Come, quickly come, dread Judge of all

Appears in 84 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Come, quickly come, dread Judge of all; For, awful though Thine advent be, All shadows from the truth will fall, And falsehood die, in sight of Thee: Come, quickly come: for doubt and fear Like clouds dissolve when Thou art near. 2 Come, quickly come, great King of all; Reign all around us, and within; Let sin no more our souls enthrall, Let pain and sorrow die with sin; Come, quickly come: for Thou alone Canst make Thy scatter'd people one. 3 Come, quickly come, true Life of all; The curse of death is on the ground; On every home his shadows fall, On every heart his mark is found: Come, quickly come: for grief and pain Can never cloud Thy glorious reign. 4 Come, quickly come, sure Light of all, For gloomy night broods o'er our way; And fainting souls begin to fall With weary watching for the day: Come, quickly come: for round Thy throne No eye is blind, no night is known.

O Word of God incarnate

Appears in 490 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Word of God incarnate, O Wisdom from on high, O Truth, unchanged, unchanging, O Light of our dark sky! We praise Thee for the radiance That from the hallow'd page, A lantern to our footsteps, Shines on from age to age. 2 The Church from her dear Master Received the gift divine, And still that light she lifteth O'er all the earth to shine. It is the golden casket Where gems of truth are stored, It is the heaven-drawn picture Of Christ, the living Word. 3 It floateth like a banner Before God's host unfurl'd; It shineth like a beacon Above the darkling world; It is the chart and compass That o'er life's surging sea, Mid mists and rocks and quicksands, Still guides, O Christ, to Thee. 4 O make Thy Church, dear Saviour, A lamp of burnish'd gold, To bear before the nations Thy true light as of old; O teach Thy wandering pilgrims By this, their path to trace, Till, clouds and darkness ended, They see Thee face to face.

O'er the gloomy hills of darkness

Appears in 411 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O'er the gloomy hills of darkness, Look, my soul, be still and gaze: All the promises do travail With a glorious day of grace. Blessèd jubilee, Let thy glorious morning dawn. 2 Kingdoms wide that sit in darkness, Grant them, Lord, Thy glorious light; And from eastern coast to western May the morning chase the night, And redemption, Freely purchased, win the day. 3 Fly abroad, eternal Gospel, Win and conquer, never cease: May thy lasting, wide dominions Multiply and still increase: May thy sceptre, sway the enligten'd world around.

All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow

Appears in 35 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow, Human taunts and Satan's spite; Death shall be despoiled to-morrow Of the Prey he grasps to-night. Yet once more, His own to save, Christ must sleep within the grave. 2 Fierce and deadly was the anguish On the bitter Cross He bore; How did soul and body languish, Till the toil of death was o'er! But that toil, so fierce and dread, Bruised and crushed the serpent's head. 3 Close and still the tomb that holds Him, While in brief repose He lies; Deep the slumber that enfolds Him, Veiled awhile from mortal eyes: Slumber such as needs must be After hard-won victory. 4 So this nght, with voice of sadness Chant the anthem soft and low; Loftier strains of praise and gladness From to-morrow's harps shall flow: "Death and hell at length are slain, Christ hath triumphed, Christ doth reign."

Alleluia, song of sweetness

Appears in 95 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, song of sweetness, Voice of joy that cannot die; Alleluia is the anthem Ever dear to choirs on high; In the house of God abiding, Thus they sing eternally. 2 Alleluia thou resoundest, True Jerusalem and free; Alleluia joyful mother, All thy children sing with thee; But by Babylon's sad waters Mourning exiles now are we. 3 Alleluia cannot always Be our song while here below; Alleluia our transgressions Make us for awhile forego: For the solemn time is coming When our tears for sin must flow. 4 Therefore in our hymns we pray Thee, Grant us blessèd Trinity, At the last to keep Thine Easter In our home beyond the sky; There to Thee forever singing Alleluia joyfully.

Almighty God! I call to Thee

Appears in 10 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Almighty God! I call to Thee, By sore temptation shaken; Incline Thy gracious ear to me, And leave me not forsaken; For who that feels the power within Of past remorse and present sin, Can stand, O Lord, before Thee. 2 On Thee alone my stay I place, All human help rejecting; Relying on Thy sovereign grace, Thy sovereign and expecting, I rest upon Thy sacred word, That Thou'lt repel him not, O Lord, Who to Thy mercy fleeth. 3 And though I travail all the night, And travail all the morrow, My trust is in Jehovah's might, My triumph in my sorrow; Forgetting not that Thou of old Didst Israel, though weak, uphold; When weakest then most loving! 4 What though my sinfulness be great, Redeeming love is greater; What though all hell should lie in wait, Supreme is my Creator; And He my Rock and fortress is, And when most helpless, most I'm His, My strength and my Redeemer.

Angels from the realms of glory

As panting in the sultry beam

Appears in 32 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As panting in the sultry beam, The hart desires the cooling stream, So to Thy presence, Lord, I flee, So longs my soul, O God, for Thee; Athirst to taste Thy living grace, And see Thy glory face to face. 2 But rising griefs distress my soul, And tears on tears successive roll; For many an evil voice is near to chide my woe and mock my fear; And silent memory weeps alone O'er hours of peace and gladness flown. 3 For I have walked the happy round That 'circles Sion's holy ground, And gladly swell'd the choral lays That hymn'd my great Redeemer's praise, What time the hallow'd arches rung Responsive to the solemn song. 4 Ah, why, by passing clouds opprest, Should vexing thoughts distract thy breast? Turn, turn to Him, in every pain, Whom never suppliant sought in vain, Thy strength, in joy's ecstatic day, Thy hope, when joy has pass'd away.

Awake, ye saints, awake

Appears in 171 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake, ye saints, awake, And hail this sacred day; In loftiest songs of praise Your joyful homage pay: Welcome the day that God hath blest, The type of heaven's eternal rest. 2 On this auspicious morn The Lord of life arose; He burst the bars of death, And vanquished all our foes: An now he pleads our cause above, And reaps the fruits of all His love. 3 All hail, triumphant Lord! Heaven with Hosannas rings, And earth, in humbler strains, Thy praise responsive sings: Worthy the Lamb that once was slain, Through endless years to live and reign. 4 Great King, gird on Thy sword, Ascend Thy conquering car; While justice, truth, and love Maintain Thy glorious war: This day let sinners own Thy sway, And rebels cast their arms away.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 He's blest, whose sins have pardon gain'd No more in judgment to appear, Whose guilt remission has obtain'd And whose repentance is sincere. 2 No sooner I my wound disclosed, The guilt that tortured me within, But Thy forgiveness interposed, And mercy's healing balm pour'd in. 3 Sorrows on sorrows multiplied, The harden'd sinner shall confound; But them who in His truth confide, Blessings of mercy shall surround. 4 His saints that have perform'd His laws, Their life in triumph shall employ; Let them, as they alone have cause, In grateful raptures shout for joy.
