Death and judgment appointed to all
Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLXV (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Death And judgment First Line: Heaven has confirm'd the great decree Lyrics: 1 Heaven has confirm'd the great decree
That Adam's race must die:
One general ruin sweeps them down,
And low in dust they lie.
2 Ye living men, the tomb survey,
Where you must quickly dwell;
Hark how the awful summon's sounds
In ev'ry funeral knell!
3 Once you must die, and once for all
The solemn purport weigh;
For know, that heaven or hell are attend
On that important day.
4 Those eyes so long in darkness veil'd,
Must wake, the judge to see,
And every word, and every thought
Must pass his scrutiny.
5 O may I in the judge behold
My Savior and my Friend,
And, far beyond the reach of death,
With all his saints ascend.

Death and judgment appointed to all
When We in the Judgment Stand

When We in the Judgment Stand
Nothing into this world we brought
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #218 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Birth, Death, and Judgment; Life and death and judgment Lyrics:
Nothing into this world we brought,
And nothing can we take away;
Oft be the themes of earnest thought,
Man's birth, man's death, man's judgment-day.
218
For each belongs to each of us;
Time past, time present, time to be,
To young and old, determine thus
The issues of eternity,
All are born poor, howe'er unlike,
Their lot through life; and all go down
Poor to the dust:--the darts that strike
The slave, strike him who wears a crown,
That name which each on earth has borne,
Renown'd, inglorious, or obscure,
E'en from his gravestone shall be worn;
Nought under heaven can endure.
In the Lamb's book of life alone,
The everlasting page records,
In open view before the throne,
The names of those who are the Lord's.
When on the volume of that book
While small and great are gathered round,
The Judge of quick and dead shall look,
Be all our names unblotted found.

That Awful Day Will Surely Come
Sinner, art thou still secure?
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #239 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Sinner, art thou still secure?
Wilt thou still refuse to pray?
Can thy heart or hands endure
In the Lord's avenging day?
2 See, his mighty arm is bar'd!
Awful terrors clothe his brow!
For his judgment stand prepar'd,
Thou must either break or bow.
3 At his presence nature shakes,
Earth affrighted hastes to flee;
Solid mountains melt like wax,
What will then become of thee?
4 Who his advent may abide?
You that glory in your shame,
Will you find a place to hide,
When the world is wrapped in flame?
5 Lord, prepare us by thy grace!
Soon we must resign our breath,
And our souls be call'd to pass
Through the iron gate of death.
6 Let us now our day improve,
Listen to the gospel voice:
Seek the things that are above;
Scorn the world's pretended joys.
Sinner, art thou still secure?
And am I only born to die?

When frowning death appears
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #238 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 When frowning death appears,
And points his fatal dart,
What dark foreboding fears
Distract the sinner's heart!
The dreadful blow
No arm can stay,
But torn away
He sinks to wo.
2 Now every hope denied,
Bereft of every good,
He must the wrath abide
Of an avenging God;
No mercy there
Will greet his ear
Nor wipe the tear
Of black despair.
3 Sinners, awake, attend,
And flee the wrath to come;
Make Christ, the Judge, your friend,
And heav'n shall be your home:
His mercy nigh,
Now points the path
That leads from death
To joys on high. Scripture: Romans 3:16

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #236 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 All ye who laugh and sport with death,
And say, there is no hell;
The gasp of your expiring breath
Will send you there to dwell.
2 When iron slumbers bind your flesh,
With strange surprise you'll find
Immortal vigour springs afresh,
And tortures wake the mind!
3 Then you'll confess the frightful names
Of plagues, you scorn'd before,
No more shall look like idle drams,
Like foolish tales no more.
4 Then shall ye curse that fatal day,
With flames upon your tongues,
When you exchang'd your souls away
For vanity and songs.
All ye who laugh and sport with death
Ye sons of Adam, vain and young
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #246 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Ye sons of Adam, vain and young,
Indulge your eyes, indulge your tongue,
Taste the delights your souls desire,
And give a loose to all your fire;
2 Pursue the pleasures you design,
And cheer your hearts with songs and wine,
Enjoy the day of mirth; but know
There is a day of judgment too.
3 God from on high beholds your thoughts,
His book records your secret faults,
The works of darkness you have done
Must all appear before the sun.
4 The vengeance to your follies due
Should strike your hearts with terror through:
How will ye stand before his face,
Or answer for his injur'd grace?
5 Almighty God, turn off their eyes
From these alluring vanities;
And let the thunder of thy word
Awake their souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9

