Our Like Is Like A Vapor, Gone
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16086 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Our life is like a vapor, gone Lyrics: 1 Our life is like a vapor, gone,
Our moments swiftly fly;
Lo, scarce our sands begin to run,
Ere we begin to die.
2 Our days on earth are but a span,
A sudden breath of air;
Lord, what a brittle thing is man,
How vain is mortal care.
3 Various unnumbered ills attend
Our weak and helpless frame,
Our fleeting life, so soon it ends,
lt scarce deserves the name.
4 No weaver’s shuttle moves so fast,
No stream so swiftly flows;
Time bears us on with rapid haste,
To endless joys or woes.
5 See, sickness, sorrow round us wait,
And nature is infirm;
Our age to seventy years is set,
Alas, how short the term!
6 Or, should we by uncommon strength
To fourscore years attain,
Yet feebleness will come at length,
And bring disease and pain.
7 Oh may I learn the heav’nly art,
T’improve each passing hour;
And what my hands shall find to do,
Dispatch with all my power. Languages: English Tune Title: CAMPMEETING

Awake, Believing Souls, Awake
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16087 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Awake, believing souls, awake Lyrics: 1 Awake, believing souls, awake,
Your solemn vows renew,
To Him who died upon the cross,
And pleads in Heav’n for you.
2 Awake, my dull inactive soul,
Nor more indulge delay;
Let acts of piety and love
Mark each revolving day.
3 Each day of this new year, would I
Devote, oh God to Thee;
Each day of this new year, do Thou
Impart new strength to me. Languages: English Tune Title: EAGLEY

Another Year Is Quickly Gone
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16088 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Another year is quickly gone Lyrics: 1 Another year is quickly gone,
With its revolving days,
And yet how little have I done,
For my creator’s praise!
2 I have a warfare to maintain,
Against the world and sin;
But oh, what little ground I gain,
How slothful have I been.
3 My sands, alas, how fast they run,
How swift my moments fly;
And yet my work is scarce begun,
Now death approaches nigh.
4 My heart is hard and stubborn still,
My wild affections rove;
Grace has but half subdued my will,
But half obtained my love.
5 God’s holy laws I still transgress,
His righteous will oppose;
My follies every day increase,
My debt still larger grows.
6 Impartial Judge, how shall I bear
Thy scrutinizing view?
Oh may I better live this year,
Or never live it through! Languages: English Tune Title: EVAN
Another Year Is Quickly Gone
Thy Greatness, Lord
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16103 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Thy greatness, Lord, what thought can reach Lyrics: 1 Thy greatness, Lord, what thought can reach,
What mortal tongue can tell?
Thy throne is fixed, Thy power extends,
O’er Heaven and earth and hell.
2 Who can evade or who resist,
The vengeance of a God?
Thy wrath vindictive, once provoked,
Spreads terror all abroad.
3 The wide dominion and the power,
The sovereignty is Thine;
‘Tis Thine the universe to rule,
With majesty divine.
4 To Thee, by all the hosts of Heaven,
By all the human race,
Be everlasting honors given,
And universal praise. Languages: English Tune Title: MAITLAND
Thy Greatness, Lord
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
Author: Harold I. Donnelly Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16105 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: I know that my Redeemer lives Lyrics: 1 I know that my Redeemer lives,
The Lord of liberty;
I trust the pledge of life He gives
For all eternity.
2 O Lord, I would that I might live
A fearless life and free;
Rich in the joy that Thou dost give,
Now and eternally.
3 O Lord, I would live straight and strong
In body, soul, and mind;
Unbound by habits that are wrong;
Joyous, and true, and kind.
4 O Lord, my God, I would love Thee
With all my strength, each day;
And in Thy Son, my Savior see
The Life, the Truth, the Way.
5 I trust the pledge of life He gives—
Eternal, full, and free;
I know that my Redeemer lives,
And shares His life with me. Languages: English Tune Title: BRADFORD

When God Comes Forth
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16115 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When God comes forth, with terrors clad Lyrics:
1 When God comes forth, with terrors clad,
From His resplendent seat,
What mortal can His power evade,
His arm of vengeance meet?
2 Impetuous lightnings swiftly glide,
Hoarse thunders round Him roar;
Lo, tempests, storms rage far and wide,
And spread from shore to shore.
3 The sea its wonted bed forsakes,
And stars come rushing down;
The earth to its foundation shakes,
And sinks beneath His frown.
4 Now sinners, pierced with guilty stings,
Dread His avenging eye;
And mighty conquerors, potent kings,
To rocks and caverns fly.
5 In Jesus’ spotless righteousness,
Oh may I then appear;
And ’midst the terror and distress,
I need not yield to fear.

