwrapt, alone with Thee; And watch Thy glistering raiment glow Whiter than Hermon's whitest snow, The human lineaments that shine Irradiant with a light divine: Till we too change from grace to grace, Gazing on that transfigured face. 3 Lord, it is good for us to be Here on the holy mount with Thee; When darkling in the depths of night, When dazzled with excess of light, We bow before the heavenly voice That bids bewildered souls rejoice, Though love wax cold, and faith be dim: "This is my Son; O hear ye Him!"

Lord Jesus, on the Holy Mount

Author: John Anketell Hymnal: HOoS1926 #205 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, on the holy mount We would abide with Thee, Still drinking from the blessed fount Of grace, so rich and free. 2 There prophets praise Thy glorious Name, And deeds which Thou hast done; And there the Father's words proclaim His own beloved Son. 3 The rays of Thy transfigured face Beam with such golden light That we would never leave the place, Nor lose the heavenly sight. 4 But there is work on earth to do, The suffering souls to heal; The harvest great, the laborers few Thy kingdom to reveal. 5 We may not linger on the mount, Where bright Thy glories shine; We may not taste the sacred fount Of blessedness divine. 6 But let some beams of heavenly light Make bright our earthly way; Then grant the beatific sight Of heaven the endless day. Amen.

Behold a Host, Arrayed in White

Author: Hans Adolph Brorson Hymnal: HOoS1926 #207 (1926) Lyrics: 1 Behold a host, arrayed in white, Like thousand snow-clad mountains bright, With palms they stand--Who are this band Before the throne of light? Lo, these are they, of glorious fame, Who from the great affliction came, And in the flood of Jesus' blood Are cleansed from guilt and blame; Now gathered in the holy place Their voices they in worship raise, Their anthems swell where God doth dwell 'Mid angels' songs of praise. 2 Despised and scorned, they sojourned here, But now, how glorious they appear! These martyrs stand a priestly band, God's throne forever near. So oft, in troubled days gone by, In anguish they would weep and sigh; At home above, the God of Love The tears of all shall dry. They now enjoy their Sabbath rest, The paschal banquet of the blest; The Lamb, their Lord, at festal board Himself is host and guest. 3 Then hail, ye mighty legions, yea, All hail! Now safe and blest for aye; And praise the Lord, who with His Word Sustained you on the way. Ye did the joys of earth disdain, Ye toiled and sowed in tears and pain; Farewell, now bring your sheaves, and sing Salvation’s glad refrain. Swing high your palms, lift up your song, Yea, make it myriad voices strong: Eternally shall praise to Thee, God, and the Lamb, belong! Amen.

Author: Joseph the Hymnographer Hymnal: HOoS1926 #208 (1926) Meter: 10.10.10.10 Lyrics: 1 Stars of the morning, so gloriously bright, Filled with celestial resplendence and light, These that, where night never followeth day, Praise the "Thrice Holy, Lord!" ever and aye! 2 These are Thy ministers, these dost Thou own, Lord God of Sabaoth! nearest Thy throne; These are Thy messengers; these dost Thou send, Help of the helpless ones, man to defend. 3 Still let them succor us; still let them fight, Lord of angelic hosts! battling for right, Till, where their anthems they ceaselessly pour, We with the angels may bow and adore.

Who Are These in Bright Array?

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: HOoS1926 #209 (1926) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D First Line: Who are these in bright array Lyrics: 1 Who are these in bright array, This innumerable throng, Round the altar, night and day, Hymning one triumphant song? "Worthy is the Lamb, once slain, Blessing, honor, glory, pow'r, Wisdom, riches to obtain, New dominion ev'ry hour." 2 These through fiery trials trod, These from great affliction came; Now, before the throne of God, Sealed with His almighty Name, Clad in raiment pure and white, Victor-palms in every hand, Through their dear Redeemer's might, More than conquerors they stand. 3 Hunger, thirst, disease unknown, On immortal fruits they feed; Then the Lamb amidst the throne, Shall to living fountains lead; Joy and gladness banish sighs; Perfect love dispels all fears; And forever from their eyes God shall wipe away the tears.

Come, Let Us Join Our Friends Above

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: HOoS1926 #210 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, let us join our friends above, That have obtained the prize, And on the eagle wings of love To joy celestial rise. 2 Let all the saints terrestrial sing With those to glory gone; For all the servants of our King In earth and heav'n are one. 3 One family, we dwell in Him, One Church above, beneath; Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. 4 One army of the living God, To His command we bow; Part of His host has crossed the flood, And part is crossing now. 5 E'en now by faith we join our hands With those that went before, And greet the blood-besprinkled bands On the eternal shore. 6 Lord Jesus, be our constant Guide, And when the word is given, Bid the cold waves of death divide, And land us all in heaven.
