The day is surely drawing near

Hymnal: Christian Hymns #230 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near, When God's Son, the Anointed, Will with great majesty appear, As Judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease, When flames on flames will still increase, As the Apostle teacheth. 2 A trumpet loud will then resound, And the whole earth be shaken; Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live will in that hour, By the Almighty's boundless power, Be changed at His commanding. 3 A book is opened then to all, A record truly telling What each hath done, both great and small, When he on earth was dwelling. And every heart is clearly seen, And all are known as they have been, In thoughts and words and actions. 4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord, And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word, And loved their earthly treasures; With shame and trembling they will stand, And at the Judge's stern command Must leave the Lord forever. 5 O may my name, dear Lord, be found, Free from all condemnation, For Thy death's sake, Thy pains and wounds, In Thy book of salvation. I will not doubt--I trust in Thee-- From Satan Thou hast made me free, And from all condemnation. 6 Therefore my intercessor be, And for Thy death and merit Declare my name from judgment free, With all who life inherit, That I may see Thee face to face, With all Thy saints, in that blest place, Which Thou for us hast purchased. 7 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay, O hasten our salvation! We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee; Come, mighty Judge, come, make us free From every evil. Amen!

Built on the Rock the Church doth stand

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnary #132 (1913) Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock the Church doth stand, Even when steeples are falling; Crumbled have spires in every land. Bells still are chiming and calling; Calling the young and old to rest, But above all the soul distrest, Longing for rest everlasting. 2 Surely in temples made with hands, God, the Most High, is not dwelling, High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He who heavens cannot contain Chose to abide our earth with men-- Built in our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house of living stones, Built for His own habitation; He through baptismal grace us owns Heirs of His wondrous salvation; Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell, With all His grace and His favor. 4 Now we may gather with our King; E'en in the lowliest dwelling: Praises to Him we there may bring, His wondrous mercy foretelling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Still we our earthly temples rear, That we may herald His praises; They are the homes where He draws near And little children embraces; Beautiful things in them are said, God there with us His cov'nant made, Making us heirs of His kingdom. 6 Here stands the font before our eyes Telling how God did receive us; Th'altar recalls Christ's sacrifice And what His table doth give us; Here sounds the word that doth proclaim Christ yesterday, today the same, Yea, and for aye our Redeemer. 7 Grant then, O God, where'er men roam, That when the church bells are ringing, Many in Jesus' faith may come Where He His message is bringing: I know mine own, mine own know me, Ye, not the world, my face shall see: My peace I leave with you, Amen.

Lo, in the wilderness a voice

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: The New English Hymnal #170b (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Lo, in the wilderness a voice 'Make straight the way' is crying: When men are turning from the light, And hope and love seem dying, The prophet comes to make us clean: 'There standeth one you have not seen, Whose voice you are denying.' 2 God give us grace to hearken now To those who come to warn us, Give sight and strength, that we may kill The vices that have torn us, Lest love professed should disappear In creeds of hate, contempt, and fear, That crush and overturn us. 3 When from the vineyard cruel men Cast out the heavenly powers And Christendom denies its Lord, The world in ruin cowers. Now come, O God, in thy great might! Unchanged, unchanging is thy right, Unswayed thy justice towers.

Built On The Rock, The Church Doth Stand

Author: N. F. S. Grundtvig; C. Doving Hymnal: American Lutheran Hymnal #92 (1930) Lyrics: 1 Built on the Rock, the Church doth stand, Even though steeples be falling; Crumble may spires in ev'ry land; Bells still are chiming and calling, Calling the young and old to rest. But above all the soul distressed, Longing for rest in the Savior. 2 Surely in temples made with hands God the Most High is not dwelling; High above earth His temple stands, All earthly temples excelling; Yet He who dwells in heav'n above Deigns to descend to us in love, Making our bodies His temple. 3 We are God's house, of living stones Built for His own habitation; He in our hearts as Sov'reign thrones, Granting us life and salvation; Were there but two to seek His face, He would draw near them with His grace, Blessings upon them bestowing. 4 Now we may gather with our King E'en in the lowliest dwelling; Praises to Him we there may bring, Bounteous mercy forth-telling; Jesus His grace to us accords, Spirit and life are all His words, His truth doth hallow the temple. 5 Grant then, O God, who dwell'st on high, That when the church bells are ringing Many to Jesus may draw nigh Where He His message is bringing: I know Mine own, Mine own know Me, Ye, not the world, My face shall see; My peace I leave with you. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Christian Church Languages: English Tune Title: MIRKEN
