Refrain: For the coming of the Lord, For the coming of the Lord, For the coming of the Lord draweth nigh, When this world shall be on fire, And the dead shall rise again, For the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 2 Jesus said “you’d know ‘twas summer When you’d see the fig-tree bloom,” So likewise you’d know the end was near, When He should come again, When at midnight’s lonely hour, We should hear the welcome cry, “Go out, ye saints, to meet Him, For His coming draweth nigh. [Refrain] 3 How oft we ask each other, I wonder when He’ll come; I get so tired of waiting, It surely won’t be long; For the angel said He’d come again, The day He went on high; And Jesus said, “Keep watching, For my coming draweth nigh. [Refrain] 4 The last they ever saw Him, ‘Twas up at Bethany, His disciples gathered ‘round Him, To hear what He might say; He raised His hands to bless them, As a chariot swept by, And took Him up to Heaven, But His coming draweth nigh.

The Death Line

Author: Addison Appears in 85 hymnals First Line: There is a time—we know not when, a point—we know not where Refrain First Line: Oh, come today, do not delay, too late it soon will be Lyrics: 1 There is a time—we know not when, a point—we know not where, That marks the destiny of men to glory or despair; There is a line, by us unseen, that crosses ev’ry path, The hidden boundary between God’s patience and His wrath. Refrain: Oh, come today, do not delay, too late it soon will be; To Jesus fly, for mercy cry, He waits to welcome thee. 2 To pass that limit is to die, to die as if by stealth; It does not quench the beaming eye, nor fade the glow of health; The conscience may be still at ease, the spirit light and gay; That which is pleasing, still may please, and care be thrust away. [Refrain] 3 But on that forehead God has set indelibly a mark, Unseen by man, for man, as yet, is blind and in the dark; And yet the doomed man’s path below like Eden may have bloomed, He did not, does not, will not know nor feel that he is doomed. [Refrain] 4 He thinks or feels that all is well, and ev’ry fear is calmed; He lives, he dies, he wakes in Hell, not only doomed but damned! Oh, where is this mysterious bourn by which our path is crossed, Beyond which God Himself hath sworn that he who goes is lost? [Refrain] 5 How far may we go on in sin? how long will God forbear? Where does hope end, and where begin the confines of despair? An answer from the skies is sent, “Ye that from God depart, While it is called “today” repent, and harden not your heart.” [Refrain] Scripture: Genesis 6:3 Used With Tune: [There is a time—we know not when, a point—we know not where]

The Refiner’s Fire

Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: He sat by a furnace of seven-fold heat Lyrics: 1 He sat by a furnace of seven-fold heat, As he watched by the precious ore, And closer He bent with a searching gaze, As He heated it more and more, He knew He had ore that would stand the test, And He wanted the finest gold To mould as a crown for the King to wear, Set with gems of a price untold. 2 So He laid our gold in the burning fire, Tho’ we fain would have said Him “Nay,” And He watched the dross that we had not seen, As it melted and passed away. And the gold grew brighter and yet more bright, But our eyes were so dim with tears, We saw but he fire—not the Master’s hand, And questioned with anxious fears. 3 Yet our gold shone out with a richer glow, As it mirrored a Form above, That bent o’er the fire, tho’ unseen by us, With a look of ineffable love. Can we think that it pleases His loving heart To cause us a moment’s pain? Ah, no! but He saw thro’ the present cross The bliss of eternal gain. 4 So He waited there with a watchful eye, With a love that is strong and sure, And His gold did not suffer a whit more heat Than was needed to make it pure, Dear soul, when God shall smelt thine ore, Shrink not from the furnace heat; ‘Twill only the dross from your heart remove, And leave it pure and sweet. Scripture: Malachi 3:1-3 Used With Tune: [He sat by a furnace of seven-fold heat]
