Hymn

I don’t think I can add any comment to this, the song, and it’s lyrics stand for themselves.

Who needs drums and guitars?

It seems that nowadays, churches want to be modern, relevant and entertaining when it comes to the subject of music. These are three things which Christ never required of His Church and never ordained. Perhaps this was becase there was never any need for drums and guitars when man’s voice can create such beautiful sounds and harmonies by itself.

O the night of time shall soon pass away,
When the Lord shall come for me;
When the pilgrim’s staff shall be laid aside,
When the Lord shall come for me.

Chorus:

When the Lord shall come for me,
And His nail pierced hands I see,
Will my soul be washed in His precious blood,
When the Lord shall come for me.

O the happy day that shall gild the hills,
When the Lord shall come for me;
O the happy hearts that shall welcome Him,
When the Lord shall come for me.

(Chorus)

What a joyful time when the earth shall gleam,
When the Lord shall come for me;
When the saints shall sing unto Christ, their King,
When the Lord shall come for me.

(Chorus)

Aldine Silliman Kieffer
