The day is surely drawing near

Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Christ Intercession of Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near, When God's Son, the Anointed, Will with great majesty appear, As Judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease, When flames on flames will still increase, As the Apostle teacheth. 2 A trumpet loud will then resound, And the whole earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live will in that hour, By the Almighty's boundless power, Be changed at His commanding. 3 A book is opened then to all, A record truly telling What each hath done, both great and small, When he on earth was dwelling. And every heart is clearly seen, And all are known as they have been, In thoughts and words and actions. 4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord, And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word, And loved their earthly treasures; With shame and trembling they will stand, And at the Judge's stern command Must leave the Lord forever. 5 O may my name, dear Lord, be found, Free from all condemnation, For Thy death's sake, Thy pains and wounds, In Thy book of salvation. I will not doubt--I trust in Thee-- From Satan Thou hast made me free, And from all condemnation. 6 Therefore my intercessor be, And for Thy death and merit Declare my name from judgment free, With all who life inherit, That I may see Thee face to face, With all Thy saints, in that blest place, Which Thou for us hast purchased. 7 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay, O hasten our salvation! We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee; Come, mighty Judge, come, make us free From every evil. Amen! Used With Tune: LINDEMAN

Lord, remember his devotion; Restless in his courts he trod Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God, Till he found a habitation Fit for Israel's mighty God. 2 Far away God's ark was resting; It is with His people now; We will go into His temple, At His footstool we will bow. With the ark Thy might revealing, Enter, Lord, into Thy rest; Let Thy priests be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest, Let thy priest be clothed with justice, Let Thy joyful saints be blest. 3 Let the king behold Thy favor For Thy servant David's sake, Unto whom a sacred promise, Sure and faithful, Thou didst make. If his children keep Thy covenant And Thy testimony own, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne, Then, as Thou, O Lord, hast promised, They shall sit upon his throne. 4 Thou, the Lord, hast chosen Zion, Thou hast ever loved her well; This my resting-place forever, Here, Thou sayst, I choose to dwell. Surely I will bless and help her, Feed her poor, her saints make glad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad, And her priests shall stand before Me In salvation's garments clad. 5 I will cause the might of David Ever more and more to grow, On the path of My Anointed I will make a lamp to glow; All His enemies shall perish, I will cover them with shame, But His crown shall ever flourish Blessed be His holy Name, But His crown shall ever flourish, Blessed be His holy Name.

For thou art all to me, And I am thine. Is there on earth a closer bond than this, That "my Beloved's mine, and I am his?" 2 Thine am I by all ties; But chiefly thine, That through thy sacrifice, Thou, Lord, art mine. By thine own cords of love, so sweetly wound Around me, I to thee am closely bound. 3 To thee, thou bleeding Lamb, I all things owe; All that I have and am, And all I know. All that I have is now no longer mine, And I am not mine own; Lord, I am thine. 4 How can I, Lord, withhold Life's brightest hour, From thee; or gathered gold, Or any power? Why should I keep one precious thing from thee, When thou hast given thine own dear self for me? Used With Tune: BUDLEIGH

Grant that our whole behaviour in truth and righteousness may praise you, Lord, our Saviour, whose holy name we bless. 4 You are our vine: O nourish your branches, so that we may grow in you and flourish and ever fruitful be; your Spirit pour within us, and let the gifts of grace to those good actions win us that best may show your praise.

Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 157 hymnals Topics: Christ Resurrection, Ascension, Intercession and Glory; The resurrection of Christ a source of Consolation Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord, Chase all your fears away; And bow with pleasure down to see The place where Jesus lay, 2 Thus low the Lord of life was brought! Such wonders love can do! Thus cold in death that bosom lay, Which throbb'd and bled for you! 3 A moment give a loose to grief; Let grateful sorrows rise; And wash the bloody stains away, With torrents from your eyes. 4 Then dry your tears, and tune your songs, The Saviour lives again! Not all the bolts and bars of death The Conqu'ror could detain. 5 High o'er th' angelic bands he rears His once dishonor'd head; And thro' unnumber'd years he reigns, Who dwelt among the dead, 6 With joy like his, shall ev'ry saint His empty tomb survey; Then rise with his ascending Lord Thro' all his shining way.

Yet God hath built his church thereon, In spite of envious Jews. 2 The work, O Lord, is thine, And wondrous in our eyes: This day declares it all divine, This day did Jesus rise. 3 Since he hath left the grave, His promises are true; And each exalted hope he gave, Confirm'd of heav'n we view. 4 Hosanna to the King Of David's royal blood! Bless him, ye saints; he comes to bring Salvation from your God. 5 O come the happy hour, When all the world shall own Thy Son, O God, declar'd with pow'r, And worship at thy throne! 6 We bless thy holy word, Which all this grace displays; And offer on thine altar, Lord! Our sacrifice of praise.
