The Kingship of Jesus Christ

Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Wicked Warned First Line: Wherefore do the nations rage Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage And the people vainly dream That in triumph they can wage War against the King supreme? Christ His Son a scoff they make, And the rulers, plotting, say: Their dominion let us break Let us cast their yoke away, Their dominion let us break, Let us cast their yoke away. 2 But the Lord will scorn them all, Calm, He sits enthroned on high; Soon His wrath will on them fall, Sore displeased He will reply: Yet according to My will I have set My King to reign, And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain; And on Zion's holy hill My Anointed I maintain. 3 This His word shall be made known, This Jehovah's firm decree: Thou art My beloved Son, Yea I have begotten Thee. All the earth at Thy request I will give Thee for Thy own; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown; Then Thy might shall be confessed And Thy foes be overthrown. 4 Therefore, kings, be wise, give ear, Hearken, judges of the earth; Learn to serve the Lord with fear. Mingle trembling with your mirth. Kiss the Son, lest o'er our way His consuming wrath should break; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take; But supremely blest are they Who in Christ their refuge take. Scripture: Psalm 2 Used With Tune: HERALD ANGELS

"Sorrow vanquished, labor ended, Jordan passed." 5 If I ask Him to receive me, Will He say me nay?

Haste, then, the hours are flying, Spend not the moments in sighing, Cease from your sorrow and crying: The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear, The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear. 3 He is the bountiful Giver, Now unto Him draw near; Peace then shall flow as a river, Thou shalt be saved from thy fear. Hark! 'tis thy Saviour calling, Haste, for the twilight is falling, Flee! for the night is appalling, And thou shalt be saved from thy fear, And thou shalt be saved from thy fear.

Renounce the superstition By all the world preferred; And turn from vain tradition To His redeeming word. 3 Ye who the world have courted, And suffered from its spite; Ye who with sin have sported, And felt its serpent bite; Come, learn, your follies quitting, That this world's gain is loss; To Christ's light yoke submitting, Come, and take up the cross. 4 O come, and make the trial; Christ's service is release; If hard the self-denial, Its fruit is joy and peace. His word your faith defending, Shall nerve you for the strife; Peace all your steps attending; The prize, eternal life! Used With Tune: AURELIA

Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Warning Lyrics: 1 Thus speaks the Lord to wicked men: My statues why do ye declare? Why take My covenant in mouth, Since ye for wisdom do not care? For ye My holy words profane And cast them from you in disdain. 2 Ye have consented with the thief, Ye have partaken with the vile, Your mouths to evil words ye give, Your tongues proclaim deceit and guile, Ye glory in your brother's shame, Your mother's son do ye defame. 3 Thus have ye done; I silence kept, And this has been your secret thought, That I was wholly as yourselves, To take your evil deeds as nought; I will reprove you and array Your deeds before your eyes this day. 4 Consider this, who God forget, Lest I destroy with none to free; Who offers sacrifice of thanks, He glorifies and honors Me; To him who orders well his way Salvation free I will display. Scripture: Psalm 50 Used With Tune: ELLERTON

The Great Judgment Morning

Author: Bertram H. Shadduck Meter: 9.8.9.8 D 9.8.9.8 Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: Warning First Line: I dreamed that the great judgment morning Refrain First Line: And, oh, what a weeping and wailing Lyrics: 1 I dreamed that the great judgment morning Had dawned, and the trumpet had blown; I dreamed that the nations had gathered To judgment before the white throne; From the throne came a bright, shining angel, And he stood on the land and the sea, And he swore with his hand raised to Heaven, That time was no longer to be. Refrain: And, oh, what a weeping and wailing, As the lost were told of their fate; They cried for the rocks and the mountains, They prayed, but their prayer was too late. 2 The rich man was there, but his money Had melted and vanished away; A pauper he stood in the judgment, His debts were too heavy to pay; The great man was there, but his greatness, When death came, was left far behind! The angel that opened the records, Not a trace of his greatness could find. [Refrain] 3 The widow was there with the orphans, God heard and remembered their cries; No sorrow in heaven forever, God wiped all the tears from their eyes; The gambler was there and the drunkard, And the man that had sold them the drink, With the people who gave him the license, Together in hell they did sink. [Refrain] 4 The moral man came to the judgment, But self-righteous rags would not do; The men who had crucified Jesus Had passed off as moral men, too; The soul that had put off salvation, “Not tonight; I’ll get saved by and by, No time now to think of religion!” At last they had found time to die.
