Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders

Author: John Newton Hymnal: HOoS1926 #610 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 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, how the summons, Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for His appearing Then shall say, "This God is mine!" Gracious Saviour, 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, careless sinner What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessèd, Loved, and served the Lord below; He will say, "Come near ye blessèd, See the kingdom I bestow! You forever, you forever, Shall my love and glory know." Amen.

Great God, What Do I See and Hear!

Author: William Bengo Collyer Hymnal: HOoS1926 #611 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 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 the 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; They trembling stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 Thou who hast died 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. Amen.

Wake, Arise! a Voice Appalling

Author: Johann Olof Wallin; Philipp Nicolai Hymnal: HOoS1926 #612 (1926) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Lyrics: 1 Wake, arise! a voice appalling In solemn majesty is calling To all the deeps of earth and sea. Wake, arise, ye dead unnumbered, That in your silent graves have slumbered, Released from toil and agony. God's voice is heard at last; The night of death is past, Day is dawning, The Lord's great day, That dreadful day, When judgment shall be passed for aye. 2 Earth and sea and sky shall tremble, The angels of the Lord assemble, When Christ in glory comes again. Mountains fall, and deeps are yawning When in eternity's dread dawning He comes to judge the sons of men. There shall be joy and tears, And hope shall blend with fears, But the faithful Shall enter bold The Shepherd's fold, And all receive their crowns of gold. 3 Christ, Thy coming all shall gladden Who in Thy footsteps here have trodden Upon Thy thorny path below. Palms for thorns shall then be given; And, waiting for the joys of heaven, Contented to my grave I go. The little while I sleep, Thy angels vigil keep, Till Thou comest My soul to wake And, for Thy sake, My spirit into bliss to take. Amen.

That Day of Wrath, That Dreadful Day

Author: Sir Walter Scott Hymnal: HOoS1926 #613 (1926) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heav'n and earth shall pass away, What pow'r shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? 2 When, shriveling like a parchèd scroll, The flaming heavens together roll; When louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the dead: 3 Lord, on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay, Be Thou the trembling sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away. Amen. Topics: Last Things Resurrection and Judgment Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CROSS

The Day Is Surely Drawing Near

Author: Bartholomäus Ringwaldt; Augustus Nelson Hymnal: HOoS1926 #614 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near, When He, the Lord's Anointed, Will with great majesty appear, As Judge of all appointed. No more the gospel call is heard To turn from sin and heed God's Word: The day of grace is ended. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound, And all the earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken. But all that live shall in that hour, By the Almighty’s boundless power And at His word be changéd. 3 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord, And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word, And loved their earthly treasures, With shame and trembling they shall stand, And at the Judge's stern command Depart from Him forever. 4 O Christ, my Intercessor be, And for Thy death and merit Declare my name from judgment free With all who life inherit; That with my brethren I may stand With Thee in heaven, our fatherland, Which Thou for us hast purchased. 6 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay, O hasten our salvation! We often tremble on our way, In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee: Come, mighty Judge, come, make us free From every evil. Amen! Amen.

Ten Thousand Times Ten Thousand

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: HOoS1926 #617 (1926) Meter: 7.6.8.6 D Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of alleluias Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power, and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come.

When I Can Read My Title Clear

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: HOoS1926 #618 (1926) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When I can read my title clear To mansions in the skies, I bid farewell to ev'ry fear, And wipe my weeping eyes, And wipe my weeping eyes. 2 Should earth against my soul engage, And hellish darts be hurled, Then I can smile at Satan’s rage, And face a frowning world, And face a frowning world. 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come, And storms of sorrow fall, May I but safely reach my home, My God, my heaven, my all! My God, my heaven, my all! 4 There shall I bathe my weary soul In seas of heavenly rest, And not a wave of trouble roll Across my peaceful breast, Across my peaceful breast. Amen.

Author: Elizabeth (King) Mills Hymnal: HOoS1926 #619 (1926) Lyrics: 1 We speak of the realms of the blest, That country so bright and so fair, And oft are its glories confessed, But what must it be to be there! 2 We speak of its pathways of gold, Its walls decked with jewels so rare, Its wonders and pleasures untold, But what must it be to be there! 3 We speak of its freedom from sin, From sorrow, temptation, and care, From trials without and within, But what must it be to be there! 4 We speak of its service of love, The robes which the glorified wear, The Church of the first-born above, But what must it be to be there! 5 Do Thou, Lord, 'mid sorrow and woe, Still for heaven my spirit prepare, And shortly I also shall know And feel what it is to be there.
