Again the Lord of Light and Life

O what a night was that which wrapped The heathen world in gloom! O what a Sun which rose this day Triumphant from the tomb! 3. This day be grateful homage paid, And loud hosannas sung; Let gladness dwell in every heart, And praise on every tongue. 4. Ten thousand different lips shall join To hail this welcome morn, Which scatters blessings from its wings To nations yet unborn.

All Glory to God in the Sky

Author: Charles Wesley Appears in 66 hymnals Lyrics: 1. All glory to God in the sky, And peace upon earth be restored! O Jesus, exalted on high, Appear our omnipotent Lord: Who meanly in Bethlehem born, Didst stoop to redeem a lost race, Once more to Thy creature return, And reign in Thy kingdom of grace. 2. When Thou in our flesh didst appear, All nature acknowledged Thy birth; Arose the acceptable year, And Heaven was opened on earth. Receiving its Lord from above, The world was united to bless The Giver of concord and love, The Prince and the Author of peace. 3. O wouldst Thou again be made known, Again in Thy Spirit descend, And set up in each of Thine own A kingdom that never shall end! Thou only art able to bless, And make the glad nations obey, And bid the dire enmity cease, And bow the whole world to Thy sway. 4. Come then to Thy servants again, Who long Thy appearing to know, Thy quiet and peaceable reign, In mercy establish below: All sorrow before Thee shall fly, And anger and hatred be o’er, And envy and malice shall die, And discord afflict us no more. 5. No horrid alarm of war Shall break our eternal repose; No sound of the trumpet is there, Where Jesus’ Spirit o’erflows: Appeased by the charms of Thy grace We all shall in amity join, And kindly each other embrace, And love with a passion like Thine.

If now, with eyes defiled and dim, We see the signs, but see not Him; O may His love the scales displace, And bid us see Him face to face! 4. Our former transports we recount, When with Him in the holy mount, These cause our souls to thirst anew, His marred but lovely face to view. 5. Thou glorious Bridegroom of our hearts, Thy present smile a heav’n imparts! Oh lift the veil, if veil there be, Let every saint Thy beauties see! Used With Tune: HAMBURG

Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 341 hymnals First Line: Day of judgment! Day of wonders Lyrics: 1. Day of judgment! Day of wonders! Hark! the trumpet’s awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons wilt 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 for Thine! 3. At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature shaken By His look, prepares to flee. Careless sinner, what will then become of thee? 4. Horrors, past imagination, Will surprise your trembling heart, When you hear your condemnation, Hence, accursed wretch, depart! Thou, with Satan and his angels, have thy part! 5. Satan, who now tries to please you, Lest you timely warning take, When that word is past, will seize you, Plunge you in the burning lake: Think, poor sinner, thy eternal all’s at stake. 6. But to those who have confessèd, Loved and served the Lord below, He will say, Come near, ye blessèd, See the kingdom I bestow; You forever shall My love and glory know. 7. Under sorrows and reproaches, May this thought your courage raise! Swiftly God’s great day approaches, Sighs shall then be changed to praise. We shall triumph when the world is in a blaze.
