Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 342 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment, day of wonders, Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons, how the summons, Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for His appearing Then shall say, "This God is mine!" Gracious Saviour, Gracious Saviour, Own me on that day for Thine! 3 At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature, shaken By His looks, prepare to flee: Careless sinner, careless sinner What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessèd, Loved, and served the Lord below; He will say, "Come near ye blessèd, See the kingdom I bestow! You forever, you forever, Shall my love and glory know." Amen. Topics: Last Things Resurrection and Judgment; Trinity, Twenty-sixth Sunday Used With Tune: SIEH, HIER BIN ICH, EHRENKÖNIG

O look, the sight is glorious Lyrics: 1 Look, oh, look, the sight is glorious, see the man of sorrows now; from the fight returned victorious, ev'ry knee to him shall bow. Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crowns become the victor's brow. 2 Crown the Savior! Angels crown him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings; on the seat of pow'r enthrone him while the vault of heaven rings. Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown the Savior, King of kings. 3 Sinners in derision crowned him, mocking thus the Savior's claim; saints and angels crowd around him, own his title, praise his name. Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Spread abroad the victor's fame! 4 Hark! those burst of acclamation! Hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O, what joy the sight affords! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! Crown him! King of kings and Lord of lords!

Oh, love how deep To bleed and weep For thine own persecutors! 2 Thy cross, Redeemer, Thou didst bear; Our sins away Thou'st taken; Thine own Thou wilt us still declare, Though we have Thee forsaken, And gone astray: Yea, day by day Thy love is present with us. 3 Thy cross, O Saviour, Thou didst bear; Thy boundless might and glory, Forever praised by angels fair, And told in sacred story. Thou laidst aside, Naught shall abide, Save by the love that bleedeth. 4 Thy cross to victory Thou didst bear. Oh, grant that I, dear Saviour, May glory in the cross and share The heavenly joy and favor! Then shall my soul Have reached its goal Safe in Thy loving bosom.

Christian Joy in Death

Author: Paul Gerhardt; J. Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: My face, why should'st thou troubled be Lyrics: My face, why should’st thou troubled be When thou of death art hearing? Know it, it cannot injure thee, Contemplate it, ne’er fearing. When thou dost know Death, all its woe Will soon be disappearing. From the old serpent’s face first tear The mask he is assuming, And lo! no poison more is there, ’Tis harmless through the coming Of Christ to save, Who to the grave Went down, death thus o’ercoming. Thou, Lord, didst break our foe’s great pow’r, His sting thus from him taking, The butt of scorn he’s evermore, No mischief can be making. Thy precious blood Damps his hot mood, His ardour’s him forsaking. ’Twas sin that was the sting of death, And on to dying drove us, For ever done away sin hath Our Saviour, who did love us. Its pow’r and might Is broken quite, Though it to grief may move us. Now sin is dead, God’s anger’s turn’d, He’s reconcil’d; the Saviour Hath borne the curse our debts had earn’d, Restor’d us to God’s favour. Who was our foe Our friend is now, Is full of grace for ever. It cannot be, if Thou’rt my friend, That Thou would’st kill me ever; Thy Father’s heart can ne’er intend To death me to deliver, And who is e’er Thy child and heir By ill is injur’d never. But Thou, O Father! doest well When trials sore are grieving, When misery the life doth fill, The waves around us heaving, That us Thy hand To Fatherland Brings, from the floods relieving. When from the angry skies storms break, And mountains quake before them, The thunder of Thy wrath doth shake The hills, and pealeth o’er them, Then dost Thou come And takest home Thine own, Thou carest for them. When rage around our enemies, Our injury are seeking, When lions, wolves, and bears arise, Their vengeance on us wreaking, Thou tak’st Thy sheep, Dost safely keep Them near Thee, comfort speaking. And if the world treats evilly Him who to Thee is cleaving, Thou sayest, “Come to me, my son! Come, from me be receiving Love, pleasure, joy, That never cloy, That I for aye am giving.” And angel hosts then joyfully Descend, and round us hover, And tend the soul so carefully; And when life’s course is over To God on high It peacefully Goes with them ’neath their cover. The Lord His bride meets joyfully And saith, “Now welcome ever, I have espousèd thee to me, To all mine own come hither! Whom I ’fore thee Have brought to me, From yon world did deliver. “Thou true and faithful wast in heart, Wast ne’er asham’d to own me, And now receivest thou thy part, With crown of joy I crown thee. Thy part am I, Eternally Beside me I enthrone thee. “Of thine eyes now I dry the flood, Thy bitter tears am stilling; Here turn’d is to thy highest good, The grief thou once wert feeling; Of thy grief’s sea No one shall be Here save with rapture telling. “All my belov’d ones clothe I here In pure white linen ever, With joy in heaven they appear, Here envy felt is never. Here is no death, No cross nor scath, Good friends at all can sever.” O God! why should the thought of death With terror make me shiver? ’Tis he who’ll from the yoke beneath Of mis’ry me deliver. From torture He Will set me free, I can regret it never. For death is the Red Sea to me, Through which on dry land ever Thine Israel, so dear to Thee, Pass to the land of favour, Where milk and wine Flow ever in Full streams that cease shall never. It is heav’n’s golden door to me, The fiery car God sendeth, Wherein my spirit speedily To th’ angel choir ascendeth, When God shall say “Thy working day Of life below now endeth.” O sweetest joy, O blessèd rest! To all true-hearted given, Come, let mine eyes by Thee be press’d, In peace take me to heaven. May I roam there ’Mong pastures fair Where day ne’er knoweth even. What fails us here, there will He give, Full measure to us bringing, Our grateful songs shall He receive, From loving hearts up-springing. And there shall I Too, willingly Song after song be singing. Paul Gerhardt’s Spiritual Songs, 1867
