A Crowd Fills The Court Of The Temple

Author: Frederic W. Goadby Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A crowd fills the court of the temple, A sound as of praise stirs the air, Jerusalem thrills with emotion, The Lord of the temple is there! In vain is the priestly displeasure To silence the anthems that ring; Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! The children all joyfully sing. 2 And if in this temple of worship, Where now we are met in His name, The Lord should appear in His beauty, Himself His own Gospel proclaim, What anthems of grateful devotion Around Him would echo and ring; Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! The children would joyfully sing. 3 Lord! make each young heart Thine own temple, Reveal Thy sweet presence within, Illumine our minds by Thy coming, Expel every longing for sin: And when in our souls we adore Thee, How pure the glad praise we shall bring! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! The children will joyfully sing. 4 And when in that temple of glory, Where falls never shadow of night, Where sorrow and sin never sadden, And Thou shalt Thyself be the light; When round Thee the ransomed are thronging, High Heav’n with their praises will ring, Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! Thy children for ever will sing. Used With Tune: LYSTRA Text Sources: The School Hymnal by W. R. Stevenson (London: E. Marlborough & Company, 1880)

A Dread Hath Come on Me

Author: Simon Dach; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1. A dread hath come on me, I know not where to flee, My pow’rs can naught avail me; My trembling limbs grow weak, My lips refuse to speak, My heart and senses fail me. 2. For thinking on that sound That once shall pierce the ground And make its slumb’rers tremble, Arise! the day of doom Is come at last—is come! Before the judge assemble! 3. Ah God! no tempest’s shock That cleaves the solid rock Could make my spirit shiver As doth that awful tone; Were my heart steel or stone ’Twould hear that voice and quiver. 4. I eat, or wake, or sleep, I talk, or smile, or weep, Yet still that voice of thunder Is sounding through my heart— Forget not what thou art, The doom thou liest under! 5. For daily do I see How many deaths there be, How swiftly all things wither; How sickness fills the grave, Or fire, or sword, or wave Is sweeping thousands thither. 6. My turn will soon be here, The end is drawing near, I hear its warning plainly; Death knocketh at my door And tells me all is o’er, And I would fly him vainly. 7. Ah! who in this my strait Will be mine advocate? Will all things leave me friendless? My wealth and power are dust, This judge is ever just, His righteous doom is endless. 8. Lord Jesus Christ! ’tis Thou Alone canst help me now, But ’twas for this Thou camest, To save us in this hour— Then show Thy mercy’s power, For they are safe Thou claimest. 9. Speak Thou for me! Thou art The refuge of my heart; With gladness let me hear Thee; Bid me to Thee ascend, Where praise shall never end, And love shall aye be near Thee.

Sometime (Hewitt)

Author: Eliza Edmunds Hewitt Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: A voice is heard in the dewy dawn Refrain First Line: Beware! Beware! At the pearly gate Lyrics: 1. A voice is heard in the dewy dawn, And the call is sweet and low; Come now, my child to the Shepherd’s fold, Where the living waters flow; But the gay heart answers in careless tones, As light as the morning chime, Let me live for the world just a little while, I will come to God—sometime! Refrain Beware! Beware! At the pearly gate God may answer your sometime, too late! too late! Beware! Beware! At the pearly gate God may answer your sometime, too late! too late! 2. The day is nearing the noontide glow, And the voice is heard again, It calls the soul to a nobler life, ’Tis a patient, kind refrain; Enter now the Master’s broad harvest field, In the strength of your early prime, Come and bring to His work service good and true, Still the same reply—sometime! [Refrain] 3. The feet are treading the western slope, And the air is growing chill; O can it be God is waiting yet, That His voice is pleading still? That He’ll flood with beauty the sunset sky, Bright rays from the Golden Clime? But the sinner long hardened, has turned away, With the fatal word—sometime! [Refrain] 4. O soul, take heed, ere the shadows fall, And the day of grace be past, For how shall a trembling sinner stand By the gates of death at last? Hear the Savior’s call; at the Cross lay down Thy burden of guilt and crime, And the angels shall sing thee a sweeter song Than the sad refrain Sometime.

A Child For Us Is Born This Day

Author: Unknown Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 A child for us is born this day, The angels’ king is He; The Lord who over all has sway, Nursed here vouchsafes to be. 2 In manger where the asses fed The Child divine is laid; Whom they as Christ acknowledgèd, As King and Lord obeyed. 3 With joy the angels fillèd were, And with the Lord do sing; Glory to God above the sphere In tuneful notes does ring. 4 Then Herod, who with fear was seized, His envy great displays; With slaughtered babes must be appeased, Whose gore his fear allays. 5 Thou who wast born as on this day Of virgin Mary pure, Lead and conduct us in the way To joys which e’er endure.
