Day of judgment, day of wonders

Appears in 341 hymnals 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 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! What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confesséd, Loved, and served the Lord below, He will say, Come near, ye blesséd, Take the kingdom I bestow;: You for ever Shall My love and glory know.

Day of wrath! oh, day of mourning!

Meter: Irregular Appears in 108 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath! oh, day of mourning! See fulfill'd the prophet's warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth. 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth; Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth; All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo! the book exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded: Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 Whence the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity! then befriend us! 9 Think, kind Jesu, my salvation Cost Thy wondrous incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suffering bought me. Shall such grace be vainly brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the sinful woman saved'st; Thou the dying thief forgavest, And to me a hope vouchsafest. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With Thy favored sheep O place me! Nor among the goats abase me; But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Low I kneel with heart submission, See, like ashes, my contrition; Help me in my last condition. 18 Ah, that day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning Man for judgment must prepare him. 19 Spare, O God, in mercy, spare him! Lord, all pitying, Jesu blest, Grant us Thine eternal rest. Topics: The Judgment

Dear Saviour, if these lambs should stray

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Saviour, if these lambs should stray From Thy secure enclosure's bound, And, lured by worldly joys away, Among the thoughtless crowd be found, 2 Remember still that they are Thine, That Thy dear sacred Name they bear; Think that the seal of love divine, The sign of covenant grace, they wear. 3 In all their erring, sinful years, O let them ne'er forgotten be; Remember all the prayers and tears Which made them consecrate to Thee. 4 And when these lips no more can pray, These eyes can weep for them no more, Turn Thou their feet from folly's way; the wanderers to Thy fold restore.

Whose voice the waters heard And hushed their raging at Thy word, Who walkedest on the foaming deep, And calm amidst its rage didst sleep; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 3 Most Holy Spirit! Who didst brood Upon the chaos dark and rude, And bid its angry tumult cease, And give for wild confusion, peace; O hear us when we cry to Thee For those in peril on the sea. 4 O Trinity of love and power! Our brethren shield in danger's hour; From rock and tempest, fire and foe, Protect them wheresoe'er they go: Thus evermore shall rise to Thee Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
