Day of wrath, that day of mourning!

Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, that day of mourning! See fulfilled the Prophet's warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth When from heaven the Judge descendeth On whose sentence all dependeth! 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Through earth's sepulchers it ringeth, All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking; All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo, the book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, kind Jesus! my salvation Caused Thy wondrous incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me; On the cross of suffering bought me; Shall such grace in vain be brought me? 11 Righteous Judge of retribution, Grant Thy gift of absolution Ere that day's dread execution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning: Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the women gav'st remission, Heard'st the dying thief's petition; Hopeless else were my condition. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With Thy favored sheep, O place me! Nor amid the goats abase me: But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Bows my heart in meek submission, Strewn with ashes of contrition; Succor Thou my lost condition! 18 Day of sorrow, day of weeping, When in dust no longer sleeping, Man awakes in Thy dread keeping! 19 To the rest Thou didst prepare me, On Thy cross, O Christ, upbear me! Spare, O God, in mercy spare me! Topics: Judgment

Not what these hands have done

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Not what these hands have done Can save this guilty soul; Not what this toiling flesh has borne Can make my spirit whole. 2 Not what I feel or do Can give me peace with God; Not all my prayers and sighs and tears Can bear my awful load. 3 Thy work alone, O Christ, Can ease this weight of sin; Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, Can give me peace within. 4 Thy love to me, O God, Not mine, O Lord, to Thee, Can rid me of this dark unrest, And set my spirit free. 5 Thy grace alone, O God, To me can pardon speak; Thy power alone, O Son of God, Can this sore bondage break. 6 I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love Divine; And, with unfaltering lip and heart, I call this Savior mine.

Thy Word the choicest rules imparts To keep the conscience clean. 2 'Tis like the sun, a heavenly light, That guides us all the day; And through the dangers of the night A lamp to lead our way. 3 The starry heavens Thy rule obey, The earth maintains her place; And these Thy servants, night and day, Thy skill and power express. 4 But still Thy Law and Gospel, Lord, Have lessons more divine; Not earth stands firmer than Thy Word, Nor stars so nobly shine. 5 Thy Word is everlasting truth: How pure is every page! That holy Book shall guide our youth, And well support our age. Topics: God's Word

To those who fall, how kind Thou art, How good to those who seek! 4 But what to those who find? Ah! this Nor tongue nor pen can show; The love of Jesus, what it is, None but His loved ones know. 5 Jesus, our only Joy be Thou!

The Head that once was crowned with thorns

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 523 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Head that once was crowned with thorns Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. 2 The highest place that heaven affords Is His by sovereign right, The King of kings and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. 3 The Joy of all who dwell above, The Joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love And grants His name to know. 4 To them the cross, with all its shame, With all its grace, is given; Their name, an everlasting name, Their joy the joy of heaven. 5 They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above, Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. 6 The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme.

Lord, grant that we e'er pure retain

Behold a Stranger at the door!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 626 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Behold a Stranger at the door! He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still: You treat no other friend so ill. 2 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very friend you need: The friend of sinners -- yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 3 O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 4 Admit Him, lest His anger burn, And He, departing, ne'er return: Admit Him, or the hour's at hand, When, at His door, denied you'll stand.
