Hark! an awful voice is sounding

Author: Edward Caswall Meter: 8.7 Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! an awful voice is sounding: "Christ is nigh!" it seems to say; "Cast away the works of darkness, O ye children of the day!" 2 Startled at the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, her Sun, all sloth dispelling, Shines upon the morning skies. 3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heaven, Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all, to be forgiven; 4 So, when next He comes with glory, Wrapping all the earth in fear, With His mercy He may shield us, And with words of love draw near. 5 Honor, glory, virtue, merit, To the Father and the Son, With the everlasting Spirit, While eternal ages run.

In the Cross of Christ I glory

Author: Sir John Bowring Meter: 8.7 Appears in 1,558 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the Cross of Christ I glory, Towering o'er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime. 2 When the woes of life o'ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the Cross forsake me; Lo! it glows with peace and joy. 3 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the Cross the radiance streaming Adds new luster to the day. 4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the Cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide.

Savior, who Thy flock art feeding

Author: W. A. Muhlenberg Appears in 372 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Savior, Who Thy flock art feeding, With the shepherd's kindest care, All the feeble gently leading, While the lambs Thy bosom share; 2 Now, these little ones receiving, Fold them in Thy gracious arm! There, we know, Thy word believing, Only there secure from harm! 3 Never, from Thy pasture roving, Let them be the lion's prey; Let Thy tenderness so loving, Keep them all life's dangerous way. 4 Then, within Thy fold eternal, Let them find a resting-place, Feed in pastures ever vernal, Drink the rivers of Thy grace.
