From my Youth up, may Israel say
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #CXXIX (1767) Topics: Prophecies Predictions of God's Judgment upon the Ungodly and Wicked Lyrics: 1 From my Youth up, may Israel say,
They oftentimes have me assail'd;
Reduc'd me oft to heavy Straits,
But never yet have quite previl'd:
They plow'd my Back with Furrows long;
But GOD has recu'd us from Wrong.
2 Defeat, Confusion, shameful Rout
Ne still the dreadful Doom of those,
Their righteous Doom, who Sion hate,
And Sion's holy GOD oppose:
Like corn that's wither'd, let them fade,
Which too much Heat, and want of Root,
Untimely blasted in the Blade.
3 Which in his Arms no Reaper takes,
But in the Field neglected leaves;
Nor Binder thinks it worth his Pains
To fold and gather into Sheaves:
Nor Traveller vouchsafes to stop,
And crave a Blessing on the Crop.
Scripture: Psalm 129 Languages: English Tune Title: [From my Youth up, may Israel say]
From my Youth up, may Israel say
The day is surely drawing near
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a457 (1895) Topics: The Consummation Judgment Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near,
When God's Son, the Anointed,
Will with great majesty appear,
As Judge of all appointed.
All mirth and laughter then shall cease,
When flames on flames will still increase,
As the Apostle teacheth.
2 A trumpet loud shall then resound
And all the earth be shaken;
Then all who in their graves are found
Shall from their sleep awaken;
But all that live shall in that hour,
By the Almighty's boundless power,
Be changed at His commanding.
3 A book is opened then to all--
A record truly telling
What each hath done, both great and small,
When he on earth was dwelling.
And ev'ry heart be clearly seen,
And all be known as they have been,
In thoughts and words and actions.
4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord,
And sought but carnal pleasures,
Who here despised His precious Word
And loved their earthly treasures!
With shame and trembling they will stand
And at the Judge's stern command
Must leave the Lord forever.
5 O may my name, dear Lord, be found,
Free from all condemnation,
For Thy death's sake, Thy pains and wounds,
In Thy book of salvation.
I will not doubt:--I trust in Thee;--
From Satan Thou have made me free,
And from all condemnation.
6 Therefore my Intercessor be,
And for Thy death and merit
Declare my name from judgment free,
With all who life inherit;
That with my brethren I may stand
With Thee in heaven, our fatherland,
Which Thou for us hast purchased.
7 Lord Jesus Christ, do not delay,
O hasten our salvation!
We often tremble on our way
In fear and tribulation.
Then hear us when we cry to Thee;
Come mighty Judge, come, make us free
From ev'ry evil. Amen!

The day is surely drawing near
And will the Judge descend?
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a458 (1895) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Consummation Judgment Lyrics: 1 And will the Judge descend?
And must the dead arise?
And not a single soul escape
His all-discerning eyes!
2 And from His righteous lips
Shall this dread sentence sound;
And, through the num'rous guilty throng,
Spread black despair around?
3 "Depart from me, accursed,
"To everlasting flame,
For rebel-angels first prepared,
Where mercy never came."
4 How will my heart endure
The terrors of that day,
When earth and heav'n, before His face,
Astonished, shrink away?
5 But ere that trumpet shakes
The mansions of the dead,
Hark, from the Gospel's cheering sound,
What joyful tidings spread!
6 Ye sinners, seek His grace
Whose wrath ye cannot bear;
Fly to the shelter of His cross,
And find salvation there.

And will the Judge descend?
That day of wrath, that dreadful day
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a459 (1895) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Consummation Judgment Lyrics: 1 That day of wrath, that dreadful day,
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
What power shall be the sinner's stay?
How shall he meet that dreadful day?
2 When, shriv'ling like a parched scroll,
The flaming heav'ns together roll,
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swells the high trump that wakes the dead?
3 O on that day, that wrathful day,
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away.

