Day of wrath that ends the ages!

Author: Dr. A. H. Reynar, 1840-; Thomas of Celano, d. 1255 Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: The Christian Life Time, Death, Eternity; Day Of Wrath; Judgment Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath that ends the ages! All-consuming fire rages! As foretold by saints and sages. 2 Day to men of fear and trembling, When before the Judge assembling, And each sinful deed rememb'ring. 3 Silent tombs are trumpet-shaken Sleeping dead, surprised, awaken All before the throne are taken. 4 With the last assize beginning, Open stands all secret sinning No offence exemption winning. 5 How excuse my ill behaviour? Who for me can now win favour, When e'en just men need a Saviour? 6 Terrors manifold surround Thee, Yet have sinners gracious found Thee, Throw Thine arm of mercy round me. 7 Jesus, shed Thy mercy on me, Thou didst take my flesh upon Thee; Bid me not at last go from Thee. 8 Toilsomely my soul Thou soughtest, On the cross my life Thou boughtest, Lose not that for which Thou foughtest. 9 Mary's sins by Thee remitted, And the thief to bliss admitted, Plead my hope may be permitted. 10 Let that day of lamentation Usher in Thy new creation, Manifest Thy great salvation!

"Not for the want of bullocks slain Will I the world reprove; Altars, and rites, and forms are vain, Without the fire of love. "And what have hypocrites to do To bring their sacrifice? They call my statutes just and true, But deal in theft and lies. "Could you expect to 'scape my sight, And sin without control? But I shall bring your crimes to light, With anguish in your soul." Consider, ye that slight the Lord, Before his wrath appear, If once you fall beneath his sword, There's no deliv'rer there. Scripture: Psalm 50:1

The days and years of time are fled

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 2 hymnals Topics: Day of grace after Judgment Lyrics: The days and years of time are fled, Sun, moon, and stars have shone their last; The earth and sea gave up their dead, Then vanished at the archangel's blast; All secret things have been reveal'd, Judgment is pass'd, the sentence seal'd, And man to all eternity What he is now henceforth must be. From Adam to his youngest heir, Not one escaped the muster-roll, Each, as if he alone were there, Stood up, and won or lost his soul; These from the Judge's presence go Down into everlasting woe; Vengeance hath barr'd the gates of hell, The scenes within no tongue can tell. But lo! far off the righteous pass To glory from the King's right hand; In silence, on the sea of glass, Heaven's numbers without number stand, While He who bore the cross lays down His priestly robe and victor crown; The mediatorial reign complete, All things are put beneath His feet. Then every eye in Him shall see, (While thrones and powers before Him fall,) The fulness of the Deity, Where God Himself is all in all: 237 O how eternity will ring With the first note the ransom'd sing! While in that strain all voices blend, Which once begun shall never end. In that unutterable song, Shall I employ immortal breath? Or, with the wicked borne along, For ever die "the second death?" Jesus! my life, my light Thou art; Thy word is in my month, my heart; Lord, I believe,--my spirit save From sinking lower than the grave.
