The Darkness

Author: Matthew Bridges Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13841 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 First Line: O’er hill and vale and temple proud Lyrics: 1 O’er hill and vale and temple proud When Jesus died for man, There hung in air a sable shroud To mark the bitter ban— The ban of death on sinners laid, The dreadful debt Emmanuel paid! 2 Well might the sun of nature hide Its matchless lamp of light, And veil, while its Creator died, All radiancy in night: How could the smallest star illume The depth of such infernal gloom! 3 Oh! direful darkness—unalloyed, Of horror most profound— Emblem of what the cross destroyed And leveled with the ground; When, bursting through the reams of hell, It beamed with light ineffable! 4 Lord! by that darkness, from this soul All darkness roll away— Nor let a shade of sin control My progress t’wards the day: That day, with an unclouded sky, Of Heav’n—in full eternity!

It Will Not Come

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14563 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 First Line: "It will not come, it will not come" Lyrics: 1 "It will not come, it will not come"; They reck not of the flood. And wherefore with such weary toil Build up that pile of wood? How should thine ark e’er reach the sea? How on this midland floated be? 2 The sea’s great gulfs are broken up; Heav’n’s windows opened are; For forty days the rain prevails; The mountains disappear. The faithless die; the ark, their scorn, Safe on the flood, their grave, is borne. 3 Lord, give us willing hearts to hear Not this world’s voice, but Thine, To fear Thy warnings, and to love Thy means of grace divine; Go in Thine ark, and there abide, Unscarred by wind and foaming tide. 4 So when another flood shall come— Not water, but of fire— When in the billowy surge of flame, All nature shall expire, We in Thy heav’nly ark may be, Anchored on Ararat with Thee.