That day of wrath, that dreadful day
Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!
Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnal. 9th ed. #a460 (1895) Topics: The Consummation Judgment Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!
See fulfilled the prophets' warning,
Heaven and earth in ashes burning!
2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth,
When from heaven the Judge descendeth,
On whose sentence all dependeth!
3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth;
Through earth's sepulchers it ringeth,
All before the throne it bringeth.
4 Death is struck, and nature quaking;
All creation is awaking,
To its Judge an answer making.
5 Lo, the Book, exactly worded,
Wherein all hath been recorded;
Thence shall judgment be awarded.
6 When the Judge His seat attaineth,
And each hidden deed arraigneth,
Nothing unavenged remaineth.
7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading?
Who for me be interceding,
When the just are mercy needing?
8 King of Majesty tremendous,
Who dost free salvation send us,
Fount of pity, then befriend us!
9 Think, kind Jesus, my salvation
Caused Thy wondrous incarnation;
Fount of pity, then befriend us!
10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me,
On the Cross of suffering brought me;
Shall such grace in vain be brought me?
11 Righteous Judge of retribution,
Grant Thy gift of absolution,
Ere that day's dread execution.
12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning,
All my shame with anguish owning!
Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning!
13 Thou the woman gav'st remission,
Heardst the dying thief's petition:
Hopeless else were my condition.
14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing,
Yet, good Lord in grace complying,
Rescue me from fires undying!
15 With Thy favored sheep, O place me!
Nor amid the goats abase me:
But to Thy right hand upraise me.
16 While the wicked are confounded,
Doomed to flames of woe unbounded,
Call me, with Thy saints surrounded.
17 Bows my heart in meek submission,
Strewn with ashes of contrition;
Succor Thou my lost condition!
18 Day of sorrow, Day of weeping,
When in dust no longer sleeping,
Man awakes in Thy dread keeping!
19 To the rest Thou didst prepare me,
On Thy Cross, O Christ, upbear me!
Spare, O God, in mercy spare me! Languages: English
Day of wrath, that Day of mourning!

That Man Is Blest
The Blessedness of the Godly
Hymnal: The Psalter #1 (1912) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Judgment Day First Line: That man is blest who, fearing God Lyrics: 1 That man is blest who, fearing God,
From sin restrains his feet,
Who will not stand with wicked men,
Who shuns the scorners' seat.
2 Yea, blest is he who makes God's law
His portion and delight,
And meditates upon that law
With gladness day and night.
3 That man is nourished like a tree
Set by the rivers' side;
Its leaf is green, its fruit is sure,
And thus his works abide.
4 The wicked like the driven chaff
Are swept from off the land;
They shall not gather with the just,
Nor in the judgment stand.
5 The Lord will guard the righteous well,
Their way to Him is known;
The way of sinners, far from God,
Shall surely be o'erthrown. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English Tune Title: MEDITATION
The Blessedness of the Godly
Let all the earth their voices raise
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: The Psalms and Hymns of Dr. Watts #1 (1835) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Christ first and second coming, or his incarnation, kingdom, and judgment Lyrics:
Let all the earth their voices raise
To sing the choicest psalm of praise,
To sing and bless Jehovah's name:
His glory let the heathens know,
His wonders to the nations show,
And all his saving works proclaim.
The heathens know thy glory, Lord,
The wond'ring nations read thy word,
In Britain is Jehovah known:
Our worship shall no more be paid
To gods which mortal hands have made;
Our Maker is our God alone.
He framed the globe, he built the sky,
He made the shining worlds on high,
And reigns complete in glory there:
His beams are majesty and light;
His beauties, how divinely bright!
His temple, how divinely fair!
Come the great day, the glorious hour,
When earth shall feel his saving power,
And barb'rous nations fear his name;
Then shall the race of man confess
The beauty of his holiness,
And in his courts his grace proclaim.
Scripture: Psalm 96 Languages: English
Let all the earth their voices raise
The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #1 (1740) Topics: Judgment day First Line: Blest is the Man who shuns the Place Lyrics: 1 Blest is the Man who shuns the Place
Where Sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked Ways,
And hates the Scoffer's Seat:
2 But in the Statutes of the Lord
Has plac'd his chief Delight;
By Day he reads or hears the Word,
And meditates by Night.
3 (He like a Plant of gen'rous Kind,
By living Waters set,
Safe from the Storms and blasting Wind,
Enjoys a peaceful State.]
4 Green as the Leaf, and ever fair
Shall his Profession shine;
While Fruit of Holiness appear
Like Clusters on the Vine.
5 Not so the Impious and Unjust;
What vain Designs they form!
Their Hopes are blown away like Dust,
Or Chaff before the Storm.
6 Sinners in Judgment shall not stand
Amongst the Sons of Grace,
When Christ the Judge at his right Hand,
Appoints his Saints a Place.
7 His Eye beholds the Path they tread,
His Heart approves it well;
But crooked Ways of Sinners lead
Down to the Gates of Hell.
