Bread of Heaven, Thou on earth our Food, our Stay! Alleluia! here the sinful Flee to thee from day to day: Intercessor, Friend of sinners, Earth's Redeemer, plead for me, Where the songs of all the sinless Sweep across the crystal sea. 4 Alleluia! King eternal, Thee the Lord of lords we own; Alleluia! born of Mary, Earth Thy footstool, heaven Thy throne: Thou within the veil hast entered, Robed in flesh, our great High-Priest; Thou on earth both Priest and Victim In the Eucharistic feast. 5 Alleluia! sing to Jesus! His the sceptre, His the throne; Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone; Hark! the songs of holy Sion Thunder like a mighty flood; Jesus out of every nation Hath redeemed us by His blood.

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.

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.

Day of wrath! oh, day of mourning!

Author: Wm. J. Irons Appears in 108 hymnals Topics: Day of Judgment Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath! oh, day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophet's warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! 2 Oh, what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On Whose sentence all dependeth. 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth; Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth; All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo! the Book exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded: Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 Whence the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, good Jesu, my salvation, Cost Thy wondrous Incarnation; Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me. Shall such grace be vainly brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the sinful woman saved'st; Thou the dying thief forgavest, And to me a hope vouchsafest. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With Thy favored sheep oh, place me! Nor among the goats abase me; But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doom'd to flames of woe unbounded, Call me with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Low I kneel with heart-submission, See, like ashes, my contrition; Help me in my last condition. 18 Ah! that day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning Man for judgment must prepare him; Spare, O God, in mercy, spare him. 19 Lord, all pitying, Jesus blest, Grant us Thine eternal rest. Amen.
