Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Death and Judgment First Line: Behold! with awful pomp

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Life and death and judgment Lyrics: How many generations dead Dwell in the dust on which we tread! How many yet may spring to birth, When we are seen no more on earth! Till, of past, present and to come, Time shall cast up the destined sum, And, name by name, through that amount, Call every unit to account. Where'er ensepulchred they lie, Each then must answer, "Here am I!" And once, but once, all Adam's race Meet for a moment face to face. 231 Then shall the King on either side, As sheep from goats, the throng divide, And those to bliss, and these to woe, Rejoicing or lamenting go. How small to that assembly this! Yet heirs like them of woe or bliss: Were the last trumpet now to sound, On whether hand should we be found? "Guilty" we plead, O Judge of all! Guilty into Thine hands we fall; The friend of sinners still art Thou; Save or we perish, save us now!

Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 69 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye; Behold God's balance lifted high! There shall his justice be display'd, And there thy hope and life be weigh'd. 2 See in one scale his perfect law; Mark with what force its precepts draw; Wouldst thou the awful test sustain?-- Thy works how light! thy thoughts how vain! 3 Behold the hand of God appears To trace in dreadful characters; "Sinner--thy soul is wanting found, And wrath shall smite thee to the ground." 4 Let sudden fear thy nerves unbrace; And horror change thy guilty face, Thro' all thy thoughts let anguish roll, Till deep repentance melt thy soul. 5 One only hope may yet prevail;-- Christ hath a weight to turn the scale; Still doth the gospel publish peace, And show a Saviour's righteousness. 6 Great God, exert thy power to save; Deep on the heart, these truths engrave; The pond'rous load of guilt remove, That trembling lips may sing thy love. Scripture: Daniel 5:27

Nothing into this world we brought

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Topics: Birth, Death, and Judgment; Life and death and judgment Lyrics: Nothing into this world we brought, And nothing can we take away; Oft be the themes of earnest thought, Man's birth, man's death, man's judgment-day. 218 For each belongs to each of us; Time past, time present, time to be, To young and old, determine thus The issues of eternity, All are born poor, howe'er unlike, Their lot through life; and all go down Poor to the dust:--the darts that strike The slave, strike him who wears a crown, That name which each on earth has borne, Renown'd, inglorious, or obscure, E'en from his gravestone shall be worn; Nought under heaven can endure. In the Lamb's book of life alone, The everlasting page records, In open view before the throne, The names of those who are the Lord's. When on the volume of that book While small and great are gathered round, The Judge of quick and dead shall look, Be all our names unblotted found.
