Come, Lord, and Tarry Not!
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, Lord, and tarry not!
Bring the long-looked for day!
O why these years of waiting here,
These ages of delay?
2 Come, for your saints still wait;
Daily ascends their sigh;
The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come!"
Do you not hear the cry?
3 Come, for creation groans
With longing for your stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of decay.
4 Come, and make all things new;
Build up this ruined earth;
Restore our faded paradise,
Creation's second birth.
5 Come, and begin your reign
Of everlasting peace;
Come, take the kingdom to yourself,
Great King of Righteousness! Topics: Advent Season; Hope; New Creation; New Life; Perseverance; Redemption; Reign of God, Kingdom; Second Coming Scripture: Revelation 22:17 Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE

Out of the depths I call
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Out of the depths I call,
to God I send my cry;
Lord, hear my supplicating voice
and graciously reply.
2 My soul with patience waits
for thee, the living Lord,
my hopes are on thy promise built,
thy never-failing word.
3 My longing eyes look out
for thy enlivening ray,
more duly than the morning watch
to spy the dawning day.
4 Let Israel trust in God;
no bounds his mercy knows;
the plenteous source and spring from whence
redemption ever flows.

Out of the depths I call
O'erwhelmed in Depths of Woe
Author: Anonymous; Edward Caswall Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O’erwhelmed in depths of woe,
Upon the tree of scorn,
Hangs the Redeemer of mankind,
With racking anguish torn.
2. See how the nails those hands
And feet so tender rend;
See down His face, and neck, and breast
His sacred blood descend.
3. Oh, hear that last, loud cry
Which pierced His mother’s heart,
As into God the Father’s hands
He bade His soul depart.
4. Earth hears, and trembling quakes
Around that tree of pain;
The rocks are rent; the graves are burst;
The veil is rent in twain.
5. Shall man alone be mute?
Have we no griefs, or fears?
Come, old and young, come, all mankind,
And bathe those feet in tears.
6. Come, fall before His cross,
Who shed for us His blood,
Who died, the victim of pure love,
To make us sons of God.
7. Jesu, all praise to Thee,
Our joy and endless rest;
Be Thou our guide while pilgrims here,
Our crown amid the blest. Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE Text Sources: Roman Breviary, 1827; Translation in Lyra Catholica, 1849

Not what these hands have done

Not what these hands have done
Forever with the Lord!
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 631 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Forever with the Lord!
Amen! so let it be!
Life from the dead is in that word,
And immortality.
2 Here in the body pent,
Absent from Him I roam,
Yet nightly pitch my moving tent
A day's march nearer home.
3 My Father's house on high,
Home of my soul, how near
At times, to faith's foreseeing eye,
The golden gates appear.
4 Ah! then my spirit faints
To reach the land I love,
The bright inheritance of saints,
Jerusalem above!
5 Then, then I feel that He,
Remembered or forgot,
The Lord, is never far from me,
Though I perceive Him not.
6 So when my latest breath
Shall rend the veil in twain,
By death I shall escape from death,
And life eternal gain.

It is not death to die
Author: H. A. César Malan Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 178 hymnals Lyrics: 1 It is not death to die--
To leave this weary road,
And, 'midst the brotherhood on high,
To be at home with God.
2 It is not death to close
The eye long dimmed with tears,
And wake in glorious repose
To spend eternal years.
3 It is not death to bear
The wrench that sets us free
From dungeon chain, to breathe the air
Of boundless liberty.
4 It is not death to fling
Aside this sinful dust,
And rise, on strong exulting wing,
To live among the just.
5 Jesus, Thou Prince of life,
Thy chosen cannot die:
Like Thee, they conquer in the strife,
To reign with Thee on high. Topics: The Last Things Burial and Resurrection; The Last Things Burial and Ressurection; Eternal Life; Resurrection Used With Tune: [It is not death to die]

My soul be on thy guard
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1,374 hymnals Lyrics: 1 My soul, be on thy guard;
Ten thousand foes arise;
The hosts of sin are pressing hard
To draw thee from the skies.
2 O watch, and fight, and pray!
The battle ne'er give o'er;
Renew it boldly every day,
And help divine implore.
3 Ne'er think the victory won,
Nor lay thine armor down;
Thine arduous work will not be done
Till thou obtain thy crown.
4 Fight on, my soul, till death
Shall bring thee to thy God:
He'll take thee, at thy parting breath,
To His divine abode. Topics: Conflict; Watchfulness Used With Tune: ST. BRIDE
My soul be on thy guard
Make Me a Captive, Lord
Author: George Matheson Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Make me a captive, Lord,
and then I shall be free;
force me to render up my sword,
and I shall conqueror be.
2 I sink in life's alarms
when by myself I stand;
imprison me within thine arms,
and strong shall be my hand.
3 My heart is weak and poor
until it master find;
it has no spring of action sure--
it varies with the wind.
4 It cannot freely move
till thou hast wrought its chain;
enslave it with thy matchless love,
and deathless it shall reign.
5 My will is not my own
till thou hast made it thine;
if it would reach a monarch's throne,
it must its crown resign.

in majesty most bright,
appareled in omnipotence,
and girded round with might.
2 The world established stands
on its foundations broad;
your throne is fixed, you reign supreme,
the everlasting God.
3 The seas have lifted up
their voice in majesty,
but God on high, supreme in might,
is greater than the sea.
4 Your testimonies, Lord,
in faithfulness excel,
and holy must your servants be
who in your temple dwell.
