Psalm 97 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.209 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Judgment day; God the judge; God his vengeance and compassion; Glory and grace promised; Grace and glory; Angels all subject to Christ; Jehovah reigns; Christ first and second coming, or his incarnation, kingdom, and judgment; Christ his majesty; God his majesty First Line: He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns Lyrics: He reigns! the Lord, the Savior reigns; Praise him in evangelic strains Let the whole earth in songs rejoice, And distant islands join their voice. Deep are his counsels, and unknown, But grace and truth support his throne; Though gloomy clouds his ways surround, Justice is their eternal ground. In robes of judgment, lo! he comes, Shakes the wide earth and cleaves the tombs; Before him burns devouring fire; The mountains melt, the seas retire. His enemies, with sore dismay, Fly from the sight, and shun the day; Then lift your heads, ye saints, on high, And sing, for your redemption's nigh. Scripture: Psalm 97:1-5 Languages: English

I see thy cross -- there teach my heart to cling: oh, let me seek thee, and oh, let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that thou art always nigh: teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh: teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love thee as thine angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame -- the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and thy love the flame.

Lo! he comes, with clouds descending

Author: Oliver Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #922 (1873) Topics: Christ Coming to Judgment Lyrics: 1 Lo! he comes, with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain; Thousand thousand saints, attending, Swell the triumph of his train: Hallelujah! Jesus shall for ever reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold him Robed in dreadful majesty: Those who set at naught and sold him, Pierced, and nailed him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 When the solemn trump has sounded, Heaven and earth shall flee away; All who hate him must, confounded, Hear the summons of that day-- Come to judgment! Come to judgment--come away! 4 Now the Saviour, long expected, See, in solemn pomp, appear; All his saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet him in the air: Hallelujah! See the day of God appear. Scripture: Psalm 96:13
