O wondrous type, O vision fair
Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type, O vision fair
Of glory that the Church shall share,
Which Christ upon the mountain shows,
Where brighter than the sun He glows!
2 From age to age the tale declare,
How with the three disciples there,
Where Moses and Elias meet,
The Lord holds converse high and sweet.
3 The law and prophets there have place,
The chosen witnesses of grace;
The Father's voice from our the cloud
Proclaims His only Son aloud.
4 With shining face and bright array,
Christ deigns to manifest today
What glory shall to faith be given
When we enjoy our God in heaven.
5 And Christian hearts are raised on high
By that great vision's mystery,
For which in thankful strains we raise
On this glad day the voice of praise.
6 O Father, with th'eternal Son,
And Holy Spirit, ever One,
Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace
To see Thy glory face to face. Topics: The Church Year Sixth Sunday after Epiphany; The Church Year Septuagesima; Church of Christ Used With Tune: [O wondrous type, O vision fair] Text Sources: Latin

See The Old Dragon From His Throne
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 See the old dragon from his throne
Sink with enormous ruin down!
Banished from Heav’n, and doomed to dwell
Deep in the fiery gloom of hell!
2 Ye heav’ns with all your hosts, rejoice:
Ye saints, in consort lend your voice;
Approach your Lord’s victorious seat,
And tread the foe beneath your feet.
3 But whence a conquest so divine
Gained by such feeble hands as mine?
Or whence can sinful mortals boast
O’er Satan and his rebel host?
4 ’Twas from Thy blood, Thou slaughtered lamb,
That all our palms and triumphs came;
The cross, thy spear inflicts the stroke,
By which the monster’s head is broke.
5 Thy faithful Word our hope maintains
Through all our combat and our pains;
The accents of Thy heav’nly breath
Thy soldiers bear through wounds and death.
6 Triumphant Lamb, in worlds unknown,
With transport round Thy radiant throne,
Thy happy legions, all complete,
Shall lay their laurels at Thy feet. Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR Text Sources: Published posthumously in Hymns Founded on Various Texts in the Holy Scriptures, by Job Orton (J. Eddowes and J. Cotton, 1755)

The Day, The Solemn Day Shall Come
Author: John Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The day, the solemn day shall come,
The long delayéd day of doom;
The hour when God shall awful rise,
And fears a guilty world surprise.
2 Heaven’s greatest light, the glorious sun,
No more his wonted course shall run;
No more divide the varied year,
Obliged to quit his lofty sphere.
3 The moon, and stars extinguished quite,
No more shall rule the silent night;
Nor silver planets longer run
In dance harmonious round the sun.
4 No sooner shall th’Almighty call
But flames shall seize this earthly ball;
And heaven’s high frame without delay
With hideous crash shall pass away.
5 Their seats the frighted mountains quit,
The shrinking seas their shores forget;
In rapid streams of mingled fire
The shifting elements expire.
6 These awful scenes my soul bring near,
For this tremendous day prepare;
How just, how holy must thou be
If thou with joy this day wouldst see? Used With Tune: SPIRES Text Sources: Hymns Devotional and Moral on Various Subjects (Bristol, England: S. Farley, 1768)

"No God For Me!" The Fool Exclaims
Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 "No God for me!" the fool exclaims,
And half believes the wish he frames.
’Twere well there was no God for them,
Whom God exists but to condemn.
2 Plunged in the desperate depths of sin,
Debased without, corrupt within,
What wonder men should wish to fly
An awful omnipresent eye?
3 Yet Jesus from His throne above
Holds out the scepter of His love,
And offers peace to them, to all
That contrite at His feet will fall.
4 Rise, Sun of righteousness, and fling
A brighter morning from Thy wing;
The mourner cheer, the captive free,
And win Thy wanderers all to Thee. Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS, HERR Text Sources: Spirit of the Psalms, 1834

Ludzie czasu ostatniego
Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Ludzie czasu ostatniego
jęli się wszystkiego złego;
nic o Boga już nie dbają,
kary sime też nie lękają.
2 W grzechy wielkie się udali
i z błędami się związali;
starzy, młodzi w każdym stanie
mają w złym upodobanie.
3 Ach, jak smutne są objawy,
że chrześcijańskie giną sprawy!
Świat pogardza łaską Bożą,
złości się pogańskie mnożą.
4 Słowem Bożym pogardzają,
w lubieżnościach się kochają;
za doczesnym zyskiem gonią,
a od skarbów wiecznych stronią.
5 Chryste, broń stadeczka swego
od skażenia czasu tego;
pomóż szczerze pokutować,
z prawej drogi nie zstępować.
6 W wierze utwierdź nas prawdziwej
i w miłości niewątpliwej,
daj nadzieję też wiecznego
życia w domu Ojca swego.
7 Pozbawieni błędów, z-ɵści,
w niewymownej tam radości
wiecznie chcemy być zbawieni
i z świętymi połączeni.

In Vain The Savior's Mightiest Foes
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: In vain the Savior’s mightiest foes Lyrics: 1 In vain the Savior’s mightiest foes
Conspire His kingdom to oppose,
Crushed like the potter’s brittle store,
And scattered, to unite no more.
2 Sinners! awake: ye fools! be wise;
From sin’s delusive dreams arise;
Behold your Savior, seek His face,
And kiss the scepter of His grace.
3 O, lest ye perish from the way
That leads to realms of endless day;
Lest fierce the threatening storm descend,
And on your heads its fury spend.
4 If, yet but kindly in His breast,
His wrath the guilty soul arrest,
How blest are they who serve the Lord,
Who hear His voice, and trust His Word! Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS HERR Text Sources: Selection of Psalms and Hymns for Public and Private Use, Adapted to the Festivals of the Church of England by Thomas Cotterill, 8th ed. (Sheffield, England: J. Blackwell, 1829)

Lord, by Thy Word deliv'rance work
Author: Dr. Martin Luther; Richard Massie Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, by Thy Word deliv'rance work,
And stay the hand of Pope and Turk,
Who fain from Christ would wrest the crown,
And from His kingdom hurl Him down.
2 Lord Jesus Christ, Thy power make known,
For Thou art Lord of lords alone;
Defend Thy Christendom, that we
May evermore sing praise to Thee.
3 Thou Comforter of priceless worth,
Give us one mind and heart on earth;
Be with us in our last dread strife,
And lead us out of death to life.
4 Destroy their counsels, Lord our God,
And humble them with iron rod;
And let them fall into the snare
Which for Thy Christians they prepare.
5 So that at last they may perceive
That, Lord our God, Thou still dost live,
And dost deliver mightily
All those who put their trust in Thee. Topics: The Church Year Reformation Used With Tune: WITTENBERG (Erhalt uns Herr bei deinem Wort) Text Sources: Tr. Comp. mostly from Massie

In Pity To A Dying World
Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 In pity to a dying world,
Almighty Father, send Thy grace;
And let Thy banner be unfurled,
And faith’s slow triumph speed its pace.
2 What millions of immortal souls
Still live unmindful of Thy sway!
And as death’s fearful torrent rolls,
Hundreds are daily swept away.
3 O Lord, must creatures be undone
Who from Thy hand receive their breath?
Shall they be lost, for whom Thy Son
Came down to suffer shame and death?
4 Let sovereign mercy interpose
To rescue sinners from their doom;
And send Thy word to heal their woes,
And light their passage to the tomb.
5 O spread Thy truth through every clime,
Teach stubborn souls to weep and pray;
Let this be the accepted time,
And this salvation’s glorious day. Used With Tune: SPIRES Text Sources: Psalms and Hymns, 1831
