Death and judgment apponted to all

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Judgment Appointed to all First Line: Heav'n has confirm'd the great decree Lyrics: 1 Heav'n has confirm'd the great decree, That Adam's race mus die: One gen'ral ruin sweeps them down, And low in dust they lie. 2 Ye living men, the tomb survey, Where you must quickly dwell; Hark how the awful summons sounds In ev'ry fun'ral knell! 3 Once you must die, and once for all; The solemn purport weigh; For know, that heav'n or hell depends On that important day. 4 Those eyes, so long in darkness veil'd, Must wake the Judge to see, And ev'ry word, and ev'ry thought Must pass his scrutiny. 5 O may I in the Judge behold My Saviour and my Friend, And far beyond the reach of death, With all his saints ascend. Scripture: Hebrews 9:27

"Shall see the Son of Man Coming"

Author: Burnham Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Last Judgment First Line: On yonder glorious height Lyrics: 1 On yonder glorious height, King Jesus does appear, Upon the judgment-seat, With millions at his bar; Behold the awful Judge is come, To fix their everlasting doom. 2 Sinners must now come forth And stand before the Lord, Whose word they scorned on earth, Whose children they abhorred; Then speaks the Judge, “Ye sinners, go From my blest face to endless woe.” 3 But now, my soul, behold That host at his right hand; O see the blood-washed world Boldly before him stand; How pleased they look, how bright they shine, While Jesus cries, “These, these are mine!” 4 “These are my holy race; These did resound my fame; These prized redeeming grace; These loved and feared my name; And these shall now ascend with me To mansions of eternal day.”

Shall man, O God of light and life

Author: Dewitt Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Resurrection and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life, For ever molder in the grave? Canst thou forget thy glorious work, Thy promise and thy power to save? 2 In those dark, silent realms of night Shall peace and hope no more arise? No future morning light the tomb, Nor day-star gild the darksome skies? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain, desponding fears: When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprang, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heaven with praise and wonder rang. 4 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold, to make his children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 5 The trump shall sound, the dead shall wake; From the cold tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heaven, with joy, their myriads rise, And hail their Saviour and their King.

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D with refrain Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Judgment Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage And the people vainly dream That in triumph they can wage War against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers plotting say: Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea, I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown, Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear; Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear, Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er your way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take, But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: MENDELSSOHN
