Rise, O Lord! In All Thy Glory

Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Rise, O Lord! in all Thy glory On the last and dreadful day; Lo! the lofty hills are hoary, Trembling ere they melt away! Come to judgment! Come to judgment, Let Thy wheels no longer stay. 2 Crash on crash of distant thunder Peals aloud from pole to pole; As in wrath they burst asunder, And the skies together roll! Clothed in sackcloth! Clothed in sackcloth! Withering like a parchment scroll! 3 Now the universe in motion Sinks upon her funeral pyre, Earth dissolving, and the ocean Vanishing in final fire: Hark, the trumpet! Hark, the trumpet Loud proclaims the hour of ire! 4 Graves have yawned in countless numbers, From the dust the dead arise— Legions, out of silent slumbers Wake in overwhelmed surprise— Where all nature! Where all nature Wrecked and torn in ruin lies! 5 Lo! that last long separation As the cleaving crowds divide— And one dread adjudication Sends each soul to either side: Lord of mercy! Lord of mercy! How shall I that day abide? 6 Sign of safety! see it lightening, Once the cross of crimson shame! And with heavn’ly luster brightening Those who suffered in its name! Mighty millions! Mighty millions! Radiant with their wings of flame! 7 Rise, O Lord! in all Thy glory On Thine amaranthine throne! Thousand thousand worlds adore Thee, Bow their knee to Thee alone. Hail, Emmanuel! Hail, Emmanuel! Let our hearts be all Thine own! Used With Tune: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH Text Sources: The Passion of Jesus (London: Richardson & Son, 1852)

Long Ago, In Solemn Midnight

Author: William W. Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Long ago, in solemn midnight, Shepherds watched upon the plain, When a band of holy angels Sang the earliest Christmas strain. Refrain: Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Glory be to God on high! 2 Gently flowed the silent waters In the stillness of the night, And the glittering stars in heaven Shone with pure and silvery light. [Refrain] 3 Heav’n is opened, all its glory Bursts across the eastern sky, For the harmony of seraphs Tells that Christ, the Lord, is nigh. [Refrain] 4 Now the golden gates are open, Enter ye, who love the Lord; For the Savior’s love hath triumphed, As He promised in His Word. [Refrain] 5 Join the angels in their chorus, Praise the Lord, who came to die; Praises in the highest, praises; Glory be to God on high. [Refrain] Used With Tune: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH Text Sources: The Voice of St. John, and Other Poems (New York: Anson. D. F. Randolph, 1881)