When God Comes Forth
He Comes, He Comes! The Son Of God
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16116 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1 He comes, He comes! the Son of God
Descends from yonder sky;
Bright clouds compose His lofty seat,
And round Him angels fly.
2 Millions of millions trembling stand
Before His awful throne,
Summoned a strict account to give,
Of works which they have done.
3 Oh then may all my fears subside,
My sins and sorrows end,
And in the Judge may I behold
My Savior and my friend.

He Comes, He Comes! The Son Of God
Lo! in the last of days behold
Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16117 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics:
1 Lo! in the last of days behold
A faithless race arise;
Their lawless lust their only rule;
And thus the scoffer cries:
2 “Where is the promise, deemed so true,
That spoke the Savior near?
E’er since our fathers slept in dust,
No change has reached our ear.
3 "Years rolled on years successive glide,
Since first the world began,
And on the tide of time still floats,
Secure, the bark of man."
4 Thus speaks the scoffer; but his words
Conceal the truth he knows,
That from the waters’ dark abyss
The earth at first arose.
5 But when the sons of men began
With one consent to stray,
At Heav’n’s command a deluge swept
The godless race away.
6 A different fate is now prepared
For nature’s trembling frame;
Soon shall her orbs be all enwrapt
In one devouring flame.
7 Reserved are sinners for the hour
When to the gulf below,
Armed with the hand of sovereign power,
The Judge consigns His foe.
8 Though now, ye just! the time appears
Protracted, dark, unknown,
An hour, a day, a thousand years,
To Heaven’s great Lord are one.
9 Still all may share His sovereign grace,
In every change secure;
The meek, the suppliant contrite race,
Shall find His mercy sure.
10 The contrite race He counts His friends,
Forbids the suppliant’s fall;
Condemns reluctant, but extends
The hope of grace to all.
11 Yet as the night-wrapped thief who lurks
To seize th’expected prize,
Thus steals the hour when Christ shall come,
And thunder rend the skies.
12 Then at the loud, the solemn peal,
The heav’ns shall burst away;
The elements shall melt in flame,
At nature’s final day.
13 Since all this frame of things must end,
As Heav’n has so decreed,
How wise our inmost thoughts to guard,
And watch over every deed;
14 Expecting calm th’appointed hour,
When, nature’s conflict o’er,
A new and better world shall rise,
Where sin is known no more.

Great God, The Terrors Of Thy Wrath
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16118 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Great God, the terrors of Thy wrath Lyrics:
1 Great God, the terrors of Thy wrath,
What mortal tongue can tell?
A fiery stream comes issuing forth,
And lights the flames of hell.
2 No mitigation can it know,
Nor ever have an end;
Its greatness and duration, too,
All finite thought transcend.
3 But Thou, oh Lord, hast formed a plan,
Replete with wondrous grace.
To raise the fallen creature, man,
To perfect happiness.
4 Through the atonement of my Lord,
All sin may be forgiv’n;
‘Tis He removes the flaming sword,
Which barred the way to Heaven.
5 Should all the pow’rs of earth and hell
Their force against me join,
His cross will all my fears dispel,
And fill with peace divine.

Great God, The Terrors Of Thy Wrath
When God Descends, A Streaming Fire
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16121 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: When God descends, a streaming fire Lyrics:
1 When God descends, a streaming fire
Attends Him through the sky;
Thick clouds compose His dark attire,
And vivid lightnings fly.
2 Impervious wreaths of smoke surround,
And hide His awful seat;
Incessant thunders roar around,
Or murmur at His feet.
3 ’Twas thus on Sinai’s lofty hill,
Jehovah once appeared;
The trumpet loud proclaimed His will,
And trembling Israel heard.
4 They trembling heard, but straight forgot
The terrors of the day;
They scarcely left the awful spot,
Before they went astray.
5 Their solemn vows they soon revoke,
False and ungrateful prove;
Forget the tempest, fire and smoke,
Their maker’s wrath and love.
6 What Sinai’s terrors ne’er could do,
That Sion’s God performs;
’Tis He creates our hearts anew,
And strengthens feeble worms.
7 He gently leads our wandering souls
In paths of righteousness;
And all our passions He controls,
By His all-powerful grace.
8 From Sinai we to Sion fly,
The city of our God;
Unawed and fearless we draw nigh,
And make it our abode.
