The Messenger

Author: Susie V. Aldrich Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7887 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: I may hear His voice at morning Lyrics: 1 I may hear His voice at morning, When the sky is softly bright, And a flood of golden glory Tinges every purple height; Ere my hands begin the labor Which belongeth to the day, I may hear Him softly whisper, Fold thy work and come away. 2 I may hear Him in the noontide, When the reapers take their rest, And the golden sheaves are lying Prostrate on the earth’s warm breast; In the overpowering brightness Of the glorious midday sun, He may come with shining sickle And life’s work for me be done. 3 I may hear Him in the midnight, As His voice of solemn cheer Pierces through the mystic silence, Whispering: Thy Guest is here; Rise and climb the upper pathway Where have walked the sons of God; I, the Messenger, will lead thee Safely where their feet have trod. 4 Since He may come in the morning, At the noon or eventide, I must have my garments ready, And my lamp with oil supplied; I must listen for His knocking, I must rise and ope the gate, For He comes to guide me safely Where the angels for me wait.

As Above The Darkest Storm Cloud

Author: Daniel H. Howard Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #8242 Lyrics: 1 As above the darkest storm cloud Shines the sun, serenely bright Waiting to restore to nature All the glory of his light, So, behind each cloud of sorrow, So, in each affliction, stands, Hid, an angel, with a blessing From the Father in his hand. 2 As without the tempest, pouring O’er the earth the welcome rain, All were but a fruitless desert, Barren sand for ripening grain, So if ne’er a cloud of sadness Veiled the sunshine of the soul, If affliction’s waves were never Suffered o’er the heart to roll. 3 Love and faith might fail forever To bring forth their fruits of peace; Heaven’s good seed of truth would perish In a thorny wilderness. So, with cloud and storm and tempest Grows our earthly summer dim, That the rebel heart, our Father Thus may win to turn to Him. Languages: English Tune Title: SANCTUARY

The Cry Of The Needy

Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9178 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D First Line: All the world this day is crying Lyrics: 1 All the world this day is crying To the Lord of all the earth; All Thy churches, Lord, are pleading, As they wait the glorious birth— Making new the earth and heaven, Long deferred, but promised long; Birth of nations to the glory That shall fill all lands with song. 2 Never was the world more needy, Human hearts more sad and poor; Crying blindly for a healer, Seeking not the heav’nly cure: Never was the harvest greater, Yet the reapers, where are they? Far and few, where need is greatest, Fainting in the heat of day. 3 Never did the Word shine brighter, With its beauty and its love, Drawing souls within its circle From the joys and songs above. Never did the great ensnarer Spread his spells with wiser skill, Turning light to darkness, mingling Sweet and bitter, good and ill. 4 Father, in tis day of weakness, Weary hand, and fainting knee, In this hour of fear and darkness, Now for help we turn to Thee! Let the sighing of the needy Come into Thy listening ear; Let Thy people, in their pleading, Know Thee gracious, find Thee near! 5 These our cries of sin and weakness On Thy mercy seat we lay, To Thy heav’nly love appealing, There we leave them, Lord, this day. There the sprinkled blood shall own them As we lay them at Thy feet, Perfumed with the priestly fragrance, Incense ever pure and sweet. 6 Golden vials full of odors, Sending up their fragrant breath, Bear into Thy heav’nly temple These our broken cries beneath. From that temple where He dwelleth, He our priest and king above, Let the never ending answer Daily come in joy and love. 7 For the earth, with all its kingdoms Far and near, this day we cry; Light of light, dispel the darkness With the Dayspring from on high! For Thy Church of every nation, For each saint on earth we plead, Give the fullness of Thy Spirit, Give the life and light we need. 8 Unto Him, then, who is able Thus to do for us this day Far beyond what we can ask for, Unto Him be praise for aye; Praise to the Eternal Father, Praise to the Eternal Son, Praise to the Eternal Spirit, Praises to the Three in One!

Who Is This That Comes From Edom?

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14557 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom? Clad in robes with carnage stained; Bringing victory and freedom By His martial prowess gained? ’Tis the Captain of salvation Who is conquering in the fight, Rescuing a lost creation By His unassisted might. 2 Lord, the course Thou art pursuing Is a course of glorious gain; But the work which Thou art doing Is a work of bitter pain; In a Passion-tide beginning, It will lead to bright renown; By it Thou a way art winning To an everlasting crown. 3 Through Thy cloud of shame and sorrow Bright gleams of light appear; Whence we hope and comfort borrow In our griefs and struggles here; Thou dost conquer death by dying; By Thy death we ever live; And to us in darkness lying Thou dost endless glory give. 4 Cruel hands of sinners bound Thee, Thou a sinful world hast freed; They with thorns in mockery crowned Thee, Placing in Thy hand a reed; Now a starry crown Thou wearest, Heav’nly King, almighty Lord; Scepter of the world Thou bearest, And by angels art adored. 5 Glory be to God the Father, Who has giv’n His only Son; And in Christ did all men gather To Himself, and make them one; And to Him, who by His merit Gained for us the victory, And to God the Holy Spirit, Glory, endless glory, be.
