Great God, what do I see and hear!
Author: Thomas Cotterill; Anon.; William B. Collyer Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 300 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth 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 mankind doth appear
On clouds of glory seated!
Beneath his cross I view the day
When heav'n and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet him.

We come unto our fathers' God
Across the Sky the Shades of Night
Author: James Hamilton Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 29 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Across the sky the shades of night
This New Year’s Eve are fleeting,
We deck Thine altar, Lord, with light,
In solemn worship meeting;
And as the year’s last hours go by,
We raise to Thee our earnest cry,
Once more Thy love entreating.
2 Before the cross subdued we bow,
To Thee our prayers addressing,
Recounting all Thy mercies now,
And all our sins confessing;
Beseeching Thee this coming year
To keep us in Thy faith and fear
And crown us with Thy blessing.
3 And while we pray, we lift our eyes
To dear ones gone before us,
Safe home with thee in Paradise,
Whose peace descendeth o’er us;
And beg of Thee, when life is past,
To reunite us all at last
With those who’ve gone before us.
4 We gather up in this brief hour
The mem'ry of Thy mercies;
Thy wondrous goodness, love and pow'r
Our grateful song rehearses;
For Thou hast been our Strength and Stay
In many a dark and dreary day
Of sorrow and reverses.
5 In many an hour when fear and dread,
Like evil spells, have bound us
And clouds were gathering overhead,
Thy providence hath found us.
In many a night when seas ran high,
Thy gracious presence, drawing nigh,
Hath made all calm around us.
6 Then, O great God, in years to come,
Whatever may betide us,
Right onward through our journey home
Be Thou at hand to guide us;
Nor leave us till at close of life,
Safe from all perils, toil, and strife,
Heaven shall enfold and hide us.
Amen. Topics: The Church Year New Year's Eve Scripture: Psalm 121:1 Used With Tune: ALLEIN GOTT IN DER HÖH'

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. Topics: Easter Used With Tune: ES IST GEWISSLICH AN DER ZEIT
In Death's Strong Grasp the Saviour Lay
O Holy Spirit, Grant Us Grace
Author: B. Ringwaldt, 1532-99; O. H. Smeby, 1851-1929 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 13 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Holy Spirit, grant us grace
That we our Lord and Savior
In faith and fervent love embrace
And truly serve Him ever,
So that when death is drawing nigh,
We to His open wounds may fly
And find in them salvation.
2 Help us that we Thy saving Word
In faithful hearts may treasure;
Let e’er that Bread of Life afford
New grace in richest measure.
Yea, let us die to ev'ry sin,
For heav’n create us new within
That fruits of faith may flourish.
3 And when our earthly race is run,
Death’s bitter hour impending,
Then may Thy work in us begun
Continue until life’s ending.
Until we gladly may commend
Our souls into our Savior’s hand
To rest in peace eternal.

the God of power, the God of love, the God of our salvation.
My soul with comfort rich he fills, and every grief he gently stills:
to God all praise and glory!
2 What God’s almighty power has made, in mercy he is keeping;
by morning glow or evening shade his eye is never sleeping.
And where he rules in kingly might, there all is just and all is right:
to God all praise and glory!
3 We sought the Lord in our distress; O God, in mercy hear us.
Our Savior saw our helplessness and came with peace to cheer us.
For this we thank and praise the Lord, who is by one and all adored:
to God all praise and glory!
4 Let all who name Christ’s holy name give God the praise and glory.
Let all who know his power proclaim aloud the wondrous story.
Cast every idol from its throne; the Lord is God, and he alone:
to God all praise and glory!
