Shall man, O God of light and life

Author: Timothy Dwight Appears in 114 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Hope of Resurrection and Future Life Lyrics: 1 Shall man, O God of light and life, Forever moulder in the grave? Canst Thou forget Thy glorious work, Thy promise and Thy pow'r to save? 2 Shall life revisit dying worms, And spread the joyful insect's wing! And, oh! shall man awake no more To see Thy face, Thy name to sing? 3 Cease, cease, ye vain desponding fears! When Christ, our Lord, from darkness sprung, Death, the last foe, was captive led, And heav'n with praise and wonder rung. 4 Him, the First-Fruits, His chosen sons Shall follow from the vanquished grave; He mounts His throne, the King of kings, His Church to quicken and to save. 5 Faith sees the bright, eternal doors Unfold to make His children way; They shall be clothed with endless life, And shine in everlasting day. 6 The trump shall sound, the dust awake; And from the tomb the slumb'rers spring; Through heav'n the joyful myriads rise, And hail their Savior and their King.

The day is surely drawing near

Author: Bartholomäis Ringwalt; Rev. P. A. Peter Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Judgment; Christian Life and Hope The Consummation: Judgment 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 shall then resound And all the earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live shall 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 ev'ry heart be clearly seen, And all be 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 have 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 with my brethren I may stand With Thee in heaven, our fatherland, 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 ev'ry evil. Amen!

My soul, repeat His praise

Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 469 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise; Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Praise Lyrics: 1 My soul, repeat His praise Whose mercies are so great; Whose anger is so slow to rise, So ready to abate. 2 High as the heavens are raised Above the ground we tread, So far the riches of His grace Our highest thoughts exceed. 3 His grace subdues our sins, And His forgiving love, Far as the east is from the west Doth all our guilt remove. 4 The pity of the Lord To those who fear His name, Is such as tender parents feel; He knows our feeble frame. 5 Our days are as the grass, Or like the morning flower! If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field, It withers in an hour. 6 But Thy compassions, Lord, To endless years endure; And children's children ever find Thy words of promise sure. Used With Tune: ST. THOMAS

Author: James Montgomery Appears in 518 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope The Walk of Godliness: Christian Resolve and Holiness Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter's power, Your Redeemer's conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour; Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray. 2 Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned; O the wormwood and the gall! O the pangs His soul sustained! Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss, Learn of Him to bear the cross. 3 Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb, There, adoring at His feet, Mark the miracle of time, God's own sacrifice complete: "It is finished!" hear Him cry: Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb, Where they laid His breathless clay; All is solitude and gloom; Who hath taken Him away? Christ is ris'n; He meets our eyes! Savior, teach us so to rise. Used With Tune: GETHSEMANE
