Prepare to meet God
Author: William B. Collyer Appears in 296 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:19 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 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;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.
4 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:
Beneath his cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepared to meet him.

Praise to the living God
Author: Max Landsberg, 1845-1928; Newton Mann, 1836-1926; William Channing Gannett, 1840-1923 Meter: 6.6.8.4 D Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: Deuteronomy 30:11-14 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the living God,
all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
and still the same:
the one eternal God
before what now appears,
the First, the Last, beyond all thought
his timeless years!
2 Formless, all lovely forms
declare his loveliness;
holy, no holiness of earth
can his express.
Behold the Lord of all:
creation speaks his praise,
and everywhere above, below,
his will obeys.
3 God's Spirit freely flows,
high surging where it will:
in prophet's word he spoke of old,
is speaking still.
Established is God's law
and changeless it shall stand,
deep written on the human heart,
on sea, on land.
4 God has eternal life
implanted in the soul;
his love shall be our strength and stay
while ages roll.
Praise to the living God,
all praise be to his name,
who was, and is, and is to be,
and still the same! Topics: Eternity of God; Faithfulness of God; Holy Spirit; Law of God; Majesty of God; Prophetic Witness; Providence; Word of God Used With Tune: LEONI Text Sources: Jewish Yigdal c. 13th cent.
