Sinners, take the friendly warning

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Topics: The Day of Judgment Lyrics: 1 Sinners, take the friendly warning; Soon that awful day shall break, And the trumpet, with its dawning, All the slumbering millions wake. 2 See assembled every nation!-- Loftly cities, temples, towers, Wrapt in dreadful conflagration, Earth and sea the flame devours. 3 Ye who to the world dissemble, While you practice deeds of night, Sinners, now behold and tremble; All your crimes are brought to light. 4 Ye who now, conviction stifling, Waste your time, the loss deplore; Hear the angel--cease your trifling-- Time, he cries, shall be no more. 5 Pause and hear the voice of reason, Catch the moments as they fly; You who lose the present season, You must all find time to die. Scripture: Psalm 96:13

Longing for a place at the right hand of the Judge

Appears in 443 hymnals Topics: The Day of Judgment First Line: When thou my righteous judge shall come Lyrics: 1 When thou my righteous judge shall come To fetch thy ransom'd people home, Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at thy right hand? 2 I love to meet among them now, Before thy gracious feet to bow, Tho' vilest of them all; But can I bear the piercing thought? What if my name should be left out, When thou for them shalt call? 3 Prevent, prevent it by thy grace; Be thou, dear Lord, my hiding place, In this th' accepted day: Thy pardoning voice, O let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear; Nor let me fall I pray. 4 Let me among thy saints be found, Whene'er th' archangel's trump shall sound, To see thy smiling face; Then loudest of the crowd I'll sing, While heaven's resounding mansions ring With shouts of sovereign grace.

Sinners and Saints in the Wreck of Nature

Author: President Davies Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 65 hymnals Topics: The Day of Judgment First Line: How great, how terrible that God Lyrics: 1 How great, how terrible that God, Who shakes creation with his nod! He frowns—earth, sea, all nature's frame Sink in one universal flame. 2 Where now, O where shall sinners seek For shelter in the general wreck; Shall falling rocks be o'er them thrown? See rocks, like snow, desolving down. 3 In vain for mercy now they cry; In lakes of liquid fire they lie; There on the flaming billows tost, For ever—O forever lost. 4 But saints, undaunted and serene Your eyes view the dreadful scene; Your savior lives, the worlds expire, And earth and skies desolve in fire. 5 Jesus, the helpless creature's friend, To thee my all I dare commend. Thou canst preserve my feeble soul, When Lightnings blaze from pole to pole.

Come, Lord Jesus

Author: Dr. Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 34 hymnals Topics: The Day of Judgment First Line: When shall thy lovely face be seen? Lyrics: 1 When shall thy lovely face be seen? When shall our eyes behold our God? What lengths of distance lie between, And hills of guilt? a heavy load! 2 Our months are ages of delay, And slowly every moment wears: Fly, wingèd time, and roll away These tedious rounds of sluggish years. 3 Ye heavenly gates, loose all your chains, Let the eternal pillars bow; Blest Savior, cleave the starry plains, And make the crystal mountains flow. 4 Hark, how thy saints unite their cries, And pray and wait the general doom: Come, Thou, the Soul of all of our Joys, Thou, the Desire of Nations, come. 5 Put thy bright robes of triumph on, And bless our eyes, and bless our ears, Thou absent Love, thou dear Unknown, Thou Fairest of ten thousand Fairs.

And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes? 2 And from his righteous lips Shall this dread sentence sound; And thro' the numerous guilty throng, Spread black despair around? 3 "Depart from me, accurs'd, "To everlasting flame, "For rebel angels first prepar'd, "Where mercy never came." 4 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day: When earth and heaven, before his face, Astonish'd 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. 7 So shall that curse remove; By which the savior bled; And the last awful day shall pour his blessings on your head.

The Last Judgment

Author: Dr. S. Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Topics: The Day of Judgment First Line: He comes! he comes! to judge the world Lyrics: 1 He comes! he comes! to judge the world, Aloud th' archangel cries: While thunders roll from pole to pole, And lightnings cleave the skies. 2 Th' affrighted nations hear the sound, And upward lift their eyes: The slumb'ring tenants of the ground In living armies rise. 3 Amid the shouts of numerous friends, Of hosts divinely bright, The judge in solemn pomp descends, Array'd in robes of light. 4 His head and hairs are white as snow, His eyes a fiery flame, A radiant crown adorns his brow, And Jesus is his name. 5 Writ on his thigh his name appears, And scars his victo'ies tell: Lo! in his hand the conqu'ror bears The keys of death and hell. 6 So he ascends the judgment-seat, And at his dread command, Myriads of creatures round his feet In solemn silence stand. 7 Princes and peasants here expect Their, last, their righteous doom; The men who dar'd his grace reject, And they who dar'd presume. 8 "Depart, ye sons of death and sin," The injur'd Jesus cries, While the long-kindling wrath within Flames from both his eyes. 9 And now in words divinely sweet, With rapture in his face, Aloud his sacred lips repeat The sentence of his grace: 10 "Well done, my good and faithful sons. "The children of my love; "Receive the sceptres, crowns and thrones "Prepar'd for you above."
