Great God, What do I See and Hear

Author: William Bengo Collyer, 1782-1854 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #331b (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 First Line: Great God, what do I see and hear! Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear? The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated. The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet Him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At that last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners filled with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing, For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing. The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 O Christ, who diedst and yet dost live, To me impart Thy merit; My pardon seal, my sins forgive, And cleanse me by Thy Spirit. Beneath Thy cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Thee. Topics: Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GEWISSLICH AN DER ZEIT

Eternity! Most Awful Word!

Author: Johann Rist, 1607-1667 Hymnal: HOoS1901 #332 (1901) Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Eternity! most awful word! Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity, unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime That to Thee I am tending: Deep horrors fill my quaking hear, My lips in speech refuse to part. 2 Eternity! oh what a pang! Eternity! No serpent's fang Could send that thrill of terror; When I revolve Thy clanking chains, The dark abyss of deathless pains, My soul is filled with horror. Oh, search this universe around, No equal terror can be found. 3 Awake, O man, from sinful sleep; Henceforth thy feet from wandering keep: Seek God by true repentance! Awake, behold thy wasting sand, Eternity is just at hand, And brings thine awful sentence. This is perchance thy final day: This hour thy soul may haste away. 4 Eternity! most awful word! Within the heart a piercing sword! Beginning without ending! Eternity! unmeasured time! I sink beneath the thought sublime, That I to thee am tending; Lord Jesus, when it pleaseth Thee, Grant me Thy blest eternity!

Abode of Peace

Author: Agatha Rosenius Hymnal: HOoS1901 #333 (1901) Meter: 11.10.11.10.8.8.7 First Line: Abode of peace, my Father's home forever! Lyrics: 1 Abode of peace, my Father’s home forever! My weary soul in faith doth yearn for Thee. I homeward look to Thee, my Lord and Saviour, To Thine abode of peace, eternally. There is on earth no peaceful rest; Our faith is weak, our souls oppressed, Our vision dim and failing, Our vision dim and failing. 2 The Lord be praised that time so swiftly flieth; God’s promise is fulfilled forevermore. Who on God’s Word and promises relieth Shall find at last the choicest wine in store. Forgotten then is all distress, Eternal peace and happiness Shall then be ours forever, Shall then be ours forever. 3 Then, keep my heart forever, O my Saviour, And let me never, Lord, from Thee depart. In joy, in pain, in sorrow, now and ever, Thou only givest solace to my heart. For when, O Lord, I am with Thee, All other comforts well may flee; With Thee I’m ever blesséd, With Thee I'm ever blesséd. Topics: Eternity Languages: English Tune Title: TILL FRIDENS HEM

Chorus: Oh, depth of mercy! can it be, That gate was left ajar for me? For me, for me? Was left ajar for me? 2 That gate ajar stands free for all Who seek through it salvation; The rich and poor, the great and small, Of every tribe and nation. [Chorus] 3 Press onward, then, though foes may frown, While mercy’s gate is open; Accept the cross and win the crown, Love’s everlasting token. [Chorus] 4 Beyond the river’s brink we’ll lay The cross that here is given, And bear the crown of life away, And love Him more in heaven.

Soon will our pilgrimage end here below, Soon to the presence of God we shall go, Then, if to Jesus our hearts have been given, Joyfully, joyfully, rest we in heaven. 2 Death with its arrows may soon lay us low, Safe in our Saviour, we fear not the blow; Jesus hath broken the bars of the tomb, Joyfully, joyfully, we will go home. Bright will the morn of eternity dawn, Death shall be conquered, his scepter be gone; Over the plains of sweet Canaan we'll roam, Joyfully, joyfully, safely at home. Amen.

[Chorus] 3 Sing, O my soul, and let thy pure devotion Rise to His throne, thy Saviour, Friend, and Guide; Sing of His love, that, like a mighty ocean, Flows unto thee and all the world beside.
