Behold, There Comes An Hour Unknown
Author: Horace L. Hastings Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13116 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Behold, there comes an hour unknown,
When high upon His burning throne,
The Lord, who died for sinful men,
To judge the world shall come again.
2 Obedient to His high command,
From every nation, tribe and land,
The gathered sons of Adam meet
Around that awful judgment seat.
3 Behold the Judge! that brow of flame
Once wore the thorns and bore the shame;
His blood a Roman cross once dyed—
That Judge for me was crucified.
4 The voice of blasphemy is dumb,
The sinner’s day of fear has come!
The traitor’s kiss, the scorner’s sneer
Are known no more: the Judge is here.
5 Ah, see the myriad throngs divide!
To right and left they turn aside—
What wailing bursts from every heart
Which hears the awful word, "Depart!"
6 But lo! a fair immortal throng
Breaks forth in strains of endless song,
To hear the words, "Ye blessed come!
Receive your kingdom and your home."
7 Oh, sinner, you that Judge must meet,
And face that awful judgment seat;
Repent, and give Him now your heart
Ere you shall hear His word, "Depart." Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU
Behold, There Comes An Hour Unknown
It Is The Lord! Behold His Hand
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13285 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 It is the Lord! Behold His hand
Outstretched with an afflictive rod;
And hark! a voice goes through the land,
"Be still, and know that I am God."
2 Shall we, like guilty Adam, hide
In darkest shades our darker fears?
For who His coming may abide?
Or who shall stand when He appears?
3 No—let us throng around His seat;
No—let us meet Him face to face,
Prostrate our spirits at His feet,
Confess our sins, and sue for grace.
4 Who knows but God will hear our cries,
Turn swift destruction from our path,
Restrain His judgments, or chastise
In tender mercy, not in wrath?
5 He will, He will, for Jesus pleads;
Let Heav’n and earth His love record;
For us, for us, He intercedes;
Our help is nigh—it is the Lord!
6 Into His hands then let us fall,
Come health or sickness, life or death;
Whether He send us balm for gall,
Or immortality for breath. Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU
It Is The Lord! Behold His Hand
Murder Of The Innocents
Author: Thomas B. Murray Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14143 Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: The songs of praise were scarcely done Lyrics: 1 The songs of praise were scarcely done,
Which magnified the Father’s love
In sending forth His only Son,
A perfect offering from above;
2 When He, the Lamb, unblemished, bright,
Snatched from the tyrant’s hands in time,
Amidst the silence of the night,
Sought refuge in a foreign clime.
3 For murder’s threatening shadow fell
On Bethl’hem, and the coasts around;
And scenes too sad for tongue to tell,
Were acted on that holy ground.
4 A voice was heard of those that mourn,
A piteous plaint, a clamor wild;
The infant from its mother torn,
The mother wailing for her child.
5 ’Twas heard in Ramah long before,
When Rachel, bending o’er the dead,
Bemoaned her children now no more,
Refusing to be comforted.
6 O dark and lamentable day,
That saw fulfilled the prophet’s word,
The lamb-like victims dragged away,
And slaughtered by the tyrant’s sword.
7 Yet they were blest; that shining band
First in the martyrs’ army stood;
Fair spring flowers, nipped by Herod’s hand,
Torn from the stem, baptized in blood.
8 Then, mothers, cease your mourning tones;
Resign in faith what God hath giv’n;
And count your parted little ones
His jewels treasured up in Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU
Murder Of The Innocents
When Satan Saw His Rebel Host
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #15981 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When Satan saw his rebel host,
His cause, and Heav’n for ever lost,
Malice and wrath his mind possessed,
And fury burned within his breast.
2 He knew how vain th’ attempts to rise,
With impious rage against the skies;
But bent on ill, another way
He turns his arms, and wins the day.
3 ‘Twas in a dark unguarded hour,
That our first parents felt his power;
Soft innocence and virtue fell
An easy prey to death and hell.
4 Ye sons of God, the tempter fly,
Nor the unequal contest try;
By promised bliss the fiend decoys—
First he allures, and then destroys. Languages: English Tune Title: BRESLAU

O Christ, our true and only Light
Author: J. Heermann Hymnal: Hymns of the Evangelical Lutheran Church #21 (1886) Lyrics: 1 O Christ, our true and only Light,
enlighten those who sit in night;
let those afar now hear Thy voice,
and in Thy fold with us rejoice.
2 Fill with the radiance of Thy grace
The souls now lost in error's maze,
And all whom in their secret minds
Some dark delusion hurts and blinds.
3 And all who else have strayed from Thee,
O gently seek! Thy healing be
To every wounded conscience given,
And let them also share Thy heaven.
4 O make the deaf to hear Thy Word,
And teach the dumb to speak, dear Lord,
Who dare not yet the faith avow,
Though secretly they hold it now.
5 Shine on the darkened and the cold,
Recall the wanderers from Thy fold,
Unite all those who walk apart,
Confirm the weak and doubting heart.
6 So they with us may evermore
Such grace with wondering thanks adore,
And endless praise to Thee be given
By all Thy Church in earth and heaven. Topics: The Means Of Grace Languages: English Tune Title: [O Christ, our true and only Light]

Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #34 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
My beauty are, my glorious dress;
'Midst flaming worlds, in these arrayed,
With joy shall I lift up my head.
2 When from the dust of death I rise,
To take my mansion in the skies,
This even then shall be my plea:
"Jesus hath lived and died for me."
3 Bold shall I stand in that great day,
For who aught to my charge shall lay?
Fully through Thee absolved I am
From sin and fear, from guilt and shame.
4 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice,
Thy banished children shall rejoice;
Their beauty this, their glorious dress,--
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness. Topics: The Judgment; Justification Languages: English Tune Title: LORD JESUS CHRIST, MY LIFE, MY LIGHT
Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness
Look from Thy sphere of endless day
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #35 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Look from Thy sphere of endless day,
O God of mercy and of might!
In pity look on those who stray
Benighted in this land of light.
2 In peopled vale, in lonely glen,
In crowded mart, by stream or sea,
How many of the sons of men
Hear not the message sent from Thee!
3 Send forth Thy heralds, Lord, to call
The thoughtless young, the hardened old,
A scattered, homeless flock, till all
Be gathered to Thy peaceful fold.
4 Send them Thy mighty Word to speak,
Till faith shall dawn, and doubt depart,
To awe the bold, and stay the weak,
And bind and heal the broken heart.

Look from Thy sphere of endless day
Faith is a living power from heaven
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #36 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living power from heaven,
That grasps the promise God hath given,
A confidence in Christ alone,
Whose grace can not be overthrown.
2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace,
And bids the mourner’s weeping cease;
By faith the children’s place we claim,
And give all honor to One Name.
3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath
In love and hope that conquer death;
Faith worketh joyfulness in God,
And trust that blesses e’en the rod.
4 We thank Thee then, O God of heaven,
That Thou to us this faith hast given;
Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace
Till we shall see Thee face to face.
