O Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 O wherefore do the nations rage, and kings and rulers strive in vain, against the Lord of earth and heav'n to overthrow Messiah's reign? 2 Their strength is weakness in the sight of him who sits enthroned above; he speaks, and judgments fall on them who tempt his wrath and scorn his love. 3 By God's decree his Son receives the nations for his heritage; the conqu'ring Christ supreme shall reign as King of kings, from age to age. 4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, and serve the Lord with godly fear; with rev'rent joy confess the Son while yet in mercy he is near. 5 Delay not, lest his anger rise, and ye should perish in your way; lo, all that put their trust in him are blest indeed, and blest alway. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: SAXONY Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912; alt. 1990

A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. Used With Tune: ADESTE FIDELES

O Lord, thou Judge of all the earth

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 O Lord, thou Judge of all the earth, To whom all vengeance doth belong, Arise and show thy glory forth, Requite the proud, condemn the wrong. 2 How long, O Lord, in boastful pride Shall wicked men triumphant stand? How long shall they afflict thy saints And scorn thy wrath, thy dreadful hand? 3 Be wise, ye fools and brutish men; Shall not he see who formed the eye? Shall not he hear who formed the ear, And judge, who reigneth, God most high? 4 The Lord will judge in righteousness, From him all truth and knowledge flow; The foolish thoughts of wicked men, How vain they are the Lord doth know. 5 That man is blest whom thou, O Lord, With chastening hand dost teach thy will, For in the day when sinners fall That man in peace abideth still. 6 Unless the Lord had been my Help, My life had quickly passed away; But when my foot had almost slipped, O Lord, thy mercy was my stay. 7 Amid the doubts that fill my mind Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me; Can wickedness, though throned in might, Have fellowship, O Lord, with thee? 8 The wicked, in their might arrayed, Against the righteous join their power, But to the Lord I flee for help, He is my Refuge and my Tower. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 94:8-13 Used With Tune: BELOIT Text Sources: The Psalter, 1912

Beyond which, God Himself hath sworn, That he who goes is lost. 4 How far may we go on in sin? How long will God forbear? Where does hope end, and where begin The confines of despair? 5 An answer from the skies is sent: "Ye that from God depart, While it is called to-day, repent And harden not your heart."
