Great God, what do I see and hear!

Author: J. Cotterill; W. B. Collyer Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 296 hymnals Topics: Day of Judgment Lyrics: 1 Great God! what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear On clouds of glory seated! The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet Him! 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise At the last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies; With joy their Lord surrounding: No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet Him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold His wrath prevailing; For they shall rise and find their tears And sighs are unavailing; The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling, they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet Him. 4 Great God, to Thee my spirit clings, Thy boundless love declaring; One wondrous sight my comfort brings, The Judge my nature wearing. Beneath His cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Him. Amen. Used With Tune: LUTHER'S HYMN

Sinners and Saints in the Wreck of Nature

Author: President Davies Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: The Day of Judgment First Line: How great, how terrible that God Lyrics: 1 How great, how terrible that God, Who shakes creation with his nod! He frowns—earth, sea, all nature's frame Sink in one universal flame. 2 Where now, O where shall sinners seek For shelter in the general wreck; Shall falling rocks be o'er them thrown? See rocks, like snow, desolving down. 3 In vain for mercy now they cry; In lakes of liquid fire they lie; There on the flaming billows tost, For ever—O forever lost. 4 But saints, undaunted and serene Your eyes view the dreadful scene; Your savior lives, the worlds expire, And earth and skies desolve in fire. 5 Jesus, the helpless creature's friend, To thee my all I dare commend. Thou canst preserve my feeble soul, When Lightnings blaze from pole to pole.

Psalm 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 117 hymnals Topics: Blessings of a person; End of the righteous and wicked; Happy saint and cursed sinner; Judgment day; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked; Meditation; Punishment of sinners; Saints and sinner's end; Saints and Sinners' portion; Saints happy, and sinners cursed; Sinner and saint's portion; Sinner cursed, and saint happy First Line: The man is ever blessed Lyrics: The man is ever blessed Who shuns the sinners' ways, Among their counsels never stands, Nor takes the scorner's place; But makes the law of God His study and delight, Amidst the labors of the day, And watches of the night. He like a tree shall thrive, With waters near the root; Fresh as the leaf his name shall live; His works are heav'nly fruit. Not so th' ungodly race, They no such blessings find; Their hopes shall flee, like empty chaff Before the driving wind. How will they bear to stand Before that judgment-seat, Where all the saints at Christ's right hand In full assembly meet? He knows, and he approves, The way the righteous go; But sinners and their works shall meet A dreadful overthrow. Scripture: Psalm 1

Psalm 149

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Topics: Judgment day; Persecutors punished; Vengeance against the enemies of the church; Praise from the saints; Saints judging the world; Triumph at the last day First Line: All ye that love the Lord, rejoice Lyrics: All ye that love the Lord, rejoice, And let your songs be new; Amidst the church with cheerful voice His later wonders show. The Jews, the people of his grace, Shall their Redeemer sing; And Gentile nations join the praise, While Zion owns her King. The Lord takes pleasure in the just, Whom sinners treat with scorn; The meek that lie despised in dust Salvation shall adorn. Saints should be joyful in their King, E'en on a dying bed; And like the souls in glory sing; For God shall raise the dead. Then his high praise shall fill their tongues Their hands shall wield the sword; And vengeance shall attend their songs, The vengeance of the Lord. When Christ the judgment-seat ascends, And bids the world appear, Thrones are prepared for all his friends Who humbly loved him here. Then shall they rule with iron rod Nations that dared rebel; And join the sentence of their God On tyrants doomed to hell. The royal sinners bound in chains New triumphs shall afford: Such honor for the saints remains; Praise ye, and love the Lord! Scripture: Psalm 149

Blest is the Man who shuns the Place

Appears in 102 hymnals Topics: Blessings of a person; Charity and justice; End of Righteous and Wicked; Happy Saint and cursed Sinner; Judgment day; Love of God to the righteous, and hatred to the wicked; Meditation; Saints and Sinners End; Saints and Sinners Portion; Way of Righteous and Wicked Lyrics: 1 Blest is the Man who shuns the Place Where Sinners love to meet; Who fears to tread their wicked Ways, And hates the Scoffer's Seat: 2 But in the Statutes of the Lord Has plac'd his chief Delight; By Day he reads or hears the Word, And meditates by Night. 3 [He like a Plant of gen'rous Kind, By living Waters set, Safe from the Storms and blasting Wind, Enjoys a peaceful State.] 4 Green as the Leaf, and ever fair Shall his Profession shine; While Fruit of Holiness appear Like Clusters on the Vine. 5 Not so the Impious and unjust; What vain Designs they form! Their Hopes are blown away like Dust, Or Chaff before the Storm. 6 Sinners in Judgment shall not stand Amongst the Sons of Grace, When Christ the Judge at his right Hand, Appoints his Saints a Place. 7 His Eye beholds the Path they tread, His Heart approves it well; But crooked Ways of Sinners lead Down to the Gates of Hell. Scripture: Psalm 1

Come, Lord Jesus

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 33 hymnals Topics: The Day of Judgment First Line: When shall thy lovely face be seen? Lyrics: 1 When shall thy lovely face be seen? When shall our eyes behold our God? What lengths of distance lie between, And hills of guilt? a heavy load! 2 Our months are ages of delay, And slowly every moment wears: Fly, wingèd time, and roll away These tedious rounds of sluggish years. 3 Ye heavenly gates, loose all your chains, Let the eternal pillars bow; Blest Savior, cleave the starry plains, And make the crystal mountains flow. 4 Hark, how thy saints unite their cries, And pray and wait the general doom: Come, Thou, the Soul of all of our Joys, Thou, the Desire of Nations, come. 5 Put thy bright robes of triumph on, And bless our eyes, and bless our ears, Thou absent Love, thou dear Unknown, Thou Fairest of ten thousand Fairs.
