Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 342 hymnals Topics: Last Things Resurrection and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment, day of wonders, Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons, how the summons, Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for His appearing Then shall say, "This God is mine!" Gracious Saviour, Gracious Saviour, Own me on that day for Thine! 3 At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature, shaken By His looks, prepare to flee: Careless sinner, careless sinner What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessèd, Loved, and served the Lord below; He will say, "Come near ye blessèd, See the kingdom I bestow! You forever, you forever, Shall my love and glory know." Amen. Used With Tune: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH, EHRENKÖNIG

When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and thee? 2 When shall these eyes thy heaven built walls And pearly gates behold? Thy bulwarks with salvation strong, And streets of shining gold? 3 O when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend, Where evermore the angels sing, Where sabbaths have no end? 4 There happier bowers than Eden’s bloom, Nor sin nor sorrow know: Blest seats! through rude and stormy scenes I onward press to you. 5 Why should I shrink at pain and woe, Or feel at death dismay? I’ve Canaan’s goodly land in view, And realms of endless day. 6 Apostles, martyrs, prophets there Around my Savior stand; And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 7 Jerusalem, my happy home! My soul still pants for thee; Then shall my labors have an end, When I thy joy shall see. Used With Tune: [Jerusalem my happy home]

O Father, 'tis Thy will. The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfil. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail. Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight Thou, and I'll prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death And life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!" Amen. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Used With Tune: SCHUMANN

What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph nigh! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made; O joy, for all its former woes A thousand-fold repaid! 3 O then what raptured greetings On Canaan's happy shore; What knitting severed friendships up Where partings are no more! Then eyes with joy shall sparkle, That brimmed with tears of late; Orphans no longer fatherless, Nor widows desolate. 4 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power, and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens Thy promised sign; Thou Prince and Saviour, come. Amen. Used With Tune: ALFORD

Clothed in robes of spotless white, Now it dwells with Thee in light. 3 O Lord Jesus, grant that we Where may live where it is living, And the blissful pastures see That its heavenly food are giving; Then the gain of death we prove, Though Thou take what most we love.

The evening is advancing, And darker night is near.

The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up ye heirs of glory; The Bridegroom is at hand! 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Their cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign for ever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Their diadems of gold! 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, That brings us unto Thee! Used With Tune: [Rejoice, rejoice, believers]
