Coming

Author: F. E. B. Hymnal: Christ in Song #144 (1908) Topics: The Home Eternal Return of Christ; The Home Eternal Return of Christ First Line: He's coming once again Lyrics: 1 He's coming once again, To set his people free; That where he is, in glory bright, His saints may also be. Then lift the drooping head. Look up, rejoice and sing; He comes in majesty sublime, Salvation's glorious King! 2 The earth shall quake with fear, The heav'ns shall flee away; And where shall guilty man appear In that tremendous day? No refuge then is night, No shelter from the blast; The night of vengeance vails the sky When mercy's day is past. 3 His eyes of living flame, The wicked shall devour; No tongue will lightly speak the name Of Jesus in that hour. No scorn, no words of hate, For his meek foll'wers then; But prayers and tears that come too late, Will mark earth's mighty men. Languages: English

Then I Saw a New Heaven and Earth

Author: Christopher M. Idle Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #236 (1987) Meter: Irregular Topics: Return of Christ; Return of Christ Lyrics: 1 Then I saw a new heaven and earth, for the first had passed away; and the holy city came down from God like a bride on her wedding day. And I know how he loves his own, for I heard his great voice tell they would be his people, and he their God, and among them he came to dwell. 2 He will wipe away every tear; even death shall die at last. There'll be no more crying or grief or pain they belong to the world that's past. And the One on the throne said, "Look! I am making all things new." He is A and Z, he is first and last, and his words are exact and true. 3 So the thirsty can drink their fill at the fountain giving life. But the gates are shut on all evil things, on deceit and decay and strife. With foundations and walls and towers like a jewel, the city shines, with its streets of gold and its gates of pearl, in a glory where each combines. 4 As they measured its length and breadth I could see no temple there, for its only temple is God the Lord and the Lamb in that city fair. And it needs neither sun nor moon in a place which knows no night, for the city's lamp is the Lamb himself, and the glory of God its light. 5 And I saw by the sacred throne flowing water, crystal clear, and the tree of life with its healing leaves and its fruit growing all the year. So the worshipers of the Lamb bear his name and see his face, and they reign and serve and forever live to the praise of his glorious grace. Scripture: Revelation 21 Languages: English Tune Title: NEW HEAVEN

Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!

Author: John Newton Hymnal: Psalter Hymnal (Gray) #614 (1987) Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Topics: Return of Christ; Return of Christ Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment! Day of wonders! Hark! the trumpet's awesome 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 on 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, you blessed, see the kingdom I bestow; you forever shall my love and glory know." Scripture: Matthew 25:34-46 Languages: English Tune Title: MEINE HOFFNUNG
