Yonder, See The Lord Descending

Author: John A. Granade, 1770-1807 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yonder, see the Lord descending, Hark! His chariot’s drawing near; Starry worlds before Him rending, Flaming troops do now appear. Heaven shaking, earth is quaking, Mountains fly before His face, See the dead their graves forsaking, Nature sinking in a blaze. 2 Now behold the shining conquerors, Rising from their dusty beds, Fly to meet their blessed Savior, Glittering crowns upon their heads; Hear them tell their pleasing story To their smiling, lovely king, Glory, glory, glory, glory, Glory is the song they sing. 3 Once an infant in a manger, There the Lord of glory lay; No place for that little stranger But upon the oxen’s hay; Now He’s crowned with a rainbow Brighter than a sardius stone; Now He comes—the Christian sees Him Seated on His great white throne.

We Believe in God the Father

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smith Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We believe in God the Father, God Almighty, by whose plan earth and heaven sprang into being, all created things began. We believe in Christ the Savior, Son of God in human frame, virgin born, the child of Mary, upon whom the Spirit came. 2 Christ, who on the cross forsaken, like a lamb to slaughter led, suffered under Pontius Pilate, he descended to the dead. We believe in Jesus risen, heaven’s king to rule and reign, to the Father’s side ascended till as judge he comes again. 3 We believe in God the Spirit; in one church, below, above; saints of God in one communion, one in holiness and love. So by faith, our sins forgiven, Christ our Savior, Lord and Friend, we shall rise with him in glory to the life that knows no end.

Jesus, Thou Divine Companion

Author: Henry J. van Dyke Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 79 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Jesus, Thou divine companion, By Thy lowly human birth Thou hast come to join the workers, Burden bearers of the earth. Thou, the carpenter of Nazareth, Toiling for Thy daily food, By Thy patience and Thy courage, Thou hast taught us toil is good. 2. They who tread the path of labor Follow where Thy feet have trod; They who work without complaining Do the holy will of God. Thou, the peace that passeth knowledge, Dwellest in the daily strife; Thou, the bread of Heaven, broken In the sacrament of life. 3. Every task, however simple, Sets the soul that does it free; Every deed of love and kindness Done to man is done to Thee. Jesus, Thou divine companion, Help us all to do our best; Bless in our daily labor, Lead us to the Sabbath rest. Used With Tune: LOVE DIVINE (Le Jeune)
