The last Judgment; or, the Saints Rewarded
Appears in 103 hymnals Topics: Incarnation and sacrifice of Christ; Incarnation and sacrifice of Christ First Line: The Lord, the Judge, before his throne Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the Judge before his throne,
Bids the whole earth draw nigh,
The nations near the rising sun,
And near the Western sky.
2 No more shall bold blasphemers say,
"Judgment will ne'er begin;"
No more abuse his long delay
To impudence and sin.
3 Thron'd on a cloud our God shall come,
Bright flames prepare his way,
Thunder and darkness, fire and storm,
Lead on the dreadful day.
4 Heaven from above his call shall hear,
Attending Angels come,
And earth and hell shall know, and fear
His justice and their doom.
5 "But gather all my saints (he cries)
"That made their peace with God,
"By the Redeemer's sacrifice,
"And seal'd it with his blood.
6 "Their faith and works, brought forth to light,
"Shall make the world confess
"My sentence of reward is right,
"And heaven adore my grace." Scripture: Psalm 50:1-6
The last Judgment; or, the Saints Rewarded
Hypocrisy exposed
Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Incarnation and sacrifice of Christ; Incarnation and sacrifice of Christ First Line: The Lord, the Judge his churches warns Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the Judge his churches warns,
Let hypocrites attend and fear,
Who place their hope in rites and forms,
But make not faith nor love their care.
2 Vile wretches dare rehearse his name
With lips of falsehood and deceit;
A friend or brother they defame,
And sooth and flatter those they hate.
3 They watch to do their neighbours wrong,
Yet dare to seek their Maker's face;
They take his covenant on their tongue,
But break his laws, abuse his grace.
4 To heaven they lift their hands unclean,
Defil'd with lust, defil'd with blood;
By night they practise every sin,
By day their mouths draw near to God.
5 And while his judgments long delay,
They grow secure and sin the more;
They think he sleeps as well as they,
And put far off the dreadful hour.
7 Oh dreadful hour! when God draws near,
And sets their crimes before their eyes!
His wrath their guilty souls shall tear,
And no deliverer dare to rise. Scripture: Psalm 50
Hypocrisy exposed
Let all the earth their voices raise
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 166 hymnals Topics: Signs of Christ's coming; Gentiles owning the true God; God his power and majesty; Conversion of Jews and Gentiles; Jehovah reigns; Christ first and second coming, or his incarnation, kingdom, and judgment Lyrics:
Let all the earth their voices raise
To sing the choicest psalm of praise,
To sing and bless Jehovah's name:
His glory let the heathens know,
His wonders to the nations show,
And all his saving works proclaim.
The heathens know thy glory, Lord,
The wond'ring nations read thy word,
In Britain is Jehovah known:
Our worship shall no more be paid
To gods which mortal hands have made;
Our Maker is our God alone.
He framed the globe, he built the sky,
He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns complete in glory there:
His beams are majesty and light;
His beauties, how divinely bright!
His temple, how divinely fair!
Come the great day, the glorious hour,
When earth shall feel his saving power,
And barb'rous nations fear his name;
Then shall the race of man confess
The beauty of his holiness,
And in his courts his grace proclaim.
Scripture: Psalm 96
Let all the earth their voices raise
The Newborn King Who Comes Today
Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 12 hymnals Topics: Incarnation of Christ Lyrics: 1 The new-born King who comes to-day
Brings tidings of great joy,
Which sin can never take away,
Nor death nor hell destroy.
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
And hail this glorious dawn;
For God comes down, frail man to crown:
The Lord of life is born!
2 He comes not as a king of earth,
In pomp and pride to reign;
He seeks a poor and humble birth,
But free from sinful stain;
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
Glad hymns of triumph sing:
The Wonderful, the Counsellor,
He comes, your God and King!
3 For us He leaves His Father’s throne,
His sapphire throne on high,
And comes to dwell on earth alone,
For fallen man to die.
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
All hail Messiah’s dawn;
Our God comes down, earth’s joy and crown:
The King of Love is born.
4 Glad Gentiles in their eastern home
His radiant star behold;
To God, their King, they joy to bring
Sweet incense, myrrh, and gold.
