The Day Must Come, The Judgement Day
Author: William W. Hull Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The day must come, the judgment day Lyrics: 1 The day must come, the judgment day,
On each fond idle dreamer,
On every wanderer from the way,
On every dark blasphemer!
The Christ will come in dread array,
Each eye behold, each heart obey,
His Judge or his Redeemer!
2 We may grow hard, and not revere
Each old prophetic token,
Too willful and too proud to hear
What God Himself hath spoken;
Yet shall the Son of Man appear,
And strongest hearts shall fail for fear,
And wrath and pride be broken!
3 He comes in clouds! each dazzled eye
And conscious heart confounding,
Myriads of seraphim on high
His glorious sign surrounding!
Sun, moon, and stars, droop in the sky;
The shout dies down; the Archangel’s cry;
The trump of God is sounding!
4 Over each distant solitude
That lonely blast is swelling,
None shall its thrilling call elude,
In earth or ocean dwelling:
Death is disarmed; the grave subdued;
To all the countless multitude
Their doom is Jesus telling! Used With Tune: NUN FREUT EUCH Text Sources: A Collection of Hymns for General Use (London: Hatchard & Son, 1833)
The Day Must Come, The Judgement Day
Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice,
With exultation springing,
And, with united heart and voice
And holy rapture singing,
Proclaim the wonders God hath done,
How His right arm the vict'ry won;
Right dearly it hath cost Him.
2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay,
Death brooded darkly o'er me,
Sin was my torment night and day,
In sin my mother bore me;
Still deeper in despair I fell,
Life had become a living hell,
So firmly sin possessed me.
3 Then God beheld my wretched state
With deep commiseration;
He thought upon His mercy great,
And willed my soul's salvation;
He turned to me a Father's heart;
Not small the cost! to heal my smart,
He gave His best and dearest.
4 He spoke to His belovèd Son:
"'Tis time to have compassion:
Then go, bright Jewel of My crown,
And bring to man salvation;
From sin and sorrow set him free,
Slay bitter death for him, that he
May live with Thee forever."
5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully,
And born of virgin mother,
Came down upon the earth to me,
That He might be my brother:
His mighty power doth work unseen,
He came in fashion poor and mean,
And took the devil captive.
6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace,
And sing Thy praise forever,
For granting us in dire distress
Thine everlasting favor.
Both death and hell were stricken down,
When Thou didst for our sins atone,
O Jesus, blessèd Saviour.
Amen.

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice
In Death's Strong Grasp the Saviour Lay
Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Death's strong grasp the Saviour lay,
For our offenses given:
But now the Lord is risen to-day,
And brings us life from heaven:
And therefore let us all rejoice
And praise our God with cheerful voice,
And sing loud Hallelujahs.
2 No son of man could conquer death,
Such evil sin had wrought us;
For innocence dwelt not on earth,
And therefore Death had brought us
Into this thraldom from of old,
And ever grew more strong and bold,
His shadow lay athwart us.
3 But Jesus Christ, God's only Son,
Has come for our salvation.
The cause of death he has undone,
And stopped his devastation;
Christ ruined all his right and claim,
And left him nothing but the name;
His sting is lost forever.
4 It was a strange and dreadful strife,
When life and death contended:
The victory remained with life,
The reign of death was ended;
For Holy Scripture plainly saith,
That death is swallowed up by death,
And put to shame forever.
5 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see,
Whom God so freely gave us;
He died on the accurséd tree,
So strong His love! to save us:
The atoning blood now marks our door,
Faith points to it, death passes o'er,
He never more can harm us.
6 So let us keep the festival,
Whereto the Lord invites us;
Christ is Himself the Joy of all,
The Sun which warms and lights us:
And by His grace He doth impart
Eternal sunshine to the heart;
The night of sin is ended.
7 Then let us feast this Easter-day
On the true Bread of heaven;
The Word of grace hath purged away
The old and wicked leaven:
For Christ alone our souls will feed,
He is our meat and drink indeed;
Faith lives upon no other. Topics: Easter Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH AN DER ZEIT

Lord Jesus, Thou art truly good!
Author: Samuel Kinner; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, Thou art truly good!
Thou spreadst for our salvation
Thy body and Thy blood as food,
And giv'st us invitation;
As weary souls, with sin oppress'd,
We come to Thee for needed rest,
For counsel and forgiveness.
2 Although Thou didst ascend to heaven,
And saints there fall before Thee,
And now to mortals 'tis not given
By sight here to adore Thee,
Till Thou shalt come from heaven again
Upon Thy throne, to judge all men,
When all shall bow before Thee;
3 Yet art Thou ever nigh us, Lord,
And with Thy congregation;
And not confined, so says Thy Word,
To any habitation.
Thy Word still, as a wall unmoved,
Stands firm, however tried and proved
By men,—though e'er so learned.
4 "Eat, drink;" "This is my body—blood;
Thou sayest! We believe Thee!
Here with our lips we take this food,
And orally receive Thee.
What Thou hast spoken, that must be,
Thou art almighty, and with Thee
Impossible is nothing!
5 Frail reason doth indeed not see
How Thou in many places,
With self-same body, Lord, canst be,
But faith Thy Word embraces.
How it can be, I leave to Thee,
Thy Word, O Lord, sufficeth me;
And Thou wilt that we trust it.
6 Lord! I believe, in simple trust,
'Tis all that doth become me,
For I am nought but sinful dust:
O take Thy Word not from me!
Thy Baptism, Supper, and Thy Word
My comfort are and stay, O Lord,
For these contain my treasure.
7 Grant, that in humble penitence
We come and stand before Thee,
Intent with new obedience
Hereafter to adore Thee;
Refresh us with Thy saving grace,
And keep us firm throughout our days,
The will our walk be godly.
8 For such consoling Supper, Lord,
Be praised throughout all ages!
Preserve it pure, since 'gainst the word
"This is!" the world so rages.
Grant, that Thy body and Thy blood
Be my sole comfort and sweet food,
In my last hour. Yea, Amen! Topics: The Catechism Holy Communion Used With Tune: MONMOUTH (Es ist gewisslich an der Zeit)
