Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 341 hymnals Matching Instances: 5 First Line: Day of judgment! Day of wonders Lyrics: 1. Day of judgment! Day of wonders! Hark! the trumpet’s awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons wilt the sinner’s heart confound! 2. See the judge, our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! You who long for His appearing Then shall say, This God is mine! Gracious Savior, own me in that day for Thine! 3. At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature shaken By His look, prepares to flee. Careless sinner, what will then become of thee? 4. Horrors, past imagination, Will surprise your trembling heart, When you hear your condemnation, Hence, accursed wretch, depart! Thou, with Satan and his angels, have thy part! 5. Satan, who now tries to please you, Lest you timely warning take, When that word is past, will seize you, Plunge you in the burning lake: Think, poor sinner, thy eternal all’s at stake. 6. But to those who have confessèd, Loved and served the Lord below, He will say, Come near, ye blessèd, See the kingdom I bestow; You forever shall My love and glory know. 7. Under sorrows and reproaches, May this thought your courage raise! Swiftly God’s great day approaches, Sighs shall then be changed to praise. We shall triumph when the world is in a blaze.

Come, ye souls by sin afflicted, Bowed with fruitless sorrow down; By the broken law convicted, Through the cross behold the crown; Look to Jesus; mercy flows through Him alone. 2. Take His easy yoke and wear it; Love will make obedience sweet; Christ will give you strength to bear it, While His wisdom guides your feet Safe to glory, where His ransomed captives meet. 3. Blessèd are the eyes that see Him, Blest the ears that hear His voice; Blessèd are the souls that trust Him, And in Him alone rejoice; His commandments then become their happy choice. 4. Sweet as home to pilgrims weary, Light to newly opened eyes, Or full springs in deserts dreary, Is the rest the cross supplies; All who taste it shall to rest immortal rise. Used With Tune: ST.

Now, my soul, thy voice upraising

Author: Claude de Santeüil; John Chandler Appears in 6 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Now, my soul, thy voice upraising, Sing aloud in mournful strain Of the sorrows most amazing, And the agonizing pain, Which our Saviour Sinless bore, for sinners slain. 2 He the ruthless scourge enduring, Ransom for our sins to pay, Sinners by His own stripes curing, Raising those who wounded lay, Bore our sorrow, And removed our pains away. 3 He to liberty restored us By the very bonds He bare; And His nail-pierced limbs afford us Each a stream of mercy rare: Lo! He draws us To the Cross, and keeps us there. 4 When His painful life was ended, Then the spear transfixed His side: Blood and water thence descended, Pouring forth a double tide: This to cleanse us, That to heal us is applied. 5 Jesus! may Thy promised blessing Comfort to our souls afford; May we, now Thy love possessing, And at length our full reward, Ever praise Thee, As our ever-glorious Lord! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: ST. AUSTIN

It is He who bought our freedom, Bearing sin’s accursèd load; Mighty Savior! Who alone the wine press trod. 2 Nothing to Thy footstool bringing, But unworthiness and guilt, Solely to Thy merits clinging, All my hopes on Thee are built; Blessèd Jesus! Thou canst save me if Thou wilt! 3 Who is this that comes from Edom? But ’tis not as once He came; Trembling thousands now must meet Him On His car of cloud and flame; Guilty sinners! Who on earth despised His name. 4 Ne’er may I be of the number Who shall thus His throne surround, Startled from a guilty slumber By the final trumpet sound; Seeking shelter, Where no shelter can be found! 5 Oh, Thou Mighty One of Edom, Who the wine press trodd’st alone, Let me triumph in Thy freedom Which Thy bleeding love has won; Then I’ll meet Thee, Fearless, on Thy judgment throne!

God, Our Hope And Strength Abiding

Author: Benjamin H. Kennedy Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 God, our hope and strength abiding, Soothes our dread, exceeding nigh; Fear we not the world subsiding, Roots of mountains heaving high, Darkly heaving, Where in ocean’s heart they lie. 2 Let them roar, His awful surges; Let them boil—each dark-browed hill Tremble, where the proud wave urges: Here is yet one quiet rill; Her calm waters, Zion’s joy, flow clear and still. 3 Joy of God’s abode, the station Where the Eternal fixed His tent: God is there a strong salvation; On her place she towers unbent. God will aid her Ere the stars of morn be spent. 4 Heathens rage, dominions tremble, God spake out, earth melts away: God is where our hosts assemble, Jacob’s God, our rock and stay. Come, behold Him O’er the wide earth wars allay. 5 Come, behold God’s work of wonder, Scaring, wasting earth below; How He knapped the spear in sunder, How He broke the warrior’s bow. Wild war chariots Burn before Him, quenched as tow. 6 "Silence—for the Almighty know Me; O’er the heathen throned am I, Throned where earth must crouch below Me"— Lord of Hosts, we know Thee nigh: God of Jacob, Thou art still our rock on high.

O That Day Of Dread And Wonder

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O that day of dread and wonder, When to judgment Christ shall come! When a voice of more than thunder, Sounding through the silent tomb, Shall awaken All to their eternal doom! 2 Midst the crowds who then assemble, Naked at their judge’s throne, Who of all the most shall tremble? They that now among His own Dwell and worship, But whom Christ has never known. 3 Empty forms and loud profession, Offerings heaped upon His shrine, Where there is no heart impression, Cannot please the eye divine. All is worthless, Till the spirit, Lord, is Thine. 4 Light a flame of love within us; Tune our souls to prayer and praise; To Thy own blest image win us; Guide us in Thy righteous ways. Here convert us, And at last to glory raise. Used With Tune: ST. AUSTIN Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1834
