Look to him, your Savior, in temptation's hour; let his will enfold you in its light and power. 6 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father's glory, o'er the earth to reign; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now.

Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at thy right hand? 2 I love to meet thy people now, Before thy feet with them to bow, Though vilest of them all; But, can I bear the piercing thought, What if my name should be left out, When thou for them shalt call? 3 O Lord, prevent it by thy grace, Be thou my only hiding-place, In this the accepted day; Thy pardoning voice, oh, let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear, Nor let me fall, I pray. 4 Among thy saints let me be found. Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound, To see thy smiling face; Then loudest of the throng I'll sing. While heaven's resounding mansions ring With shouts of sovereign grace.

Prepare to meet God

Author: William B. Collyer Appears in 296 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:11 First Line: Great God, what do I see and hear! Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet's sounding-- Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding; No gloomy fears their souls dismay, His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears, Behold his wrath prevailing; For they shall rise, and find their tears And sighs are unavailing: The day of grace is past and gone; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 Great God! what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of man I see appear, On clouds of glory seated: Beneath his cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepared to meet him.

O for a shout of sacred joy

Appears in 207 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:9 Lyrics: 1 O for a Shout of sacred Joy to God the sov'reign King! Let ev'ry Land their Tongues employ, and Hymns of Triumph sing. 2 Jesus, our God ascends on high; his heav'nly Guards around Attend him rising through the Sky, with Trumpet's joyful Sound. 3 While Angels shout and praise their King, let Mortals learn their Strains; Let all the Earth his Honours sing; o'er all the Earth he reigns. 4 Rehearse his Praise with Awe profound, let Knowledge lead the Song; Nor mock him with a solemn Sound Upon a thoughtless Tongue. 5 In Isr'el stood his ancient Throne, he lov'd that chosen Race; But now he calls the World his own, And Heathens taste his Grace. 6 The British Kingdoms are the Lord's, there Abr'am's God is known, While Pow'rs and Princes, Shields and Swords, submit before his Throne.

See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Scripture: Acts 1:9 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph; see the King in royal state, riding on the clouds, his chariot, to his heavenly palace gate. Hark! the choirs of angel voices joyful alleluias sing, and the gates on high are opened to receive their heavenly King. 2 He who on the cross did suffer, he who from the grave arose, he has vanquished sin and Satan, he by death has spoiled his foes. While he lifts his hands in blessing, he is parted from his friends. While their eager eyes behold him, in the cloud the Lord ascends. 3 You have raised our human nature on the clouds to God's right hand; there we sit in heavenly places, there with you in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; man with God is on the throne! Mighty Lord, in your ascension we by faith can see our own.
