Holy Father, great Creator

Author: Alexander V. Griswold Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 62 hymnals Lyrics: Holy Father, great Creator, Source of mercy, love, and peace, Look upon the Mediator, Clothe us with his righteousness; Heavenly Father, Through the Savior hear and bless. Holy Jesus, Lord of glory, Whom angelic hosts proclaim, While we hear thy wondrous story, Meet and worship in thy Name, Dear Redeemer, In our hearts thy peace proclaim. Holy Spirit, Sanctifier, Come with unction from above, Raise our hearts to raptures higher, Should threaten to undo us; We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us: The prince of darkness grim, We tremble not for him; His rage we can endure, For lo! his doom is sure, One little word shall fell him. That word above all earthly powers, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through him who with us sideth: Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also; The body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, His kingdom is for ever.

Come, Thou Conqueror of the Nations

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Come, Thou conqueror of the nations, Now on Thy white horse appear; Earthquakes, famines, desolations Signify Thy kingdom near: True and faithful! Stablish Thy dominion here. 2. Thine the kingdom, power, and glory; Thine the ransomed nations are. Let the heathen fall before Thee, Let the isles Thy power declare. Judge and conquer All mankind in righteous war. 3. Thee let all mankind admire, Object of our joy and dread! Flame Thine eyes with heavenly fire, Many crowns upon Thy head. But Thine essence None, except Thyself, can read. 4. Yet we know our mediator, By the Father’s grace bestowed; Meanly clothed in human nature, Thee we call the Word of God. Flesh Thy garment, Dipped in Thy own sacred blood. 5. Captain, God of our salvation, Thou who hast the wine press trod, Borne the Almighty’s indignation, Quenched the fiercest wrath of God, Take the kingdom, Claim the purchase of Thy blood. 6. On Thy thigh and clothing written, Show the world Thy heavenly name, That, with loving wonder smitten, All may glorify the Lamb. All adore Thee, All the Lord of hosts proclaim. 7. Honor, glory, and salvation To the Lord our God we give. Power, and endless adoration, Thou art worthy to receive. Reign triumphant, King of kings, forever live!

Awful crisis, When each ray of hope is gone! 4 Oh, the dreadful consternation, When they hear the sentence giv’n, Never more to be repealèd, Parting them from bliss and Heav’n; And to Tophet In confusion they are driv’n. 5 Oh may I at that dread moment, In the Judge behold a friend; Hear His voice in loudest accents, Bid me to His throne ascend; Join the chorus That shall never, never end.

It is He who bought our freedom, Bearing sin’s accursèd load; Mighty Savior! Who alone the wine press trod. 2 Nothing to Thy footstool bringing, But unworthiness and guilt, Solely to Thy merits clinging, All my hopes on Thee are built; Blessèd Jesus! Thou canst save me if Thou wilt! 3 Who is this that comes from Edom? But ’tis not as once He came; Trembling thousands now must meet Him On His car of cloud and flame; Guilty sinners! Who on earth despised His name. 4 Ne’er may I be of the number Who shall thus His throne surround, Startled from a guilty slumber By the final trumpet sound; Seeking shelter, Where no shelter can be found! 5 Oh, Thou Mighty One of Edom, Who the wine press trodd’st alone, Let me triumph in Thy freedom Which Thy bleeding love has won; Then I’ll meet Thee, Fearless, on Thy judgment throne!

