When shall my sorrows have an end? Thy joys when shall I see? 2 When shall these eyes thy heav'n-built walls And pearly gates behold, Thy bulwarks with salvation strong And streets of shining gold? 3 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend? Where evermore the angels sing, The Sabbath has no end. 4 Apostles, martyrs, prophets, there Around my Savior stand, And soon my friends in Christ below Will join the glorious band. 5 O Christ, do thou my soul prepare For that bright home of love That I may see thee and adore With all thy saints above.

So let it be. Life from the dead is in that word, My immortality. 2 While time on earth is spent, Absent from him I roam, Yet nightly pitch my moving tent A day's march nearer home. 3 My Father's house on high, Home of my soul, how near At times, to faith's foreseeing eye The golden gates appear! 4 Lord, be at my right hand, Then can I never fail. If you uphold me, I shall stand; With you I shall prevail. 5 So when my dying breath Shall rend the veil in two, By death I shall escape from death To endless life with you. 6 I'll know as I am known; How shall I love that word And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear? The end of things created; The judge of mankind shall appear On clouds of glory seated. The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before: Prepare, my soul, to meet him! 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise At that last trumpet's sounding, Caught up to meet him in the skies, With joy their Lord surrounding. No gloomy fears their souls dismay; His presence sheds eternal day On those prepared to meet him. 3 But sinners filled with guilty fears Behold his wrath prevailing, For they shall rise and find their tears And sighs are unavailing; The day of grace is past and gone; They trembling stand before his throne, All unprepared to meet him. 4 O Christ, you died, and yet you live; To me account your merit, My pardon seal, my sins forgive, And cleanse me by your Spirit. Beneath your cross I view the day When heav'n and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet you. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GEWISSLICH

The World Is Very Evil

Author: Bernard of Cluny (Morlas), 12th cent. ; J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymnary #534 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Topics: End Times Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil, The times are waxing late; Be sober and keep vigil, The Judge is at the gate; The Judge that comes in mercy, The Judge that comes with might, To terminate the evil, To diadem the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heav'nly gladness lead To light that hath no evening, That knows no moon nor sun, The light so new and golden, The light that is but one. 3 Brief life is here our portion; Brief sorrow, short-lived care; The life that knows no ending, The tearless life, is there. O happy retribution: Short toil, eternal rest; For mortals and for sinners A mansion with the blest! 4 And now we light the battle, But then shall wear the crown Of full and everlasting And passionless renown; And now we watch and struggle, And now we live in hope, And Zion in her anguish With Babylon must cope. 5 But He whom now we trust in Shall then be seen and known; And they that know and see Him Shall have Him for their own. And there is David's fountain And life in fullest glow; And there the light is golden, And milk and honey flow. 6 O home of fadeless splendor, Of flow'rs that bear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children Who here as exiles mourn. Midst pow'r that knows no limit, Where knowledge has no bound, The beatific vision Shall glad the saints around. 7 Jerusalem the golden, With milk and honey blessed, Beneath thy contemplation Sink heart and voice oppressed. I know not, O I know not, What joys await us there, What radiancy of glory, What bliss beyond compare. 8 They stand, those halls of Zion, All jubilant with song And bright with many an angel And all the martyr throng. The Prince is ever in them; The daylight is serene; The pastures of the blessed Are decked in glorious sheen. 9 There is the throne of David; And there, from care released, The shout of them that triumph, The song of them that feast; And they who with their Leader Have conquered in the fight Forever and forever Are clad in robes of white. 10 For thee, O dear, dear country, Mine eyes their vigils keep; For very love, beholding Thy happy name, they weep. The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast And medicine in sickness And love and life and rest. 11 O one, O only mansion, O Paradise of joy, Where tears are ever banished And smiles have no alloy! The Lamb is all thy splendor, The Crucified thy praise; His laud and benediction Thy ransomed people raise. 12 With jasper glow thy bulwarks, Thy streets with em'ralds blaze; The sardius and the topaz Unite in thee their rays; Thine ageless walls are bonded With amethyst unpriced; The saints build up thy fabric, The cornerstone is Christ. 13 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean; Thou hast no time, bright day, Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Upon the Rock of Ages they raise thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel And thine the golden dower. 14 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Languages: English Tune Title: EWING

Wake, Awake, for Night Is Flying

Author: Phillipp Nicolai, 1556-1608; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #206 (1993) Meter: 8.9.8.8.9.8.6.6.4.4.4.8 Topics: End Time; End Time Lyrics: 1 "Wake, awake, for night is flying," The watchmen on the heights are crying, "Awake, Jerusalem, arise!" Midnight hears the welcome voices And at the thrilling cry rejoices: "Oh, where are all you virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes -- awake! Your lamps with gladness take! Alleluia! With bridal care Yourselves prepare To meet the Bridegroom who is near." 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, And all her heart with joy is springing; She wakes, she rises from her gloom, For her Lord comes down all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious; Her Star is ris'n, her Light is come. "Now come, O Blessed One, Christ Jesus, God's own Son. Hail! Hosanna! The joyful call We answer all And follow to the wedding hall." 3 Now let all the heav'ns adore you; Let saints and angels sing before you With harp and cymbal's clearest tone. Of one pearl each shining portal, Where, dwelling with the choir immortal, We gather round your radiant throne. No vision ever brought, No ear has ever caught Such great glory; Therefore will we In victory Sing hymns of praise eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

The Day Is Surely Drawing Near

Author: Bartholomäus Ringwaldt, 1532-99; Philip A. Peter, 1832-1919 Hymnal: Christian Worship (1993) #207 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: End Time; End Time Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near When God's Son, the Anointed, Shall with great majesty appear As judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease When flames on flames will still increase, As Scripture truly teaches. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound And all the earth be shaken. Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken And with the living in that hour By the Almighty's boundless pow'r Be changed at his commanding. 3 A book is opened then to all, A record truly telling What each has done, both great and small, When he on earth was dwelling, And ev'ry heart be clearly seen, And all be known as they have been In thoughts and words and actions. 4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised his precious Word And loved their earthly treasures! With shame and trembling they will stand And at the judge's stern command To Satan be delivered. 5 My Savior paid the debt I owe And for my sin was smitten; Within the Book of Life I know My name has now been written. I will not doubt, for I am free, And Satan cannot threaten me; There is no condemnation! 6 O Jesus Christ, do not delay, But hasten our salvation; We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Your saints are waiting patiently; Come soon, Redeemer; make us free From ev'ry evil. Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GEWISSLICH
