The Judgment

Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 1:7 First Line: He is coming, he is coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he came before, Wailing infant, born in weakness On a lowly stable floor: But upon his cloud of glory, In the crimson-tinted sky, Where we see the golden sunrise In the rosy distance lie. 2 He is coming, he is coming, Not in pain, and shame, and woe, With the thorn-crown on his forehead. And the blood-drops trickling slow; But with diadem upon him, And the sceptre in his hand, And the dead all ranged before him, Raised from death, hell, sea, and land. 3 He is coming, he is coming, Not as once he wandered through All the hostile land of Judah, With his followers poor and few: But with all the holy angels Waiting round his judgment-seat, And the chosen twelve apostles Sitting crowned at his feet. 4 He is coming, he is coming; Let his lowly first estate, And his tender love, so teach us That in faith and hope we wait, Till in glory eastward burning, Our redemption draweth near; And we see the sign in heaven Of our Judge and Saviour dear.

Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your church adored: all creation shows your glory, heaven and earth draw near your throne singing "Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!" 2 True apostles, faithful prophets, saints who set their world ablaze, martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, join one growing song of praise, while your church on earth confesses one majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally. 3 Jesus Christ, the King of glory, everlasting Son of God, humble was your virgin mother, hard the lonely path you trod. By your cross is sin defeated, hell confronted face to face, heaven opened to believers, sinners justified by grace. 4 Christ, at God's right hand victorious, you will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants for whose freedom you have paid. Raise us up from dust to glory, guard us from all sin today; King enthroned above all praises, save your people, God, we pray.

Author: Anonymous; John Logan, 1748-1788 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Revelation 1:4-7 Lyrics: 1 Let Christian faith and hope dispel the fears of guilt and woe; the Lord Almighty is our friend, and who can prove a foe? 2 The Saviour died, but rose again triumphant from the grave, and pleads our cause at God’s right hand, omnipotent to save. 3 Who then can e’er divide us more from Jesus' saving love, or break the sacred chain that binds the earth to heaven above? 4 Let troubles rise and terrors frown, and days of darkness fall; through Christ all dangers we’ll defy, and more than conquer all. 5 Nor death nor life, nor earth, nor hell, nor time’s destroying sway can e’er erase us from his heart, or make his love decay. 6 Each future period that will bless as it has blessed the past; Christ loved us from the first of time; Christ loves us to the last.

Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder; all creation is amazed. In the desert all-surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim, demonic chorus: “Christ is risen! Get you gone!” God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna everyone!
