Disciples of Christ -- Hymns; Hymns, English
3 May every heart with gladness,
Thine offered grace receiving,
Now cease from sin,
And pure within,
Have peace, in thee believing.
4 Then, when thou comest to judgment,
On flying clouds descending,
May we rejoice
When, at thy voice,
The solid earth is rending.
599 7s.
I, the Lord, will hasten it in his time.
Isaiah 60:22.
Hasten, Lord! the glorious time,
When, beneath Messiah’s sway,
Every nation, every clime,
Shall the gospel call obey.
2 Mightiest kings his power shall own,
Heathen tribes his name adore;
Satan and his host, o’erthrown,
Bound in chains shall hurt no more.
3 Then shall wars and tumults cease,
Then be banished grief and pain;
Righteousness, and joy, and peace,
Undisturbed shall ever reign.
4 Bless we, then, our gracious Lord!
Ever praise his glorious name;
All his mighty acts record,
All his wondrous love proclaim.
600 7s, double.
Rev. 19:6.
Hark! the song of Jubilee,
Loud as mighty thunders roar,
Or the fullness of the sea,
When it breaks upon the shore!
Hallelujah! for the Lord
God omnipotent, shall reign!
Hallelujah! let the word
Echo round the earth and main.
2 Hallelujah! hark, the sound,
From the depths unto the skies,
Wakes above, beneath, around,
All creation’s harmonies!
See Jehovah’s banner furled,
Sheathed his sword; he speaks—’tis done!
And the kingdoms of this world
Are the kingdoms of his Son!
3 He shall reign from pole to pole,
With illimitable sway;
He shall reign, when like a scroll
Yonder heavens have passed away.
Then the end: beneath his rod
Man’s last enemy shall fall:
Hallelujah! Christ in God,
God in Christ, is all in all!
601 8s & 7s.
Future peace and glory of the church.
Hear what God, the Lord, hath spoken:
O my people, faint and few,
Comfortless, afflicted, broken,
Fair abodes I build for you;
Scenes of heartfelt tribulation
Shall no more perplex your ways;
You shall name your walls salvation,
And your gates shall all be praise.
2 There, like streams that feed the garden,
Pleasures without end shall flow;
For the Lord, your faith rewarding,
All his bounty shall bestow;
Still in undisturbed possession
Peace and righteousness shall reign;
Never shall you feel oppression,
Hear the voice of war again.
3 You, no more your suns descending,
Waning moons no more shall see;
But, your griefs for ever ending,
Find eternal noon in me;
God shall rise, and shining o’er you,
Change to day the gloom of night;
He, the Lord, shall be your glory,
God your everlasting light.
