Men of God, Go Take Your Stations

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 138 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Men of God, go take your stations; Darkness reigns throughout the earth: Go proclaim among the nations, Joyful news of heavenly birth; Bear the tidings Of the Savior’s matchless worth. 2. Of His Gospel not ashamèd, As the power of God to save, Go, where Christ was never namèd, Publish freedom to the slave; Blessèd freedom! Such as Zion’s children have! 3. What though earth and hell united Should oppose the Savior’s plan? Plead His cause, nor be affrighted, Fear ye not the face of man; Vain their tumult, Hurt His work they never can. 4. When exposed to fearful dangers, Jesus will His own defend; Borne afar, midst foes and strangers, Jesus will appear your Friend; And His presence Shall be with you to the end.

Lift Your Heads

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 90 hymnals First Line: Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus Lyrics: 1. Lift your heads, ye friends of Jesus, Partners in His sufferings here; Christ, to all believers precious, Lord of lords, shall soon appear: Mark the tokens of His heavenly kingdom near! 2. Close behind the tribulation Of the last tremendous days, See the flaming revelation, See the universal blaze! Earth and heaven melt before the Judge’s face! 3. Sun and moon are both confounded, Darkened into endless night, When, with angel hosts surrounded, In His Father’s glory bright, Christ the Savior shines, the everlasting Light. 4. See the stars from Heaven falling, Hark on earth the doleful cry, Men on rocks and mountains calling, While the glorious Judge draws nigh, Hide us, hide us, rocks and mountains, from His eye! 5. With what different exclamation Shall the saints His banner see! By the tokens of His passion, By the marks received for me, All discern Him, all with shouts cry out, Tis He! 6. Lo! ’tis He! Our hearts’ Desire, Come for His espoused below, Come to join us to His choir, Come to make our joys overflow, Palms of victory, crowns of glory to bestow. 7. Yes, the prize shall now be given, We His open face shall see; Love, the earnest of our heaven, Love, our full reward shall be; Love shall crown us kings through all eternity!

To The Ark Away, Or Perish

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To the ark away, or perish: Sinners, to the ark away; Vain the hope, that thousands cherish, Of deliverance in that day; When destruction Cometh, that no arm can stay. 2 Sinners, be advised, and haste ye To the ark that open lies; Why, O why, in folly waste ye Precious time that quickly flies? Soon your laughter Will be turned to mournful cries. 3 Hear the Lord Himself invite you, To His arms, a refuge sure; O believe Him, lest He smite you With a curse that none can cure; When He thunders, Who His anger can endure? 4 They are safe, and none beside them, Who the Savior’s word obey; They are safe, for He will hide them In the dark and gloomy day; He will hide them Till the storm has passed away. 5 Then a bright and glorious season Shall succeed, and never end; Hear Him then, for there is reason: Jesus is the sinner’s friend; Safe His people, Nothing shall His saints offend.

See, The Savior Comes To Judgment

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 See, the Savior comes to judgment, Wearing His imperial crown; Robed with brightest flames celestial, Dusky clouds He makes His throne: By His glory And His scepter He is known. 2 Now the trumpet wakes the nations, O’er the world its sound is spread; Shakes the earth, pervades the ocean, Calls to life the numerous dead: Now poor sinner, Whither canst thou hide Thy head? 3 Life in every urn is breathing, Every prison yields its store! Souls and bodies are uniting, Joining now to part no more: Day of wonders, Day of God’s almighty power. 4 Rebels who the Savior slighted Now confused before Him fly, Refuge take in rocks and mountains, To evade His piercing eye: Fear His vengeance, Seek for safety far and nigh. 5 But the mountains cannot hide them, Rocks regard not when they pray; ’Midst the general conflagration, Rocks and mountains melt away: Every refuge Disappears in that great day. 6 Jesus, but reveal Thy mercy, Tell, oh tell me l am Thine; Then, amidst dissolving nature, I will sing of grace divine: Swell Thy triumphs, And in hallelujahs join.

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Thus saith God of His Anointed: "He shall let My people go; ’Tis the work for Him appointed, ’Tis the work that He shall do; And My city He shall found, and build it, too." 2 He whom man with scorn refuses, Whom the favored nation hates, He it is Jehovah chooses, Him the highest place awaits; Kings and princes Shall do homage at His gates. 3 He shall humble all the scorners, He shall fill His foes with shame; He shall rise and comfort mourners By the sweetness of His name; To the captives He shall liberty proclaim. 4 He shall gather those that wandered; When they hear the trumpet’s sound, They shall join the sacred standard, They shall come and flock around; He shall save them: They shall be with glory crowned.
