The trumpet sounds; hell tremble; heaven rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. 2 No more shall atheists mock his long delay; His vengeance sleeps no more; behold the day; Behold the Judge descends; his guards are nigh; Tempest and fire attend him down the sky. When God appears, all nature shall adore him; While sinners tremble, saints rejoice before him. 3 "Heaven, earth, and hell draw near: let all things come "To hear my justice and the sinner's doom; "But gather first my saints; the Judge commands; "Bring them, ye angels, from their distant lands.

There's no distinction here; join all your voices, And raise your heads, ye saints. for heaven rejoices. 5 "Here (saith the Lord) ye angels spread their thrones, "And near me seat my favourites and my sons, "Come, my redeem'd, possess the joys prepar'd "Ere time began, 'tis your divine reward.

Judgement proceeds; hell trembles; heaven rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. 8 "Not for the want of goats, or bullocks slain "Do I condemn thee; bulls and goats are vain "Without the flames of love; in vain the store "Of brutal offerings that were mine before. Earth is the Lord's, all nature shall adore him; While sinners tremble, saints rejoice before him. 9 "If I were hungry, would I ask thee food? "When did I thirst or drink thy bullocks blood?

Pause the Second. 11 "Unthinking wretch! how could'st thou hope to please "A God, a spirit, with such toys as these? "While with my grace and statutes on thy tongue "Thou lov'st deceit, and dost thy brother wrong. Judgement proceeds; hell trembles; heaven rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. 12 "In vain to pious forms thy zeal pretends; "Thieves and adulterers are thy chosen friends; "While the false flatterer at mine altar waits, "His harden'd soul divine instruction hates. GOD is the judge of hearts, no fair disguises Can screen the guilty when his vengeance rises. 13 "Silent I waited with long-suffering love; "But didst thou hope that I should ne'er reprove? "And cherish such an impious thought within, "That the All-Holy would indulge thy sin? See God appears, all nations join t' adore him; Judgement proceeds, and sinners fall before him. 14 "Behold my terrors now; my thunders roll, "And thy own crimes affright thy guilty soul; "Now like a lion shall my vengeance tear "Thy bleeding heart, and no deliverers near. Judgement concludes; hell trembles; heaven rejoices; Lift up your heads, ye saints, with cheerful voices. Epiphonema. 15 "Sinners, awake betimes; ye fools be wise, "Awake before this dreadful morning rise; "Change your vain thoughts, your sinful works amend, "Fly to the Saviour, make the Judge your friend. Then join, ye saints, wake every cheerful passion; When Christ returns, he comes for your salvation. Scripture: Psalm 50

Gather Thou Thy people in, Free from sorrow, free from sin; There, for ever purified, In Thy presence to abide: Come, with all Thine angels, come. Raise the glorious harvest-home. Used With Tune: ST.

Sinner, prepare to meet God!

Appears in 178 hymnals Topics: Day of Judgment First Line: Sinner, art thou still secure? Lyrics: 1 Sinner, art thou still secure? Wilt thou still refuse to pray? Can thy heart or hands endure In the Lord's avenging day! 2 See, his mighty arm is bar'd! Awful terrors clothe his brow! For his judgment stand prepar'd, Thou must either break or bow. 3 At his presence nature shakes, Earth affrighted hastes to flee; Solid mountains melt like wax, What will then become of thee? 4 Who his advent may abide? You that glory in your shame, Will you find a place to hide When the world is wrapped in flame? 5 Then the rich, the great, the wise, Trembling, guilty, self-condemn'd; Must behold the wrathful eyes Of the Judge they once blasphem'd. 6 Where are now their haughty looks, Oh, their horror and despair! When they see the open'd books, And their dreadful sentence hear! 7 Lord, prepare us by thy grace! Soon we must resign our breath; And our souls be call'd to pass Through the iron gate of death. 8 Let us now our day improve, Listen to the gospel voice; Seek the things that are above; Scorn the world's pretended joys.

Sinners, take the friendly warning

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: The Day of Judgment Lyrics: 1 Sinners, take the friendly warning; Soon that awful day shall break, And the trumpet, with its dawning, All the slumbering millions wake. 2 See assembled every nation!-- Loftly cities, temples, towers, Wrapt in dreadful conflagration, Earth and sea the flame devours. 3 Ye who to the world dissemble, While you practice deeds of night, Sinners, now behold and tremble; All your crimes are brought to light. 4 Ye who now, conviction stifling, Waste your time, the loss deplore; Hear the angel--cease your trifling-- Time, he cries, shall be no more. 5 Pause and hear the voice of reason, Catch the moments as they fly; You who lose the present season, You must all find time to die. Scripture: Psalm 96:13