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
In heaven your praises sing,
Before Him fall, the Lord of all,
Your Maker and your King!
5 We join your song, celestial throng,
Whose anthems never cease;
We tune our lyres, with angels choirs,
To hail the Prince of Peace!
Rejoice, ye Gentile lands, rejoice,
All hail Immanuel’s morn;
For God comes down, frail man to crown:
To us a Child is born.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 60:1-6 Used With Tune: MATERNA Text Sources: Unknown.
The Newborn King Who Comes Today
"Bethlehem"
Author: Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Incarnation of Christ First Line: Come, ye redeemed of the Lord Lyrics: 1 Come, ye redeemed of the Lord,
Your grateful tribute bring;
And celebrate, with one accord,
The birthday of our King.
2 Let us with humble hearts repair
(Faith will point out the road)
To little Bethlehem, and there
Adore our infant God.
3 [In swaddling bands the Saviour view!
Let none his weakness scorn;
The feeblest heart shall hell subdue,
Where Jesus Christ is born.]
4 No pomp adorns, no sweets perfume
The place where Christ is laid;
A stable serves him for his room,
A manger is his bed.
5 The crowded inn, like sinners’ hearts,
(O ignorance extreme!)
For other guests, of various sorts,
Had room; but none for him.
6 But see what different thoughts arise
In our and angels’ breasts;
To hail his birth they left the skies,
We lodged him with the beasts!
7 Yet let believers cease their fears,
Nor envy heavenly powers;
If sinless innocence be theirs,
Redemption all is ours.
"Bethlehem"
"And the Word was made flesh"
Author: Hart Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: The Incarnation of Christ First Line: How blest is the season at which we appear Lyrics: 1 How blest is the season at which we appear!
Bow down, sense and reason, faith only reign here.
’Tis heard by mere nature with coldness and scorn,
That God, our Creator, an infant was born.
2 Lost souls to recover, and form them afresh,
Our wonderful Lover took flesh of our flesh;
From sin to release us – that yoke so long worn,
The holy child Jesus of Mary was born.
3 Poor sinners dejected, of comfort debarred,
Whose hearts are afflicted because they’re so hard;
Despairing of favour – cold, lifeless, forlorn,
Remember, the Saviour in winter was born.
4 And ye that sincerely confide in the Lamb,
(He loves you most dearly) rejoice in his name;
No more the believer from God shall be torn –
To hold him for ever an Infant was born.
"And the Word was made flesh"
The Glory of the Lord revealed
Author: Watts Appears in 74 hymnals Topics: The Incarnation of Christ First Line: The Lord is come, the heav'ns proclaim Lyrics: 1 The Lord is come; the heav'ns proclaim
His birth; the nations learn his name;
An unknown star directs the road
Of eastern sages to their God.
2 All ye bright armies of the skies,
Go, worship where the Saviour lies;
Angels and kings before him bow,
Those gods on high and Gods below.
3 Let idols totter to the ground,
And their own worshippers confound;
But Judah shout, but Sion sing,
And earth confess her sov'reign king. Scripture: Psalm 97

In the bleak midwinter
Author: Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894) Meter: Irregular Appears in 96 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany; Angels; Mary; Offering of self Lyrics: 1 In the bleak midwinter,
frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron,
water like a stone;
snow had fallen,
snow on snow, snow on snow,
in the bleak midwinter,
long ago.
2 Our God, heaven cannot hold him,
nor earth sustain;
heaven and earth shall flee away
when he comes to reign:
in the bleak midwinter
a stable place sufficed
the Lord God incarnate,
Jesus Christ.
3 Enough for him whom cherubim
worship night and day,
a breastful of milk
and a mangerful of hay;
enough for him
whom angels fall down before,
the ox and ass and camel
which adore.
4 Angels and archangels
may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim
thronged the air;
but his mother only,
in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the beloved
with a kiss.
5 What can I give him,
poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb;
if I were a wise man,
I would do my part;
yet what I can I give him,
give my heart.
Scripture: 1 Kings 8:27 Used With Tune: CRANHAM
