Romans 8:17-23

• [Rom 8:17] A Child Of The King

  My Father is rich in houses and lands, He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands! Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold, His coffers are full, He has riches untold. Refrain I’m a child of the King, A child of the King: With Jesus my Savior, I’m a child of the King. My Father’s own Son, the Savior of men, Once wandered on earth as the poorest of them; But now He is pleading our pardon on high, That we may be His when He comes by and by. Refrain I once was an outcast stranger on earth, A sinner by choice, an alien by birth, But I’ve been adopted, my name’s written down, An heir to a mansion, a robe and a crown. Refrain A tent or a cottage, why should I care? They’re building a palace for me over there; Though exiled from home, yet still may I sing: All glory to God, I’m a child of the King. Refrain

  Children of the heavenly King, As ye journey, sweetly sing; Sing your Savior’s worthy praise, Glorious in His works and ways We are traveling home to God, In the way the fathers trod; They are happy now, and we Soon their happiness shall see.

• [Rom 8:17] O That Will Be Glory

  When all my labors and trials are o’er, And I am safe on that beautiful shore, Just to be near the dear Lord I adore, Will through the ages be glory for me.

• [Rom 8:22] Almighty Father, Who Dost Give

  Almighty Father, who dost give The gift of life to all who live, Look down on all earth’s sin and strife, And lift us to a nobler life. Lift up our hearts, O King of kings, To brighter hopes and kindlier things; To visions of a larger good, And holier dreams of brotherhood. Thy world is weary of its pain; Of selfish greed and fruitless gain; Of tarnished honor, falsely strong, And all its ancient deeds of wrong. Hear Thou the prayer Thy servants pray, Uprising from all lands today, And o’er the vanquished powers of sin, O bring Thy great salvation in.

• [Rom 8:22] Christ Is Coming!

  Christ is coming! Let creation From her groans and travail cease; Let the glorious proclamation Hope restore and faith increase; Christ is coming! Christ is coming! Come, Thou blessèd Prince of Peace. Earth can now but tell the story Of Thy bitter cross and pain; She shall yet behold Thy glory, When Thou comest back to reign; Christ is coming! Christ is coming! Let each heart repeat the strain. Though once cradled in a manger, Oft no pillow but the sod; Here an alien and a stranger, Mocked of men, disowned of God. Christ is coming! Christ is coming! Come, Thou blessèd Prince of Peace! Long Thine exiles have been pining, Far from rest, and home, and Thee; But, in heav’nly vestures shining, They their loving Lord shall see; Christ is coming! Christ is coming! Haste the joyous jubilee. With that blessèd hope before us, Let no harp remain unstrung; Let the mighty advent chorus Onward roll from tongue to tongue: “Christ is coming! Christ is coming! Come, Lord Jesus, quickly come!”

• [Rom 8:22] Come, Lord, And Tarry Not

  Come, Lord, and tarry not; Bring the long looked for day; O why these years of waiting here, These ages of decay? Come, for Thy saints still wait; Daily ascends their sigh; The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come”; Does Thou not hear the cry? Come, for creation groans, Impatient of Thy stay, Worn out with these long years of ill, These ages of delay. Come, for love waxes cold, Its steps are faint and slow; Faith now is lost in unbelief, Hope’s lamp burns dim and low. Come in Thy glorious might, Come with the iron rod, Scattering Thy foes before Thy face, Most mighty Son of God! Come, and make all things new, Build up this ruined earth; Restore our faded Paradise, Creation’s second birth. Come, and begin Thy reign Of everlasting peace; Come, take the kingdom to Thyself, Great King of Righteousness.

• [Rom 8:22] Savior! Hasten Thine Appearing

  Savior! hasten Thine appearing; Take Thy waiting people home! ’Tis this hope, our spirits cheering, While we in the desert roam, Makes Thy people Strangers here till Thou shalt come. Lord! how long shall the creation Groan and travail sore in pain; Waiting for its sure salvation, When Thou shalt in glory reign, And like Eden, This sad earth shall bloom again? Reign, oh, reign! almighty Savior! Heaven and earth in one unite; Make it known that in Thy favor There alone is life and light. When we see Thee, We shall have unmixed delight.
