Lord, Speak to Me
That day of wrath, that dreadful day
Author: Walter Scott, 1771 - 1832 Hymnal: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America #298a (1958) Hymnal Title: Service Book and Hymnal of the Lutheran Church in America 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? A-men.
2 When, shrivelling 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: Sacraments and Rites Burial of the Dead Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF

Bow Down Thine Ear, O Lord and Hear

For I am poor and great my need;
Preserve my soul, for Thee I fear;
O God, Thy trusting servant heed.
2. O Lord, be merciful to me,
For all the day to Thee I cry;
Rejoice Thy servant, for to Thee
I lift my soul, O Lord most high.
3. For Thou, O Lord, art good and kind,
And ready to forgive Thou art;
Abundant mercy they shall find
Who call on Thee with all their heart.
4. O Lord, incline Thy ear to me,
My voice of supplication heed;
In trouble I will cry to Thee,
For Thou wilt answer when I plead.
5. There is no God but Thee alone,
Nor works like Thine, O Lord most high;
All nations shall surround Thy throne
And their Creator glorify.
6. In all Thy deeds how great Thou art!
Thou one true God, Thy way make clear;
Teach me with undivided heart
To trust Thy truth, Thy name to fear. Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF
Bow Down Thine Ear, O Lord and Hear
Terrible God, That Reign'st on High
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6565 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Terrible God, that reign’st on high,
How awful is Thy thundering hand!
Thy fiery bolts, how fierce they fly!
Nor can all earth or hell withstand.
2. This the old rebel angels knew,
And Satan fell beneath Thy frown;
Thine arrows struck the traitor through,
And weighty vengeance sunk him down.
3. This Sodom felt, and feels it still,
And roars beneath th’eternal load:
With endless burnings who can dwell?
Or bear the fury of a God?
4. Tremble ye sinners, and submit,
Throw down your arms before His throne;
Bend your heads low beneath His feet,
Or His strong hand shall crush you down.
5. And ye, blessed saints, that love Him too,
With reverence bow before His name;
Thus all His heav’nly servants do:
God is a bright and burning flame. Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF

The Mountains of Moab
Author: Horatius Bonar Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9242 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Dark hills of Moab! flinging down Lyrics: 1 Dark hills of Moab! flinging down
Your shadows on this gloomy vale;
Wild chasms! through which desert wind
Rushes, in everlasting wail.
2 Mountains of silence! keeping watch
Above this stagnant, sullen wave,
Where sunshine seems to smile in vain
O’er Sodom’s melancholy grave.
3 Day’s youngest beauty and its last
Bathes your broad foreheads, stern and bare;
Yet all unsoftened is their frown;
No cheer, no love, no beauty there.
4 I may not climb your awful slopes;
Yet, standing on this hungry shore,
By this poor reed-brake of the sand,
I count your shadows o’er and o’er.
5 In this lone lake, your ancient roots
Lie steeped in bitterness and death;
Your summits rise all verdureless,
Scorched by its hot and hellish breath.
6 Yon sea! its molten silver spreads,
And steams into the burning air;
Yon sunlight that across it plays,
How sad, and yet how strangely fair.
7 Haunt of old riot and lewd song,
When Sodom spread its splendor here;
O sea of wrath, how silent now!
The shroud of cities and their bier.
8 O valley of the shade of death!
O sea, of ancient sin the tomb!
O hills, sin’s hoary monument,
And type of the eternal doom!
9 Well might the prophet’s curse have come
From peaks where horrors only dwell;
And idol altars smoke on cliffs
That seem the very gates of hell!
10 And yet ye gaze on Judah’s vales,
Ye hear the rush of Jordan’s flood!
Ye looked on Zion’s palace hill,
And saw the temple of our God!

