All Hail The Coming Son Of God

Author: James M. Gray Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #11798 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 All hail the coming Son of God, He’s coming back again; He’s coming in the clouds of heaven He’s coming back to reign! He’s coming in the clouds of heaven He’s coming back to reign! 2 Sinners whose sins are washed away, Nor left a single stain, Go, hail the advent of your Lord; He’s coming back to reign! Go, hail the advent of your Lord; He’s coming back to reign! 3 Let every kindred, every tribe, Free of creation’s pain, Aloud acclaim His welcome back— He’s coming back to reign! Aloud acclaim His welcome back— He’s coming back to reign! 4 Ah! soon with all the ransomed throng, Beholding Him once slain, We’ll see the rolling cloud, and shout, He’s coming back to reign! We’ll see the rolling cloud, and shout, He’s coming back to reign! Languages: English Tune Title: CORONATION

James M. Gray

1851 - 1935 Author of "All Hail The Coming Son Of God" in The Cyber Hymnal Born: May 11, 1851, New York City. Died: September 21, 1935, Passavant Hospital, Chicago, Illinois.

In 1879 he became Rector of the First Reformed Episcopal Church in Boston, Massachusetts, where he served 14 years. He then became dean (1904-25) and president (1925-34) of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Illinois, and directed publication of four editions (1921-28) of the Voice of Thanksgiving, official hymnal of the Institute. A conservative theologian, Gray was one of seven editors of the popular Scofield Reference Bible. He was a fine scholar and excellent Bible teacher, but his interests went beyond mere academics. He promoted the Sunday School, and took an interest in civic affairs and patriotic causes. He backed efforts at social betterment, supported Prohibition, and wrote about 20 books --www.hymntime.com/tch/

Oliver Holden

1765 - 1844 Composer of "CORONATION" in The Cyber Hymnal Holden, Oliver, one of the pioneers of American psalmody, was born in 1765, and was brought up as a carpenter. Subsequently he became a teacher and music-seller. He died at Charlestown, Massachusetts, 1844. His published works are American Harmony, 1793; the Worcester Collection, 1797; and other Tune books. One of his most popular tunes is "Coronation." It is thought that he edited a small hymn-book, published at Boston before 1808, in which are 21 of his hymns with the signature "H." A single copy only of this book is known, and that is without title-page. Of his hymns the following are in common use:— 1. All those who seek a throne of grace. [God present where prayer is offered.] Was given in Peabody's Springfield Collection, 1835, No. 92, in a recast form as, “They who seek the throne of grace." This form is in extensive use in America, and is also in a few collections in Great Britain. 2. With conscious guilt, and bleeding heart. [Lent.] This, although one of the best of Holden's hymns, has passed out of use. It appeared, with two others, each bearing bis signature, in the Boston Collection (Baptist), 1808. 3. Within these doors assembled now. [Divine Worship.] [Rev. F. M. Bird, M.A.] -- John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology
