The Day Must Come, The Judgement Day

Author: William W. Hull Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: The day must come, the judgment day Lyrics: 1 The day must come, the judgment day, On each fond idle dreamer, On every wanderer from the way, On every dark blasphemer! The Christ will come in dread array, Each eye behold, each heart obey, His Judge or his Redeemer! 2 We may grow hard, and not revere Each old prophetic token, Too willful and too proud to hear What God Himself hath spoken; Yet shall the Son of Man appear, And strongest hearts shall fail for fear, And wrath and pride be broken! 3 He comes in clouds! each dazzled eye And conscious heart confounding, Myriads of seraphim on high His glorious sign surrounding! Sun, moon, and stars, droop in the sky; The shout dies down; the Archangel’s cry; The trump of God is sounding! 4 Over each distant solitude That lonely blast is swelling, None shall its thrilling call elude, In earth or ocean dwelling: Death is disarmed; the grave subdued; To all the countless multitude Their doom is Jesus telling!

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the vict'ry won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me, Sin was my torment night and day, In sin my mother bore me; Still deeper in despair I fell, Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, And willed my soul's salvation; He turned to me a Father's heart; Not small the cost! to heal my smart, He gave His best and dearest. 4 He spoke to His belovèd Son: "'Tis time to have compassion: Then go, bright Jewel of My crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever." 5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully, And born of virgin mother, Came down upon the earth to me, That He might be my brother: His mighty power doth work unseen, He came in fashion poor and mean, And took the devil captive. 6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace, And sing Thy praise forever, For granting us in dire distress Thine everlasting favor. Both death and hell were stricken down, When Thou didst for our sins atone, O Jesus, blessèd Saviour. Amen.

In Death's Strong Grasp the Saviour Lay

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In Death's strong grasp the Saviour lay, For our offenses given: But now the Lord is risen to-day, And brings us life from heaven: And therefore let us all rejoice And praise our God with cheerful voice, And sing loud Hallelujahs. 2 No son of man could conquer death, Such evil sin had wrought us; For innocence dwelt not on earth, And therefore Death had brought us Into this thraldom from of old, And ever grew more strong and bold, His shadow lay athwart us. 3 But Jesus Christ, God's only Son, Has come for our salvation. The cause of death he has undone, And stopped his devastation; Christ ruined all his right and claim, And left him nothing but the name; His sting is lost forever. 4 It was a strange and dreadful strife, When life and death contended: The victory remained with life, The reign of death was ended; For Holy Scripture plainly saith, That death is swallowed up by death, And put to shame forever. 5 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, Whom God so freely gave us; He died on the accurséd tree, So strong His love! to save us: The atoning blood now marks our door, Faith points to it, death passes o'er, He never more can harm us. 6 So let us keep the festival, Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun which warms and lights us: And by His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. 7 Then let us feast this Easter-day On the true Bread of heaven; The Word of grace hath purged away The old and wicked leaven: For Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other.

Lord Jesus, Thou art truly good!

Author: Samuel Kinner; Rev. Emanuel Cronenwett, D. D. Appears in 16 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, Thou art truly good! Thou spreadst for our salvation Thy body and Thy blood as food, And giv'st us invitation; As weary souls, with sin oppress'd, We come to Thee for needed rest, For counsel and forgiveness. 2 Although Thou didst ascend to heaven, And saints there fall before Thee, And now to mortals 'tis not given By sight here to adore Thee, Till Thou shalt come from heaven again Upon Thy throne, to judge all men, When all shall bow before Thee; 3 Yet art Thou ever nigh us, Lord, And with Thy congregation; And not confined, so says Thy Word, To any habitation. Thy Word still, as a wall unmoved, Stands firm, however tried and proved By men,—though e'er so learned. 4 "Eat, drink;" "This is my body—blood; Thou sayest! We believe Thee! Here with our lips we take this food, And orally receive Thee. What Thou hast spoken, that must be, Thou art almighty, and with Thee Impossible is nothing! 5 Frail reason doth indeed not see How Thou in many places, With self-same body, Lord, canst be, But faith Thy Word embraces. How it can be, I leave to Thee, Thy Word, O Lord, sufficeth me; And Thou wilt that we trust it. 6 Lord! I believe, in simple trust, 'Tis all that doth become me, For I am nought but sinful dust: O take Thy Word not from me! Thy Baptism, Supper, and Thy Word My comfort are and stay, O Lord, For these contain my treasure. 7 Grant, that in humble penitence We come and stand before Thee, Intent with new obedience Hereafter to adore Thee; Refresh us with Thy saving grace, And keep us firm throughout our days, The will our walk be godly. 8 For such consoling Supper, Lord, Be praised throughout all ages! Preserve it pure, since 'gainst the word "This is!" the world so rages. Grant, that Thy body and Thy blood Be my sole comfort and sweet food, In my last hour. Yea, Amen!

