Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!

Author: Rev. John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 343 hymnals Topics: Longing for God or Christ 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 Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge, our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine; You who long for His appearing Then shall say, This God is mine! Gracious Savior, Own me in that day as 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, What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessed, Loved and served the Lord below, He will say, Come near, ye blessed, See the kingdom I bestow; You forever Shall my love and glory know. Used With Tune: CORONAE

Come down, O Love divine

Author: Bianco de Siena, d. 1434; Richard Frederick Littledale, 1833-90 Meter: 6.6.11 D Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Come down, O Love divine, seek now this soul of mine, and visit it with our own ardour glowing; O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing. 2 There let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming; and let your glorious light shine ever on my sight and clothe me round, the while my path illuming. 3 Let holy charity my outward garment be, and lowliness become my inner clothing: true lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing. 4 And so the yearning strong, with which the soul will long, shall far outpass the power of human telling; for none can guess its grace till we become the place in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Used With Tune: DOWN AMPNEY

Hvor salig er den lille Flok

Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Love to and Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Hvor salig er den lille Flok, Som Jesus kjendes ved! I ham, sin Frelser, har den nok Nu og i Evighed. I Kjærlighed, i Haab og Tro Den vandrer her og hist skal bo Med ham, naar Haab og Tro forgaar, Men Kjærlighed bestaar. 2 Min Jesus, er jeg en af dem? Vil du mig kalde din? Staar jeg for dig som hine Fem Med Lys i Lampen min? O lad mig ei til Hvile gaa, Før jeg herom kan Vished faa, Før du kan faa det Svar af mig: Du ved, jeg elsker dig. 3 Og maatte det med Graad end ske, At saadant Svar jeg gav, Saa vil du naadig til mig se, Og tørre Taaren af! Ja, naar kun du, som al Ting veed, Hos mig kan finde Kjærlighed, Og kjende mig iblandt din Flok Som din, saa har jeg nok.

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: Longing for Christ and God Lyrics: 1 In sweet communion, Lord, with thee I constantly abide; my hand thou holdest in thine own to keep me near thy side. 2 Thy counsel through my earthly way shall guide me and control, and then to glory afterward thou wilt receive my soul. 3 Whom have I, Lord, in heav'n but thee, to whom my thoughts aspire? And, having thee, on earth is naught that I can yet desire? 4 Though flesh and heart should faint and fail, the Lord will ever be the strength and portion of my heart, my God eternally. 5 To live apart from God is death, 'tis good his face to seek; my refuge is the living God, his praise I long to speak.

Som tørstige Hjort monne skrige

Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Love to and Longing for God Lyrics: 1 Som tørstige Hjort monne skrige Alt efter det rindende Væld, Saa monne og efter dig hige, O Herre, min tørstige Sjæl; Thi du er den levende Kilde, Og drikke saa gjerne jeg vilde For aldrig at tørste igjen. 2 De Dage og Nætter henskride, Og Sjælen kun lædskes med Graad, Af Sorgen jeg Hænder maa vride, Jeg veed ingen Frelse og Raad, Ak, naar vil dog Gud sig forbarme? Ak, naar maa jeg Ussle og Arme Indgange for Herren at staa? 3 Jeg er udi Hjertet saa bange, De Afgrunde ligge saa nær, Og paa deres Rand maa jeg gange, Det er kun en jammerlig Ferd; Jeg svimler, mig Rædsel nedknuger, Mig Afgrunden visselig sluger– O Herre, o hør mine Skrig! 4 Du er jo min Saligheds-Klippe, Paa dig har jeg bygget mit Hus; Ak, vilde du glemme og glippe, Da synker det straks udi Grus; At bryde de skummende Vover, Og, medens du tøvrer og sover, De lukke sig over min Sjæl. 5 Naar andre til Kirke mon gange, Da sidder jeg her udi Vraa, De kvæde saa liflige Sange, Men jeg maa ei høre derpaa, Min Sang er at sukke og klage; Saa skride de hellige Dage For mig, som de virke, – i Kval. 6 Dog, hvi vil, min Sjæl, du forsage, Hvi bøies, hvi bruser du saa? Lad skride de Nætter og Dage, Og bi paa din Gud, som du maa! Engang skal den Morgen oprinde, Da frelst du, saa glad udi Sinde, Skal takke og love din Gud. 7 Hans Lys og hans Sandhed skal føre Mig op til hans Tempel i Fred, Der Ordet mit Hjerte skal røre. Og glemme jeg skal, hvad jeg leed; Ja selv skal jeg røre min Tunge, Til Salmer for herren at sjunge Til Lov og til Pris for min Gud. Scripture: Psalm 42
