and praises throng to crown his head;
his name like sweet perfume shall rise
with ev'ry morning sacrifice.

dwell on his love with sweetest song;
and infant voices shall proclaim
their early blessings on his name.

the prisoners leap to lose their chains,
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.

peculiar honors to our king;
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud amen. Used With Tune: DUKE STREET

With milk and honey blest --
The sight of it refreshes
The weary and oppressed.
I know not, oh, I know not
What joys await us there,
What radiancy of glory,
What bliss beyond compare.
2 They stand, those halls of Zion,
All jubilant with song
And bright with many an angel
And all the martyr throng.
The Prince is ever in them;
The daylight is serene;
The pastures of the blessed
Are ever rich and green.
3 There is the throne of David,
And there, from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast;
And they who with their leader
Have conquered in the fight
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
4 Oh, sweet and blessed country,
The home of God's elect!
Oh, sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect!
Jesus, in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest;
You are with God the Father
And Spirit ever blest. Used With Tune: EWING

The Day Is Surely Drawing Near
Author: Bartholomaüs Ringwaldt, 1532-99; Philip A. Peter, 1832-1919 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: End Times Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near
When Jesus, God's anointed,
In all His power shall appear
As judge whom God appointed.
Then fright shall banish idle mirth,
And flames on flames shall ravage earth
As Scripture long has warned us.
2 The final trumpet then shall sound
And all the earth be shaken,
And all who rest beneath the ground
Shall from their sleep awaken.
But all who live will in that hour,
By God's almighty, boundless pow'r,
Be changed at His commanding.
3 The books are opened then to all,
A record truly telling
What each has 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
To Satan be delivered.
5 My Savior paid the debt I owe
And for my sin was smitten;
Within the Book of Life I know
My name has now been written.
I will not doubt, for I am free,
And Satan cannot threaten me;
There is no condemnation!
6 May Christ our intercessor be
And through His blood and merit
Read from His book that we are free
With all who life inherit.
Then we shall see Him face to face,
With all His saints in that blest place
Which He has purchased for us.
7 O Jesus Christ, do not delay,
But hasten our salvation;
We often tremble on our way
In fear and tribulation.
O hear and grant our fervent plea;
Come, mighty judge, and make us free
From death and ev'ry evil.
Scripture: Luke 21:25-36 Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH

Hark! A Thrilling Voice Is Sounding!
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 142 hymnals Topics: End Time Lyrics: 1 Hark! a thrilling voice is sounding!
"Christ is near," we hear it say.
"Cast away the works of darkness
all you children of the day!"
2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
from earth's bondage let us rise;
Christ, our sun, all sloth dispelling,
shines upon the morning skies.
3 See the Lamb, so long expected,
comes with pardon down from heav'n.
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
one and all, to be forgiv'n;
4 So, when next he comes in glory
and the world is wrapped in fear,
he will shield us with his mercy
and with words of love draw near.
5 Honor, glory, might, and blessing
to the Father and the Son
with the everliving Spirit
while unending ages run!

And left the lonesome place of death
Despite the rage of foes.

Shall dawn upon our race
The day when Christ in splendor comes
And we shall see His face.

The watchmen on the heights are crying,
"Awake, Jerusalem, arise!"

The Bridegroom comes -- awake!
Your lamps with gladness take! Alleluia!
With bridal care Yourselves prepare
To meet the Bridegroom who is near."

Christ Jesus, God's own Son. Hail! Hosanna!
The joyful call We answer all
And follow to the wedding hall."

Let saints and angels sing before you
With harp and cymbal's clearest tone.
Of one pearl each shining portal,
Where, dwelling with the choir immortal,
We gather round your radiant throne.
No vision ever brought,
No ear has ever caught Such great glory;
Therefore will we In victory
Sing hymns of praise eternally. Used With Tune: WACHET AUF
