John 14:8-11

• [Joh 14:8] Our Savior Will Descend Again

  Our Savior will descend again, Earth’s buried millions raising; With Him will come a glorious train, Adoring Him and praising. Refrain Raise high the song that loud and long Before Him ceaseth never, Till, casting down each golden crown, We worship Him forever. And though these bodies lie in dust Before that glad appearing, Yet shall they stand among the just, Our Savior’s image wearing. Refrain What, though earth’s gath’ring tempests lower, And ages pass in sadness? Yet we may see that glorious hour, And hail the dawn with gladness. Refrain Then, safe at last, this blessèd throng, Set free from tribulation, Shall ever praise in holy song, The God of their salvation. Refrain

• [Joh 14:9] Winter’s Sleep Was Long And Deep, The

  The winter’s sleep was long and deep, But earth is awakened and gay; For the life ne’er dies that from God doth rise, And the green comes after the grey. So God doth bring the world to spring; And on this holy day Doth the Church proclaim her Apostles’ fame, To welcome the first of May. Two saints of God went by the road That leadeth on to light; And they gave up all at their Master’s call, To work in their Master’s sight. Would Philip’s mind the Father find? Lo, he hath found the Way; For to know the Son is to know the One Whom the earth and the heavens obey. And James, ’twas thine by grace divine To preach the Christian life, Where our faith is shown by our works alone, And love overcometh strife. Lord, grant that we may brethren be— As Christians live in deed; For it is but so we can learn to know The truth that to Thee doth lead.
