The Day is Near, the Judgment is at Hand

Author: John Mason Neale; Theodore of the Studium Hymnal: Hymns of the Eastern Church (5th ed.) #178 (1866) Meter: 10.10.10.10.6.6 Lyrics: The Day is near, the judgment is at hand, Awake, my soul, awake, and ready stand! Where chiefs shall go with them that filled the throne, Where rich and poor the same tribunal own: And every thought and deed Shall find its righteous meed. There with the sheep the shepherd of the fold Shall stand together; there the young and old; Master and slave one doom shall undergo; Widow and maiden one tribunal know. Oh woe, oh woe, to them Whom lawless lives condemn! That Judgment-seat, impartial in decree, Accepts no bribe, admits no subtilty: No orator persuasion may exert, No perjured witness wrong to right convert: But all things, hid in night, Shall then be dragged to light. Let me not enter in the land of woe, Let me not realms of outer darkness know! Nor from the wedding-feast reject Thou me, For my soiled vest of immortality; Bound hand and foot, and cast In anguish that shall last! When Thou, the nations ranged on either side, The righteous from the sinners shalt divide, Then give me to be found amongst Thy sheep, Then from the goats Thy trembling servant keep: That I may hear the voice That bids Thy Saints rejoice! When righteous inquisition shall be made, And the books opened, and the thrones arrayed, My soul, what plea to shield thee canst thou know, Who hast no fruit of righteousness to show, No holy deeds to bring To CHRIST the LORD and King?, I hear the rich man’s wail and bitter cry, Out of the torments of eternity; I know, beholding that devouring flame, My guilt and condemnation are the same; And spare me, LORD, I say, In the great judgment Day! The WORD and SPIRIT, with the FATHER ONE, One Light and emanation of One Sun, The WORD by generation, we adore, The SPIRIT by procession, evermore; And with creation raise The thankful hymn of praise.

He Leads Us On

Author: Hiram O. Wiley Hymnal: The New Christian Hymnal #295 (1929) Meter: 10.10.10.10.6.6 First Line: He leads us by paths we did not know Lyrics: 1. He leads us on by paths we did not know. Upward He leads us, tho' our steps be slow; Tho' oft we faint and falter on the way, Tho' storms and darkness oft obscure the day, Yet, when the clouds are gone, We know He leads us on. 2. He leads us on thro' all the' un-quiet years; Past all our dream-land hopes, and doubts, and fears He guides our steps; thro' all the tangled maze Of losses, sorrows, and o'er-clouded days We know His will is done, And still He leads us on. 3. And soon or late the rugged field of strife Shall catch the sunlight that transfigures life; The heart shall win the discipline of pain, And know the struggle has not been in vain; Its doubts and fears shall cease, And Christ will bring it peace.
