An Awful Day Draws Near
Author: Mrs. V. G. Ramsey Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 An awful day draws near;
A storm of wrath must fall:
O, how shall those I love appear
Before the Judge of all!
2 The path of death they choose;
And boldly walk therein;
My soul with deepest sorrow views
Their danger and their sin.
3 Careless they press the brink
Of infinite despair;
Can I endure to see them sink
In hopeless ruin there?
4 I pour unceasing tears;
By day and night I cry;
Almighty Father, hear my prayers,
Nor let these sinners die. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalmody (Dover, NH: Freewill Baptist Printing Establishment, 1853)

William Henry Monk
1823 - 1889 Composer of "ABER" in The Cyber Hymnal William H. Monk (b. Brompton, London, England, 1823; d. London, 1889) is best known for his music editing of Hymns Ancient and Modern (1861, 1868; 1875, and 1889 editions). He also adapted music from plainsong and added accompaniments for Introits for Use Throughout the Year, a book issued with that famous hymnal. Beginning in his teenage years, Monk held a number of musical positions. He became choirmaster at King's College in London in 1847 and was organist and choirmaster at St. Matthias, Stoke Newington, from 1852 to 1889, where he was influenced by the Oxford Movement. At St. Matthias, Monk also began daily choral services with the choir leading the congregation in music chosen according to the church year, including psalms chanted to plainsong. He composed over fifty hymn tunes and edited The Scottish Hymnal (1872 edition) and Wordsworth's Hymns for the Holy Year (1862) as well as the periodical Parish Choir (1840-1851).
