THE COMING LORD
Hymn by a Former Student of the Bible Institute Tune: “Stella”
GOD of love, Thine eyes look down On blood-stained field and shattered town; The widow’s tears, the orphan’s cry, The wounded soldier’s agony, Are known to Thee. Thy children’s woes Are not forgot: their Father knows. Great Judge of all, defend the right; Cause right to triumph by Thy might. Our righteousness we dare not plead; Yet save us in our utmost need. Our sins are many in Thy sight: Forgive us, and defend the right. For those we love, O Lord, we ask That thou wilt help them in their task: ’Tis Thine tov save alive or kill; Bring them safe home, if such Thy will.
And may they trust, amid the strife, In Christ, who gives eternal life. ' Lord God of hosts, whose mighty will Makes wrath of man to praise Thee still, By this shed blood, these bitter tears, Prepare the coming of those years When righteousness and peace shall reign O’er hill and valley, sea and plain. Jehovah God, Thy promise stands, Whate’er the fate of kings or lands. Before the dawn the night grows dark: Awake Thy Church on earth to mark, ’Mid lust and hate, ’mid fire and sword, The nearness of her coming Lord. C arment U rquhart . India, June, 1915.