The Last Judgment

Author: Thomas Olivers Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Come, immortal King of Glory! Lyrics: 1 Come, immortal King of Glory! Now with all Thy saints appear; While astonished worlds adore Thee, And the dead Thy clarions hear. Shine refulgent, And Thy deity maintain. 2 Hail! the world’s adored creator! In Thy radiant vesture seen. Hail! the Lord of life and nature! Hail th’almighty Nazarene! They who pierced Him, Every eye shall see Him come. 3 But how different the sensation! Saints, with joy and rapture filled, Glow with holy exultation, To redemption’s glory sealed; While the wicked Wail His coming’s dread design. 4 Lo! He comes with clouds descending: Hark! the trump of God is blown: And th’archangel’s voice attending, Makes the high procession known. Sons of Adam, Rise, and stand before your God! 5 Crowns and scepters fall before Him, Kings and conquerors own His sway; Haughtiest monarchs now adore Him, While they see His lightnings play. How triumphant Is the world’s Redeemer now! 6 Light primeval, in its luster, Doth in Jesu’s aspect shine; Blazing comets are not fiercer Than His eyes of flame divine; Oh! how dreadful! Doth the Crucified appear! 7 Hear His voice as mighty thunder, Sounding in eternal roar, While its echo rends in sunder Rocks and mountains, sea and shore. Hark! His accents Through th’unfathomed deep resound! 8 See His throne of jasper whiteness, Throne of justice and of grace, See Jehovah’s equal brightness Shining in Emmanuel’s face. Saints exulting, Shout with joy th’accomplished prayer. 9 "Come, Lord Jesus, O come quickly," Oft has prayed the mourning Bride. Lo, He answers, "I come quickly." Who Thy coming may abide? All who loved Him, All who longed to see His day. 10 See the awful expectation! See the heav’ns themselves on fire! Melting in the conflagration, See the elements expire While the trumpet Blows around, "Ye dead, arise!" 11 Lo! the dead arise, and standing At their great creator’s bar: While the Judge of all commanding, Cries, "To meet your God prepare." All whose judgments And His way are equal found. 12 Now the dreadful volumes opening, Scenes of various deeds disclose, While the Judge proclaims the sentence, Righteous sentence on His foes; Wrath to sinners; To His saints, the crown of life! 13 Gather ye His saints together, Now with Him in judgment sit: See the vile as stubble wither, Ashes now beneath your feet! While His vengeance Seals their everlasting doom. 14 Hark! the universal groaning; Hark! the cries of guilt and fear: Hear them each his fate bemoaning, Each the cause bemoaning hear. God no longer Patient, merciful, or kind. 15 "Come, ye mountains, and fall on us, Come, ye rocks, our heads conceal; For the day is come upon us, Day of wrath that burns to hell"; Where the gnawing Worm of conscience never dies. 16 Where no more for them remaining, Hope no more awaits their call; But in iron bonds detaining, Heav’n’s high justice binds up all; While His mercy To remorseless judgment turns. 17 Lo! the God of all contending, Calls the heavens from afar, Bids, O earth, thy sons, attending, Hear Him, for Himself, declare! All His wisdom, All His righteous acts unfold. 18 Stop for ever all complaining; Stop the mouth of murmuring pride. Fools no more their God disdaining, Atheists now no more deride, But with trembling Wait His judgments last award! 19 "Go from Me," He saith, "ye cursèd! Ye, for whom I bled in vain, Who My utmost grace resisted, Go ye to unending pain"; Lord almighty, True and righteous are Thy ways! 20 "Come," He saith, "ye heirs of glory! Come, ye purchase of My blood, Claim the kingdom now before you, Rise, and fill the mount of God, Fixed for ever, Where the Lamb on Sion stands!" 21 See ten thousand burning seraphs From their thrones as lightnings fly! "Take," they cry, "your seats above us, Nearest Him that rules the sky. Patient sufferers, How rewarded are you now!" 22 Ransomed victors, see His ensign, Waving high in purpled air! Jesus with His ancients reigning, Shall to each His conquest share: He who made them More than conquerors through His blood. 23 Now their trials all are ended, Now the dubious warfare’s o’er; Joy no more with sorrow blended; They shall sigh and weep no more; God for ever Wipes the tear from every eye. 24 Through His passion, all victorious, How they drink immortal wine; In Emmanuel’s likeness glorious, As the firmament they shine; Shine for ever With the bright and morning Star. 25 Where His scepter’s sway extending, Jesus high His right right maintains; Heaven, and earth, and hell commanding, God omnipotent He reigns; Prince of princes! King of kings and Lord of lords! 26 Shining in His bright expansion King of saints behold Him be! Joy of each adorning mansion, Sunk for ever at His feet. Lord of glory! And His kingdom without end! 27 Shout aloud, ye ethereal choirs, Triumph in Jehovah’s praise, Kindle all your heavenly fires, All your palms of victory raise: Shout His conquests, Shout, "Salvation to the Lamb." 27 See in sacred pomp ascending, Jesus and His glorious train; Countless myriads, now attending, Hail the empyrean plain. "Hallelujah, First and last, and Lord of all!" 28 In full triumph see them marching, Through the gates of massy light; While the city walls are sparkling, With meridian glory bright. O how lovely Are the dwellings of the Lamb! 29 See His beauty all resplendent: See Him in the Godhead shine; See Him above all transcendent, Full of deity divine. Hail! Eternal! Sovereign Lord of worlds unknown! 30 On His throne of sapphired azure, High above all height He reigns: Reigns the fount of endless pleasure; Self-subsistent He remains. How diffusive Shines the uncreated blaze! 31 Hosts angelic all adore Him, Circling round His orient seat, Elders cast their crowns before Him, Fall and worship at His feet. O how holy, And how reverent is Thy name! 32 Shout aloud the new creation, All ye heav’nly arches ring, Echo to the Lord—Salvation, "Glory to th’eternal King!" Dread Jehovah! "God with God! and Son of man!" 33 "I am Alpha and Omega, I the First and Last am He: He who was, and is to come. Who am, and will for ever be: Jah, Jehovah! Jah, Jehovah is My name!" 34 Hail! Thou Alpha and Omega, First and last of all alone! He that is, and was, and shall be, And beside whom there is none. Take the glory, Great eternal Three in One! Used With Tune: CORONAE

Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lo, the righteous Judge descending, In full glory through the sky, Suns and stars have veiled their splendor, While their King is passing by: Now His signal Tells us that the judgment’s nigh. 2 Bands celestial all around Him, Bow obedient to His word; Hear archangel sound the trumpet, See the dead to life restored; In a moment, They ascend to meet their Lord. 3 Gather all My saints, ye angels, Who were made your special care; Fly to earth’s remotest regions, Bring My ransomed children near; That to glory They may all with Me repair. 4 But the sinner, then confounded, Will with awe the Judge survey, Hear his dreadful doom announcèd, And retire in deep dismay; Self convicted, To the deathless worm a prey.
