Come to Judgment

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: Come to judgment, come away Lyrics: 1. "Come to judgment, come away!" Hark, I hear the angel say, Summoning the dust to rise, "Haste, resume, and lift your eyes; Hear, ye sons of Adam, hear; Man, before thy God appear!" 2. Come to judgment, come away! This, the last, the dreadful day. Sovereign author, judge of all, Dust obeys Thy quickening call, Dust no other voice will heed, Thine the trump that wakes the dead. 3. Come to judgment, come away! Lingering man, no longer stay; Thee let Earth at length restore, Prisoner in her womb no more; Burst the barriers of the tomb, Rise to meet thy instant doom! 4. Come to judgment, come away! Wide dispersed howe’er he stray, Lost in fire, or air, or main, Kindred atoms meet again; Sepulchered where’er ye rest, Mixed with fish, or bird, or beast. 5. Come to judgment, come away! Help, O Christ, Thy works decay: Man is out of order hurled, Parceled out to all the world; Lord, Thy broken concert raise, And the music shall be praise.

God And Dig My Grave Today

Author: Ernst M. Arndt; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: Go and dig my grave today! Lyrics: 1 Go and dig my grave today! Weary of my wanderings all, Now from earth I pass away, For the heavenly peace doth call; Angel voices from above Call me to their rest and love. 2 Go and dig my grave today! Homeward doth my journey tend, And I lay my staff away Here where all things earthly end, And I lay my weary head In the only painless bed. 3 What is there I yet should do, Lingering in this darksome vale? Proud and mighty, fair to view, Are our schemes, and yet they fail, Like the sand before the wind, That no power of man can bind. 4 Farewell, earth, then; I am glad That in peace I now depart, For thy very joys are sad, And thy hopes deceive the heart; Fleeting is thy beauty’s gleam, False and changing as a dream. 5 And to you a last good night, Sun and moon, and stars so dear; Farewell all your golden light; I am travelling far from here, To the splendors of that day Where ye all must fade away. 6 Farewell, O ye much-loved friends! Grief hath smote you as a sword, But the Comforter descends Unto them that love the Lord. Weep not o’er a passing show, To th’ eternal world I go. 7 Weep not that I take my leave Of the world; that I exchange Errors that too closely cleave, Shadows, empty ghosts that range Through this world of naught and night, For a land of truth and light. 8 Weep not, dearest to my heart, For I find my Savior near, And I know that I have part In the pains He suffered here, When He shed His sacred blood For the whole world’s highest good. 9 Weep not, my Redeemer lives; Heavenward springing from the dust, Clear-eyed Hope her comfort gives; Faith, Heaven’s champion, bids us trust; Love eternal whispers nigh, "Child of God, fear not to die!"

Savior, Shine And Cheer My Soul

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, shine and cheer my soul, Bid my dying hopes revive; Make my wounded spirit whole, Far away the tempter drive: Speak the word and set me free, Let me live alone to Thee. 2 Shall I sigh and pray in vain, Wilt Thou still refuse to hear; Wilt Thou not return again, Must I yield to black despair? Thou hast taught my heart to pray, Canst Thou turn Thy face away? 3 Once I thought my mountain strong, Firmly fixed no more to move; Then Thy grace was all my song, Then my soul was filled with love: Those were happy golden days, Sweetly spent in prayer and praise. 4 When my friends have said, "Beware, Soon or late you’ll find a change"; I could see no cause for fear, Vain their caution seemed and strange: Not a cloud obscured my sky, Could I think a tempest nigh? 5 Little, then, myself I knew, Little thought of Satan’s power; Now I find their words were true, Now I feel the stormy hour! Sin has put my joys to flight, Sin has changed my day to night. 6 Satan asks, and mocks my woe, "Boaster, where is now your God?" Silence, Lord, this cruel foe, Let him know I’m bought with blood: Tell him, since I know Thy name, Though I change, Thou art the same. Used With Tune: ARFON Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W.

Weary, Lord, Of Struggling Here

Author: Anson D. F. Randolph Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 15 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Weary, Lord, of struggling here With this constant doubt and fear, Burdened by the pains I bear, And the trials I must share— Help me, Lord, again to flee To the rest that’s found in Thee. 2 Weakened by the wayward will Which controls, yet cheats me still; Seeking something undefined With an earnest, darkened mind— Help me, Lord again to flee To the light that breaks from Thee. 3 Fettered by this earthly scope In the reach and aim of hope, Fixing thought in narrow bound Where no living truth is found— Help me, Lord, again to flee To the hope that’s fixed in Thee. 4 Fettered, burdened, wearied, weak, Lord, once more Thy grace I seek; Turn, O turn me not away, Help me, Lord, to watch and pray— That I never more may flee From the rest that’s found in Thee.

All Baptized Beneath the Cloud

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 All baptized beneath the cloud, all baptized through surging waves; all sustained by heaven's bread, living streams from God who saves. Yet so many meet their end, live for pleasure, lose the path; few will see God's holy land, many fall beneath his wrath. 2 And is Israel's story ours? Doomed are all who think they stand, if we worship this world's powers, scorn the riches from God's hand. What a past to leave behind, what a future lies ahead!