Nun Freut Euch

Author: Martin Luther Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Appears in 36 hymnals First Line: Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g’mein Lyrics: 1 Nun freut euch, lieben Christen g’mein, Und lasst uns fröhlich springen, Dass wir getrost und all in ein Mit Lust und Liebe singen: Was Gott an uns gewendet hat, Und seine süsse Wunderthat, Gar theur hat er’s erworben. 2 Dem Teufel ich gefangen lag, Im Tod war ich verloren, Mein’ Sünd’ mich quälet Nacht und Tag, Darin war ich geboren, Ich fiel auch immer tiefer d’rein, Es war kein gut’s am Leben mein, Die Sünd’ hat mich besessen. 3 Mein’ gute Werk’ die galten nicht, Es war mit ihm verdorben; Der frei Will’ hasset Gottes G’richt, Er war zum Gut’n erstorben; Die Angst mich zu verzweifeln trieb, Dass nichts denn Sterben bei mir blieb, Zur Hölle musst ich sinken. 4 Da jammert’s Gott in Ewigkeit Mein Elend über Massen, Er dacht’ an sein’ Barmherzigkeit, Er wollt’ mir helfen lassen; Er wandt’ zu mir das Vaterherz, Es war bei ihm fürwahr kein Scherz, Er liess sein Bestes kosten. 5 Er sprach zu seinem lieben Sohn: Die Zeit ist hier zu ’rbarmen, Fahr’ hin mein’s Herzens werthe Kron’ Und sei das Heil dem Armen, Und hilf ihm aus der Sünden Noth, Erwuerg’ für ihn den bittern Tod Und lass’ ihn mit dir leben. 6 Der Sohn dem Vater g’horsam ward, Er kam zu mir auf Erden, Von einer Jungfrau rein und zart, Er sollt’ mein Bruder werden. Gar heimlich fuehrt er sein’ Gewalt, Er ging in meiner armen G’stalt, Den Teufel wollt’ er fangen. 7 Er sprach zu mir: halt’ dich an mich, Es soll dir jetzt gelingen, Ich geb’ mich selber ganz für dich, Da will ich fuer dich ringen; Denn ich bin dein und du bist mein, Und wo ich bleib’, da sollst du sein, Uns soll der Feind nicht scheiden. Vergiessen wird er mir mein Blut, Dazu mein Leben rauben, Das leid’ ich alles dir zu gut, Das halt’ mit festem Glauben. Den Tod vorschlingt das Leben mein, Mein’ Unschuld traegt die Sünde dein, Da bist du selig worden. Gen Himmel zu dem Vater mein Fahr’ ich von diesem Leben, Da will ich sein der Meister dein, Den Geist will ich dir geben, Der dich in Trübniss troesten soll Und lehren mich erkennen wohl, Und in der Wahrheit leiten. Was ich gethan hab’ und gelehrt, Das sollst du thun und lehren, Damit das Reich Gott’s werd’ gemehrt Zu Lob’ und seinen Ehren; Und huet’ dich vor der Menschen G’sats, Davon verdirbt der edle Schatz, Das lass’ ich dir zur Letze.

The Day is Surely Drawing Near

Author: Philip A. Peter; Bartholomäus Ringwald Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 34 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near When God's Son, the Anointed, Shall with great majesty appear As Judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease When flames on flames will still increase, As Scripture truly teacheth. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound And all the earth be shaken. Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live shall in that hour By the Almighty's boundless pow'r 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 ev'ry heart be clearly seen, And all be known as they have been In tho'ts 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 To Satan be delivered. 5 O Jesus, who my debt didst pay And for my sin wast smitten, Within the Book of Life, oh, may My name be also written! 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 blood 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 O Jesus Christ, do not delay, But hasten our salvation; We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee; Come, mighty Judge, and make us free From every evil! Amen. Amen. Topics: The Last Things Judgment Scripture: Luke 21:25-36 Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH

Lord Over All, If Thou Hast Made

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.87.8.8.7 Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Lord over all, if Thou hast made, Hast ransomed every soul of man, Why is the grace so long delayed? Why unfilled the saving plan? The bliss for Adam’s race designed, When will it reach to all mankind? When will it reach to all mankind? 2. Art Thou the God of Jews alone? And not the God of Gentiles, too? To Gentiles make Thy goodness known; Thy judgments to the nations show; Awake them by the Gospel call; Light of the world, illumine all! Light of the world, illumine all! 3. As lightning launched from east to west, The coming of Thy kingdom be; To Thee, by angel hosts confessed, Bow every soul and every knee; Thy glory let all flesh behold, And then fill up Thy heavenly fold. And then fill up Thy heavenly fold. Used With Tune: NUN FREUT EUCH Text Sources: Hymns of Intercession, 1758
