And Will The God of Grace
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 59 hymnals Lyrics: 1. And will the God of grace
Perpetual silence keep?
The God of justice hold His peace,
And let His vengeance sleep?
2. Behold, what cursèd snares
The men of mischief spread!
The men that hate thy saints and Thee
Lift up their threatening head.
3. Against Thy hidden ones
Their counsels they employ
And malice, with her watchful eye,
Pursues them to destroy.
4. The noble and the base
Into Thy pastures leap;
The lion and the stupid ass
Conspire to vex Thy sheep.
5. Come, let us join, they cry,
To root them from the ground,
Till not the name of saints remain,
Nor memory shall be found.
6. Awake, almighty God,
And call Thy wrath to mind;
Give them like forests to the fire,
Or stubble to the wind.
7. Convince their madness, Lord,
And make them seek Thy name;
Or else their stubborn rage confound,
That they may die in shame.
8. Then shall the nations know
That glorious, dreadful word,
Jehovah is Thy name alone,
And Thou the sovereign Lord. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

Signs In The Pestilence
Author: Mark H. Forscutt Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Signs in the pestilence,
Signs in the ocean’s swell,
Signs in the famine’s death-like stealth,
Th’approaching end foretell.
2 Signs in the fears of men,
Signs in their rage for war,
Signs in their general armament,
These, last-day tokens are.
3 Signs in the darkened sun,
Signs in the moon of blood,
Signs in the swiftly falling stars,
Signs all ordained by God.
4 Signs in the weal and woe
Of Israel gathering home,
Signs in the truth revealed and preached,
The latter days have come. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources:

Till the dark evening rise,
For Thy salvation, Lord, I wait
With ever longing eyes.

Forgive the sins of riper days,
And follies of my youth.
5. The Lord is just and kind,
The meek shall learn His ways,
And every humble sinner find
The methods of His grace.

Through my redeemer’s name. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalms of David, 1719

More Marred Than Any Man's
Author: William Russell Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1. More marred than any man’s
The Savior’s visage see;
Was ever sorrow like to His,
Endured on Calvary!
2. Oh, hear that piercing cry!
What can its meaning be?
My God! my God! oh! why hast Thou
In wrath forsaken Me?
3. Oh ’twas because our sins
On Him by God were laid;
He who Himself had never sinned
For sinners, sin was made.
4. Thus sin He put away
By His one sacrifice
Then, Conqueror o’er death and hell,
He mounted to the skies.
5. Therefore let all men know
That God is satisfied;
And sinners all who Jesus trust
Through Him are justified. Used With Tune: ABER

An Awful Day Draws Near
Author: Mrs. V. G. Ramsey Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 An awful day draws near;
A storm of wrath must fall:
O, how shall those I love appear
Before the Judge of all!
2 The path of death they choose;
And boldly walk therein;
My soul with deepest sorrow views
Their danger and their sin.
3 Careless they press the brink
Of infinite despair;
Can I endure to see them sink
In hopeless ruin there?
4 I pour unceasing tears;
By day and night I cry;
Almighty Father, hear my prayers,
Nor let these sinners die. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: The Psalmody (Dover, NH: Freewill Baptist Printing Establishment, 1853)
An Awful Day Draws Near
Let Wanton Men Beware
Author: John Berridge Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let wanton men beware,
How Jesus they despise;
In awful pomp He will appear,
Descending from the skies!
2 His trumpet will proclaim
The Judge, the Judge is near!
And earth will melt with fervent flame
And seas dry up with fear!
3 A shouting heavenly host
Around Him will be ranged;
The dead will hear and start up first
And then the quick be changed.
4 Ye wise and favored few,
Who lodge at mercy’s gate,
Oh, keep the Savior well in view,
And for His coming wait.
5 And hear, ye foolish men,
Who talk with impious breath,
And glory in a life unclean:
Such mirth will end in death.
6 Your bitter sad remorse
No tongue can truly tell,
If Jesus once pronounce His curse,
And sink you down to hell.
7 Oh, thoughtless men, be wise,
Before it be too late,
From sleep awake, from sin arise,
And knock at mercy’s gate. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Sion's Songs (London: Vallance & Conder, 1785)
Let Wanton Men Beware
O What A Sound Was There!
Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O what a sound was there!
’Tis nature’s final groan:
And Jesus bids the world appear,
Before His awful throne.
2 The day at length is come,
As threatened, like a snare:
A source of endless joy to some;
To others, of despair.
3 The Savior is at hand,
Behold, He comes with clouds;
And angels, at their Lord’s command,
Appear in joyful crowds.
4 But who may stand this day,
Destroying far and wide?
When Heav’n and earth shall flee away,
Who can the storm abide?
5 The saints alone shall stand,
The people of His love;
He sets them at His own right hand,
And gives them joy above.
6 Into His presence brought,
They see Him face to face;
No other place His people sought,
And now He grants this grace. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Hymns Not Before Published (Dublin: Thomas Johnston, 1815)

In Hunger, Watch, And Prayer
Author: Francis Pott Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In hunger, watch, and prayer,
These forty days were passed
By Thee, O Jesu; and Thy love
Doth sanctify our fast.
2 Through fleshly lusts indulged,
Man lost his first estate;
Thou wouldst restore by leading us
Our flesh to subjugate.
3 Be with Thy Church, O Lord;
Our self-denials bless;
Accept the tears Thy children shed
O’er all their frowardness.
4 Forgive, most gracious Lord,
The follies we deplore,
Prevent us with Thy guiding hand
That we may sin no more.
5 So do Thou in our souls
The power of sin destroy;
And make us fit to worship Thee
With Easter’s holy joy. Used With Tune: ABER Text Sources: Unknown author, pre-12th century; Tr.: Church Hymns (London, Society for Promoting Knowledge)