Behold God's Great Incarnate Son
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9436 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Behold God’s great incarnate Son Lyrics: 1 Behold God’s great incarnate Son
In majesty comes flying down:
Hark! for His trumpet’s awful sound
Awakes the dead, and cleaves the ground.
2 So solemn shall the judgment be,
And so severe the scrutiny,
That, by his merit tried alone,
The saint himself would be undone.
3 Where then, ye sons of Belial, where
Will your astonished souls appear?
How will ye shun His piecing sight?
Or how resist His matchless might?
4 Up to the pointed mountains fly,
And gain the confines of the sky;
There shall ye meet celestial fire,
While mountains melt before His ire.
5 Call on the rending earth to save,
And in its center search a grave;
The Judge shall well discern thee there,
And drag thee trembling to His bar.
6 Deck thee around with fraud and lies,
And put on every fair disguise;
Soon shall thy painted form be known
Amidst ten thousand of His own.
7 Gird thee in arms, His wrath t’oppose,
And league with millions of His foes;
Soon would the rebel band expire
Like crackling thorns amidst the fire.
8 One only way may yet be found;
Submissive bow ye to the ground:
His cross a refuge will afford
From all the terrors of His sword. Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF
Behold God's Great Incarnate Son
While Justice Waves Her Vengeful Hand
Author: Anne Steele Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9475 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 While Justice waves her vengeful hand
Tremendous o’er a guilty land,
Almighty God, Thy awful power,
With fear and trembling, we adore.
2 Where shall we fly, but to Thy feet?
Our only refuge is Thy seat;
Thy seat, where potent mercy pleads,
And holds Thy thunder from our heads.
3 While peace and plenty blessed our days,
Where was the tribute of Thy praise?
Ungrateful race! How have we spent
The blessings which Thy goodness lent?
4 Pale famine now, and wasting war,
With threatening frown Thy wrath declare;
But war and famine are Thy slaves,
Nor can destroy when mercy saves.
5 Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye,
Though loud our crimes for vengeance cry,
Let mercy’s tender voice prevail,
Nor let Thy long suffering patience fail.
6 Encouraged by Thy sacred Word,
May we not plead the blest record,
That when a humble nation mourns,
Thy rising wrath to pity turns.
7 O let Thy sovereign grace impart
Contrition to each rocky heart,
And bid sincere repentance flow,
A general, undissembled woe.
8 Our arms, O God of armies, bless,
Thy hand alone can give success;
And make our haughty neighbors know
That Heaven protects us from our foe.
9 Fair smiling peace again restore,
With plenty bless the pining poor,
And may a happy, thankful land
Obedient own Thy guardian hand. Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF

How Long Forgotten, Lord, By Thee?
Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9582 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: How long forgotten, Lord, by Thee Lyrics: 1 How long forgotten, Lord, by Thee,
Forbidden still Thy face to see,
Shall I, by daily grief distressed,
Take counsel with my doubtful breast?
2 How long amidst triumphant foes,
Who mock my agonizing woes,
To Heaven’s high throne must I complain
And seek the Lord my God in vain?
3 Consider, Lord, and hear my cries,
Pour light upon my troubled eyes,
Lest, yielding up my weary breath,
I sleep the dreamless sleep of death.
4 Lest o’er my fall the foe rejoice,
And cry with loud exulting voice:
Lo where he lies, a trampled clod,
Who vainly trusted in his God.
5 But I will ever trust Thee, Lord;
My joy is in Thy saving Word:
Thy tender mercies will I bless,
And sing of all Thy righteousness. Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF

Can Creatures To Perfection Find
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #9684 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1 Can creatures to perfection find
Th’ eternal, uncreated Mind?
Or can the largest stretch of thought
Measure and search His nature out?
2 ’Tis high as Heav’n, ’tis deep as hell
And what can mortals know or tell?
His glory spreads beyond the sky,
And all the shining worlds on high.
3 But man, vain man, would fain be wise;
Born like a wild young colt, He flies
Through all the follies of His mind,
And swells, and snuffs the empty wind.
4 God is a king of power unknown,
Firm are the orders of His throne;
If He resolve, who dares oppose,
Or ask him why or what He does?
5 He wounds the heart, and He makes whole
He calms the tempest of the soul;
When He shuts up in long despair,
Who can remove the heavy bar?
6 He frowns, and darkness veils the moon;
The fainting sun grows dim at noon;
The pillars of Heav’n’s starry roof
Tremble and start at His reproof.
7 He gave the vaulted Heav’n its form,
The crooked serpent, and the worm;
He breaks the billows with His breath,
And smites the sons of pride to death.
8 These are a portion of His ways;
But who shall dare describe His face?
Who can endure His light, or stand
To hear the thunders of His hand? Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF

Oh Merciful Creator, Hear Our Prayer
Author: Gregory I, 6th century; Drummond Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10929 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal First Line: Oh merciful Creator! Hear Lyrics: 1 Oh merciful Creator! Hear
Our prayer, to Thee devoutly bent,
Which we pour forth with many a tear
In this Thy holy fast of Lent!
2 Thou mildest searcher of the heart,
Who know’st the weakness of our strength,
To us forgiving grace impart,
That we may seek Thy face at length.
3 We all have sinned, we own our shame,
But spare us who our sins confess,
And for the glory of Thy name,
To our sick souls afford redress.
4 Grant that the flesh may be so pined,
By means of outward abstinence,
As that the sober watchful mind
May fast from spots of foul offense!
5 Grant this, O blessèd Trinity!
Pure Son of God! to this incline.
That of our fast the fruit may be
A grateful recompense for Thine! Languages: English Tune Title: LLEF
Oh Merciful Creator, Hear Our Prayer
