When Descending from the Sky
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #7365 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.7.7.6 Lyrics: 1. When descending from the sky
The Bridegroom shall appear;
And the solemn midnight cry,
Shall call professors near:
How the sound our hearts will damp!
How will shame o’erspread each face!
If we only have a lamp,
Without the oil of grace.
2. Foolish virgins then will wake
And seek for a supply;
But in vain the pains they take
To borrow or to buy:
Then with those they now despise,
Earnestly they’ll wish to share;
But the best, among the wise,
Will have no oil to spare.
3. Wise are they, and truly blest,
Who then shall ready be
But despair will seize the rest,
And dreadful misery:
Once, they’ll cry, we scorned to doubt,
Though in lies our trust we put;
Now our lamp of hope is out,
The door of mercy shut.
4. If they then presume to plead,
Lord open to us now;
We on earth have heard and prayed,
And with thy saints did bow:
He will answer from his throne,
Though you with My people mixed,
Yet to Me you ne’er were known,
Depart, your doom is fixed.
5. O that none who worship here
May hear that word, Depart!
Lord impress a godly fear
On each professor’s heart:
Help us, Lord, to search the camp,
Let us not ourselves beguile;
Trusting to a dying lamp
Without a stock of oil. Languages: English Tune Title: AMSTERDAM

Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCCXIX (1791) First Line: When descending from the Sky Lyrics: 1 When descending from the Sky,
The Bridegroom shall appear;
And the solemn Midnight Cry,
Shall call Professors near;
How the Sound our Hearts will damp!
How will Shame o'erspread each Face!
If we only have a Lamp,
Without the Oil of Grace.
2 Foolish Virgins then will wake,
And seek for a Supply;
But in vain the Pains they take
To borrow or to buy:
Then with those they now despise,
Earnestly they'll wish to share;
But the best among the Wise,
Will have no Oil to spare.
3 Wise are they, and truly blest,
Who then shall ready be!
But despair will seize the rest,
And dreadful Misery:
"Once, they'll cry, we scorn'd no doubt,
"Tho' in Lies our Trust we put;
"Now our Lamp of Hope is out,
"The Door of Mercy shut."
4 If they then presume to plead,
"Lord open to us now;
"We on Earth have heard and pray'd
"And with thy Saints did bow;"
He will answer from his Throne,
"Tho' you with my People mix'd,
"Yet to me you ne'er were known,
"Depart, your Doom is fix'd."
5 O that none who worship here
May hear the Word, Depart!
Lord, impress a godly Fear
On each Professor's Heart:
Help us Lord, to search the Camp,
Let us not ourselves beguile;
Trusting to a dying Lamp,
Without a Stock of Oil.

When Christ descending from the skies
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CL (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ descending from the skies,
As Bridegroom shall appear;
With solemn sound of midnight cries,
To call professors near.
2 That sound will strike an awful damp,
And shew the awful case
Of those who only have the lamp,
Without the oil of grace.
3 The foolish virgins shall awake,
And seek for a supply;
But all in vain they undertake,
To borrow or to buy.
4 Then shall they see that those were wise,
Who they despised here;
And now unto their great surpirze:
They see them happy there.
5 The wise will then be truly blest,
There to be glorified;
But sad distress shall seize the rest,
Whose entrance is denied.
6 In vain they shall attempt to plead:
Lord, with thy Saints we bow'd;
Oft in thy presence we have pray'd,
And sung thy praise aloud.
7 The Lord shall answer from his throne!
Depart ye wicked crew:
I never knew, nor cannot own
Such hypocrites as you.
8 O may my worship be sincere,
Sincere with all my heart--
That I may never need to fear,
To hear the word, depart! Topics: 27th Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13 Languages: English
