And why conceal his Face,
When great Calamities appear,
And Times of deep Distress?
2 Lord, shall the Wicked still deride
Thy Justice and thy Power?
Shall they advance their Heads in Pride,
And still thy Saints devour?
3 They put thy Judgments from their Sight,
And then insult the Poor;
They boast in their exalted Height,
That they shall fall no more.
4 Arise, O GOD, lift up thine Hand,
Attend our humble Cry;
No Enemy shall dare to stand,
When GOD ascends on high.
Pause.
5 Why do the Men of Malice rage,
And say, with foolish Pride,
"The GOD of Heav'ns will ne'er engage
"To fight on Zion's Side."
6 But thou for ever art our Lord,
And pow'rful is thine Hand,
As when the Heathen felt thy Sword,
And perish'd from thy Land.
7 Thou wilt prepare our Hearts to pray,
And cause thine Ear to hear;
He hearkens what his Children say,
And puts the World in Fear.
8 Proud Tyrants shall no more oppress,
No more despise the Just;
And mighty Sinners shall confess
They are but Earth and Dust. Scripture: Psalm 10
Why doth the Lord stand off so far?
Lo! He comes in clouds descending
Appears in 781 hymnals Topics: Future Punishment; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ; Wicked doom of Lyrics: 1 Lo! He comes with clouds descending,
Once for favor'd sinners slain;
Thousand, thousand saints attending,
Swell the triumph of His train:
Hallelujah,
Jesus now shall ever reign!
2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold Him
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at nought and sold Him,
Pierced and nail'd Him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,
Shall the great Messiah see!
3 Ev'ry island, sea, and mountain,
Heaven and earth shall flee away:
All who hate Him must, confounded,
Hear the trump proclaim the day;
Come to judgment!
Come to judgment! come away!
4 Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear!
All His saints by man rejected,
Now shall meet Him in the air!
Hallelujah!
See the day of God appear!
5 Yea! amen! let all adore Thee,
High on Thine eternal throne;
Saviour! take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdoms for Thine own!
Oh, come quickly!
Hallelujah! come, Lord, come!
Lo! He comes in clouds descending
The day of wrath, that dreadful day
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 348 hymnals Topics: Future Punishment; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ; Wicked doom of Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day,
When heaven and earth shall pass away--
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?
2 When, shriv'ling like a parchéd scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll,
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Resounds the trump that wakes the dead?
3 Oh, on that day, that wrathful day,
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away.
The day of wrath, that dreadful day
Thou Judge of quick and dead
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 193 hymnals Topics: Future Punishment; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ; Wicked doom of Lyrics: 1 Thou Judge of quick and dead,
Before whose bar severe,
With holy joy, or guilty dread,
We all shall soon appear:
2 Our anxious souls prepare
For that tremendous day;
And fill us now with watchful care,
And stir us up to pray.
3 To pray, and wait the hour,
That awful hour unknown,
When, robed in majesty and power,
Thou shalt from heaven come down.
4 Oh, may we all be found
Obedient to Thy word--
Attentive to the trumpet’s sound,
And looking for our Lord!
5 Oh, may we thus ensure
A home among the blest;
And watch a moment, to secure
An everlasting rest!
Thou Judge of quick and dead
When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come
Appears in 441 hymnals Topics: Future Punishment; Judgment; Second Coming of Christ; Wicked doom of Lyrics: 1 When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come
To call Thy ransom'd people home,
Shall I among them stand?
Shall such a worthless worm as I,
Who sometimes am afraid to die,
Be found at Thy right hand?
2 I love to meet among them now,
Before Thy gracious feet to bow,
Though vilest of them all;
But, can I bear the piercing thought?
What if my name should be left out,
When Thou for them shalt call?
3 Prevent it, Lord, by Thy rich grace;
Be Thou my soul's sure hiding-place,
In this, th'accepted day;
Thy pard'ning voice, oh, let me hear,
To still my unbelieving fear;
Nor let me fall, I pray.
4 Let me among Thy saints be found,
Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound,
To see Thy smiling face:
Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing,
While heaven's resounding mansions ring
With shouts of sov'reign grace.
When Thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come
