Lo! He comes with clouds descending

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 781 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lo! He comes with clouds descending, Once for favoured sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Amen. 2 Every eye shall now behold Him, Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at nought and sold Him, Pierced, and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Now redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear; All His saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet Him in the air: Hallelujah! See the day of God appear! 4 Yea, Amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Saviour, take the power and glory, Claim the kingdom for Thine own: O come quickly; Hallelujah! come, Lord, come!

There's a light upon the mountains

Author: Dr. Henry Burton, 1840- Appears in 54 hymnals Lyrics: 1 There's a light upon the mountains and the day is at the spring, When our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King: Weary was our heart with waiting, and the night-watch seemed so long, But His triumph-day is breaking and we hail it with a song. 2 In the fading of the starlight we may see the coming morn; And the lights of men are paling in the splendours of the dawn: For the eastern skies are glowing as with light of hidden fire, And the hearts of men are stirring with the throbs of deep desire. 3 He is breaking down the barriers, He is casting up the way; He is calling for His angels to build up the gates of day: But His angels here are human, not the shining hosts above; For the drum-beats of His army are the heart-beats of our love.

Amid the splendour of the spring

Author: Mrs. Ormiston Chant, 1848- Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Amid the splendour of the spring, The glory of its flowers, The joyous songs the wild birds sing, One constant grief is ours: Grief for the homes no spring can reach, Hearts that no sun can cheer, Souls that no happy warblings teach The lesson of the year. 2 Where gloomy alleys thickly crowd, The children, pinched and pale, Hear angry voices harsh and loud, Hear suffering's bitter wail; While the sweet daisied meads of God, Clad in His gift of green, Call to the feet that have not trod, Eyes that no fields have seen. 3 O dark upon the children falls The shadow of the strife That robs them of the festivals And holy days of life; Drink is that shadow stern and grim; Christians! awake and pray; Cry to your Lord for grace from Him This curse to drive away. 4 He loves the children, who hath given His life to save and heal; His spring-time symbols hope and heaven, And doth His life reveal. O for new growth of faith and prayer, Work that a world shall free, Out of the shadow and despair To pass to victory.
