Through sorrow's night and danger's path

Hymnal: BW1870 #565 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Though sorrow's night and danger's path, Amid the deep'ning gloom, We soldiers of an injured King Are marching to the tomb. 2 There, when the turmoil is no more, And all our powers decay, Our cold remains in solitude Shall sleep the years away. 3 Our labors done, securely laid In this our last retreat, Unheeded o'er our silent dust The storms of life shall beat. 4 Yet not thus lifeless, thus inane, The vital spark shall lie, For o'er life's wreck that spark shall rise To seek its kindred sky. 5 These ashes too, this little dust, Our Father's care shall keep, Till the last angel rise, and break The long and dreary sleep. 6 Then love's soft dew o'er every eye Shall shed its mildest rays, And the long silent dust shall burst With shouts of endless praise.

Lo! He comes in clouds descending

Hymnal: BW1870 #566 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Lo! He comes with clouds descending, Once for favor'd sinners slain; Thousand, thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah, Jesus now shall ever reign! 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at nought and sold Him, Pierced and nail'd Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the great Messiah see! 3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain, Heaven and earth shall flee away: All who hate Him must, confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day; Come to judgment! Come to judgment! come away! 4 Now redemption, long expected, See in solemn pomp appear! All His saints by man rejected, Now shall meet Him in the air! Hallelujah! See the day of God appear! 5 Yea! amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne; Saviour! take the power and glory; Claim the kingdoms for Thine own! Oh, come quickly! Hallelujah! come, Lord, come! Topics: Future Punishment; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ; Wicked doom of Languages: English

The day of wrath, that dreadful day

Hymnal: BW1870 #567 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away-- What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? 2 When, shriv'ling like a parchéd scroll, The flaming heavens together roll, When louder yet, and yet more dread, Resounds the trump that wakes the dead? 3 Oh, on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away.

Thou Judge of quick and dead

Hymnal: BW1870 #568 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Thou Judge of quick and dead, Before whose bar severe, With holy joy, or guilty dread, We all shall soon appear: 2 Our anxious souls prepare For that tremendous day; And fill us now with watchful care, And stir us up to pray. 3 To pray, and wait the hour, That awful hour unknown, When, robed in majesty and power, Thou shalt from heaven come down. 4 Oh, may we all be found Obedient to Thy word-- Attentive to the trumpet’s sound, And looking for our Lord! 5 Oh, may we thus ensure A home among the blest; And watch a moment, to secure An everlasting rest!

When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come

Hymnal: BW1870 #569 (1870) Lyrics: 1 When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come To call Thy ransom'd people home, Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at Thy right hand? 2 I love to meet among them now, Before Thy gracious feet to bow, Though vilest of them all; But, can I bear the piercing thought? What if my name should be left out, When Thou for them shalt call? 3 Prevent it, Lord, by Thy rich grace; Be Thou my soul's sure hiding-place, In this, th'accepted day; Thy pard'ning voice, oh, let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear; Nor let me fall, I pray. 4 Let me among Thy saints be found, Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound, To see Thy smiling face: Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing, While heaven's resounding mansions ring With shouts of sov'reign grace.

And will the Judge descend?

Hymnal: BW1870 #570 (1870) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 And will the Judge descend? And must the dead arise, And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes? 2 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day, When earth and heaven, before His face Astonish'd shrink away? 3 But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead, Hark, from the gospel's gentle voice, What joyful tidings spread? 4 Ye sinners, seek His grace, Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of His cross, And find salvation there. 5 So shall that curse remove, By which the Saviour bled; And the last awful day shall pour His blessings on your head.

Day of judgment--day of wonders

Hymnal: BW1870 #571 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment--day of wonders, Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! You who long for His appearing, Then shall say, "This God is mine!" Gracious Saviour! Own me on that day for Thine! 3 At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature, shaken By His looks, prepare to flee: Careless sinner! What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confesséd, Loved, and served the Lord below, He will say, "Come near, ye blesséd! See the kingdom I bestow! You forever Shall my love and glory know." Topics: Future Punishment; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ; Wicked doom of Languages: English

There is a land of pure delight

Hymnal: BW1870 #572 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-with'ring flowers: Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields, beyond the swelling flood, Stand dress'd in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan roll'd between. 4 But tim'rous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea; And linger, shiv'ring on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood, Should fright us from the shore.

High in yonder realms of light

Hymnal: BW1870 #573 (1870) Lyrics: 1 High in yonder realms of light Dwell the raptured saints above, Far beyond our feeble sight, Happy in Immanuel's love! 2 Pilgrims in this vale of tears, Once they knew, like us below, Gloomy doubts, distressing fears, Torturing pain, and heavy woe. 3 But, these days of weeping o'er, Past this scene of toil and pain, They shall feel distress no more, Never--never weep again. 4 ‘Mid the chorus of the skies, ‘Mid th’angelic lyres above, Hark--their songs melodious rise, Songs of praise to Jesus' love! 5 Happy spirits! ye are fled Where no grief can entrance find: Lull'd to rest the aching head, Soothed the anguish of the mind. 6 Ev'ry tear is wiped away-- Sighs no more shall heave the breast; Night is lost in endless day-- Sorrow--in eternal rest.
