Light of those whose dreary dwelling

Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 357 hymnals Topics: Advent (See Second Coming) Of Christ Lyrics: 1 Light of those whose dreary dwelling Borders on the shades of death, Come, and by Thy love's revealing Dissipate the clouds beneath: The new heaven and earth's Creator, In our deepest darkness rise, Scattering all the night of nature, Pouring eyesight on our eyes. 2 Still we wait for Thine appearing; Life and joy Thy beams impart, Chasing all our fears, and cheering Every poor benighted heart: Come, and manifest the favour God hath for our ransomed race; Come, thou universal Saviour, Come and bring the gospel grace. 3 Save us in Thy great compassion, O Thou mild, pacific Prince! Give the knowledge of salvation, Give the pardon of our sins: By Thy all-restoring merit Every burdened soul release; Every weary, wandering spirit Guide into Thy perfect peace.

The watchers on the mountain proclaim the Bridegroom near; meet him as he approaches, with alleluias clear. 3 You saints, who here in patience your cross and suff'rings bore, shall live and reign forever, when sorrow is no more: around the throne of glory the Lamb you shall behold, in triumph cast before him your alleluias clear. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesus, now appear; arise, O Sun so longed for, above the darkened sphere.

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 Savior, Own me in that day as 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 confessed, Loved and served the Lord below, He will say, Come near, ye blessed, See the kingdom I bestow; You forever Shall my love and glory know.

Great God, what do I see and hear!

Author: Anon.; W. B. Collier; T. Cotteril and others. Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 300 hymnals Topics: Second Coming of Christ Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear, On clouds of glory seated; The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet Him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding. Caught up to meet Him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding: No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing, For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; They trembling stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 O Christ, who diedst and yet dost live, To me impart Thy merit: My pardon seal, my sins forgive, And cleanse me by Thy Spirit. Beneath Thy cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Thee. Used With Tune: [Great God, what do I see and hear]
