Not by us, Yahweh, not by us,
by You alone is glory deserved,
by Your love and Your faithfulness,
by Your love and Your faithfulness!
Not by us, Yahweh, not by us,
by You alone is glory deserved.
Song based on Psalm 115, Jerusalem Bible
God is working His purpose out
as year succeeds to year:
God is working His purpose out,
and the time is drawing near;
nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as waters cover the sea.
All we can do is nothing worth
unless God blesses the deed;
vainly we hope for the harvest tide
till God gives life to the seed;
yet nearer and nearer draws the time,
the time that shall surely be,
when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God
as waters cover the sea.
A. C. Ainger, 1894
Hymn 538, The Hymnal 1940
μακαριος ο αναγινωσκων και οι ακουοντες τους λογους της προφητειας και τηρουντες τα εν αυτη γεγραμμενα ο γαρ καιρος εγγυς
ΑΠΟΚΑΛΥΨΙΣ ΙΩΑΝΝΟΥ 1
Happy the man who reads this prophecy aloud, and happy those who listen to him if they treasure all that it says, because the Time is close.
Revelation 1:3 Jerusalem Bible
