LORD, If You Do Not Soon Appear
Author: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 LORD, if You dost not soon appear,
virtue and faith will fly away;
a faithful man amongst us here
will scarce be found, if You delay.
2 But lips that with deceit abound
shall not maintain their triumph long;
the God of vengeance will confound
the flatt'ring and blaspheming tongue.
3 The LORD, who sees the poor oppressed
and hears th'oppressor's haughty strain,
will rise to give His children rest,
nor shall they trust His word in vain.
4 Thy Word, O LORD, though often tried,
void of deceit shall still appear:
nor silver, sev'n times purified
from dross and mixture, shines so clear.
5 Thy grace shall, in the darkest hour,
defend the holy soul from harm;
though when the vilest men have pow'r,
on ev'ry side will sinners swarm. Scripture: Psalm 12 Used With Tune: WAREHAM

The Time is Nigh
Author: P. P. Pratt Appears in 13 hymnals First Line: The time is nigh, the happy time Lyrics: 1. The time is nigh, the happy time,
That great expected, blessed day,
When countless thousands of our race
Shall dwell with Christ, and Him obey.
2. The prophecies must be fulfilled,
Though earth and hell should dare oppose;
The stone out of the mountain cut,
Though unobserved, a kingdom grows.
3. The blended image soon shall fall —
Brass, silver, iron, gold and clay;
And superstition's dreadful reign
To light and liberty give way.
4. In one sweet symphony of praise,
The Jews and Gentiles will unite;
And infidelity o'ercome,
Return again to endless night.
5. From east to west, from north to south,
The Savior's kingdom shall extend,
And ev'ry man in ev'ry place
Shall meet a brother and a friend. Used With Tune: [The time is nigh, the happy time]

The Wingèd Herald of the Day
Author: Aurelius Prudentius, 348-413; John M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 12 hymnals Lyrics: 1. The wingèd herald of the day
Proclaims the morn’s approaching ray:
And Christ the Lord our souls excites,
And so to endless life invites.
2. Take up thy bed, to each He cries,
Who sick or wrapped in slumber lies;
And chaste and just and sober stand
And watch: My coming is at hand.
3. With earnest cry, with tearful care,
Call we the Lord to hear our prayer;
While supplication, pure and deep,
Forbids each chastened heart to sleep.
4. Do Thou, O Christ, our slumber wake:
Do Thou the chains of darkness break;
Purge Thou our former sins away,
And in our souls new light display.
5. All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, eternal Son, to Thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete. Used With Tune: WAREHAM Text Sources: Liber Cathemerinon; translation in the Hymnal Noted, enlarged edition, 1854

Proud Babylon Yet Waits Her Doom
Author: Mrs. Vokes Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Proud Babylon yet waits her doom;
Nor can her tottering palace fall,
Till some blest messenger arise
The spacious heathen world to call.
2 And see the glorious time approach!
Behold the mighty angel fly,
The Gospel tidings to convey
To every land beneath the sky!
3 O see, on both the Indias coast,
And Africa’s unhappy shore,
The unlearned savages press to hear;
And hearing, wonder and adore.
4 See, while the joyful truth is told,
That Jesus left His throne in Heaven,
And suffered, died and rose again,
That guilty souls might be forgiven.
5 See what delight, unfelt before,
Beams in his fixed attentive eye;
And hear him ask, For wretched me,
Did this divine Redeemer die?
6 Ah! why have ye so long forborne
To tell such welcome news as this?
Go now, let every sinner hear,
And share in such exalted bliss.
7 The islands, waiting for His law,
With rapture greet the sacred sound;
And, taught the Saviour’s precious name,
Cast all their idols to the ground.
8 Now, Babylon, thy hour is come,
Thy cursed foundation shall give way,
And thine eternal overthrow
The triumphs of the cross display. Used With Tune: WAREHAM
