Day of wrath! that day of mourning!
Author: Thomas of Celano Meter: 8.8.8 Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Christ's Second Coming; The Last Things Christ's Second Coming Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath! O day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' 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 sepulchers 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 When 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, good Jesus! 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 in vain be 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 savedst;
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 Bows my heart in meek submission,
Strews with ashes of 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, Jesus blest,
Grant them Thine eternal rest! Used With Tune: [Day of wrath! that day of mourning!]
Day of wrath! that day of mourning!

Thus heaven is gathering, one by one
When the day of toil is done
Author: John Ellerton Appears in 67 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Death Used With Tune: IRENE
When the day of toil is done
O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!
Author: S. Dach Meter: 10.10.5.10 Appears in 17 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Burial and Resurrection; The Last Things Burial and Ressurection Lyrics: 1 O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!
Who, through death, have unto God ascended!
Ye have arisen
From the cares which keep us still in prison.
2 We are still as in a dungeon living,
Still oppressed with sorrow and misgiving;
Our undertakings
Are but toils and troubles and heart-breakings.
3 Ye, meanwhile, are in your chambers sleeping,
Quiet, and set free from all our weeping;
No cross nor sadness
There can hinder your untroubled gladness.
4 Christ has wiped away your tears forever;
Ye have that for which we still endeavor.
To you are chanted
Songs which yet no mortal ears were granted.
5 Ah! who would then not depart with gladness,
To inherit heaven for earthly sadness?
Who here would languish
Longer in bewailing and in anguish?
6 Come, O Christ, and loose the chains that bind us!
Lead us forth, and cast this world behind us!
With Thee, th'Anointed,
Finds the soul its joy and rest appointed. Used With Tune: [O how blest are ye whose toils are ended]
O how blest are ye whose toils are ended!

Fade, Fade, Each Earthly Joy
Author: Jane Catharine (Lundie) Bonar Meter: 6.4.6.4.6.6.6.4 Appears in 557 hymnals Topics: Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 Fade, fade, each earthly joy;
Jesus is mine.
Break ev'ry tender tie;
Jesus is mine.
Dark is the wilderness,
Earth has no resting place,
Jesus alone can bless;
Jesus is mine.
2 Tempt not my soul away;
Jesus is mine.
Here would I ever stay;
Jesus is mine.
Perishing things of clay,
Born but for one brief day,
Pass from my heart away;
Jesus is mine.
3 Farewell, ye dreams of night;
Jesus is mine.
Lost in this dawning bright
Jesus is mine.
All that my soul has tried
Left but a dismal void;
Jesus has satisfied;
Jesus is mine.
3 Farewell, mortality;
Jesus is mine.
Welcome, eternity;
Jesus is mine.
Welcome, O loved and blest,
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Saviour’s breast:
Jesus is mine.
Amen. Used With Tune: FADE, FADE, EACH EARTHLY JOY

I Fall Asleep in Jesus' Wounds
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Paul Eber, d. 1569 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 I fall asleep in Jesus' wounds,
There pardon for my sins abounds;
Yea, Jesus' blood and righteousness
My jewels are, my glorious dress.
In these before my God I'll stand
When I shall reach the heav'nly land.
2 With peace and joy I now depart;
God's child I am with all my heart.
I thank thee, Death, thou leadest me
To that true life where I would be.
So cleansed by Christ, I fear not death.
Lord Jesus, strengthen Thou my faith.
Amen.

We Shall Sleep, But Not Forever
Author: Mary Ann Kidder Meter: 8.7.8.7 D with refrain Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: Last Things Death and Burial Lyrics: 1 We shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet to part--no, never,
On the resurrection morn!
From the deepest caves of ocean,
From the desert and the plain,
From the valley and the mountain,
Countless throngs shall rise again.
Refrain:
We shall sleep, but not forever,
There will be a glorious dawn;
We shall meet, to part--no, never,
On the resurrection morn!
2 When we see a precious blossom
That we tended with such care
Rudely taken from our bosom,
How our aching hearts despair!
Round its little grave we linger,
Till the setting sun is low,
Feeling all our hopes have perished
With the flower we cherished so. [Refrain]
3 We shall sleep, but not forever,
In the lone and silent grave:
Blessèd be the Lord that taketh,
Blessèd be the Lord that gave.
In the bright, eternal city,
Death can never, never come!
In His own good time He’ll call us
From our rest to home, sweet home. [Refrain]
Amen. Used With Tune: WE SHALL SLEEP, BUT NOT FOREVER

Praise God, this hour of sorrow
Author: H. A. Brorson; J. Heerman Meter: 7.7.6.7.7.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Burial of Children; The Last Things Burial of Children Lyrics: 1 Praise God, this hour of sorrow
Shall bring a brighter morrow:
I go to Paradise.
My mother dear and father,
When round my grave you gather,
Lay me to rest with songs of praise.
2 What better can befall me
Than that the Lord doth call me
From hence, where sin holds sway?
Who is on earth a stranger
Must ever be in danger,
Till God hath closed life's fleeting day.
3 God takes His own from anguish
And pain, in which they languish
Within this vale of tears,
And gives them to inherit
The crown that Christ did merit:
The joy of heaven's eternal years.
4 I was on earth your treasure;
And now I know but pleasure
Ye weep in bitter woe;
Believe, whate'er betideth,
God's love in all abideth,
And soon your tears shall cease to flow.
5 Our days the Lord appointeth,
He woundeth and anointeth,
He knoweth all things well.
No evil He effected,
No good He e'er neglected,
And all His works His glory tell.
6 When ye shall see me nearing
The throne of God, appearing
Adorned and crowned a bride,
My palms of victory swinging,
'Midst Hallelujahs ringing,
In beauteous grace the Lamb beside:
7 Ye both shall rue the sadness
That made you weep, and gladness
E'er in your hearts shall reign.
Who follows where God guideth,
And takes what He provideth
Shall know surcease from all his pain.
8 Farewell, I now must leave you;
The grief this day doth give you
Soon others, too, shall bear.
Be ye to God commended;
In heaven all woe is ended,
And we shall meet in glory there. Used With Tune: [Praise God, this hour of sorrow]

There Is an Hour of Peaceful Rest
Author: William B. Tappan Meter: 8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 566 hymnals Topics: The Last Things Life Everlasting Lyrics: 1 There is an hour of peaceful rest,
To mourning wand’rers giv'n;
There is a joy for souls distrest,
A balm for ev'ry wounded breast:
’Tis found above--in heav’n.
2 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driv'n,--
When tossed on life’s tempestuous shoals,
When storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear--but heav’n.
3 There faith lifts up the tearless eye,
To brighter prospects giv'n,
And views the tempest passing by,
The evening shadows quickly fly,
And all serene--in heav’n.
4 There, fragrant flow'rs immortal bloom,
And joys supreme are giv'n;
There rays divine disperse the gloom;
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heav’n.
Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 4:9 Used With Tune: PAX CELESTE