My soul, the minutes haste away
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #233 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 My soul, the minutes haste away,
Apace comes on th'important day,
When in the icy arms of death
I must give up my vital breath.
2 Look forward to the moving scene;
How wilt thou be affected then?
When from on high some sharp disease
Resistless shall my vitals seize.
3 when all the springs of life are low,
The spirits faint, the pulses slow;
The eyes grow dim and short the breath,
Presages of approaching death.
4 When clammy sweats thro' ev'ry part,
Show life's retreating to the heart;
Its last resistance there to make,
And then the breathless frame forsake.
5 When all eternity's in sight;
The brightest day, or blackest night;
One shock will break the building down,
And let thee into worlds unknown.
6 O come, my soul, the matter weigh!
How wilt thou leave thy kindred clay!
And how the unknown regions try,
And launch into eternity!
My soul, the minutes haste away
Few, few and evil are thy days
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #215 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Topics: Life and death and judgment Lyrics:
Few, few and evil are thy days,
Man, of a woman born;
Peril and trouble haunt thy ways;
Forth, like a flower at morn,
The tender infant springs to light,
Youth blossoms to the breeze,
Age, withering age, is cropt ere night;
Man like a shadow flees.
215
And dost thou look on such an one?
Will God to judgment call
A worm, for what a worm hath done
Against the Lord of all?
As fail the waters from the deep,
As summer-brooks run dry,
Man lieth down in dreamless sleep,
His life is vanity.
Man lieth down, no more to wake,
Till yonder arching sphere
Shall, with a roll of thunder, break,
And nature disappear.
O hide me, till Thy wrath be past,
Thou who canst slay or save!
Hide me, where hope may anchor fast,
In my Redeemer's grave.
Scripture: Job 14:1-3 Languages: English
Few, few and evil are thy days
And am I only born to die?
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #232 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die?
And must I suddenly comply
With nature’s stern decree?
What after death for me remains?
Celestial joys, or hellish pains,
To all eternity?
2 How then ought I on earth to live,
While God prolongs the kind reprieve,
And props the house of clay;
My sole concern, my single care,
To watch, and tremble, and prepare
Against the fatal day!
3 No room for mirth or trifling here,
For worldly hope, or worldly fear,
If life so soon is gone;
If now the Judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
Th'inexorable throne!
4 No matter which my thoughts employ;
A moment’s misery, or joy;
But oh! when both shall end,
Where shall I find my destin'd place?
Shall I my everlasting days
With fiends or angels spend?
5 Nothing is worth a thought beneath
But how I may escape the death
That never, never dies!
How make mine own election sure;
And when I fail on earth, secure
A mansion in the skies.
6 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray,
Be thou my guide, be thou my way
To glorious happiness!
Ah! write the pardon on my heart!
And whensoe’er I hence depart,
Let me depart in peace.
And am I only born to die?
Awake, awake, my sluggish soul
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #234 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake, my sluggish soul,
Awake, and view the setting sun;
See how the shades of death advance,
Ere half the task of life is done.
2 Death!--'tis an awful, solemn sound;
Oh, let it wake the slumb'ring ear!
Apace the dreadful conqueror comes,
With all his pale companions near.
3 Thy drowsy eyes will soon be clos'd,--
These friendly warnings heard no more;
Soon will the nighty Judge approach,
E'en now he stands before the door.
4 To-day attend his gracious voice;
This is the summons that he sends:
"Awake,--for on this transient hour
Thy long eternity depends." Scripture: John 9:4
Awake, awake, my sluggish soul
Eternity is just at hand!
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #242 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Eternity is just at hand!--
And shall I waste my ebbing sand;
And careless view departing day,
And throw my inch of time away?
2 But an eternity there is
Of endless wo, or endless bliss;
And swift as time fulfils its round,
We to eternity are bound.
3 What countless millions of mankind
Have left this fleeting world behind!
They're gone! but where?--ah, pause and see,
Gone to a long eternity.
4 Sinner! canst thou for ever dwell
In all the fiery deeps of hell;
And is death nothing, then, to thee;
Death, and a dread eternity?
Eternity is just at hand!
Terrible thought! shall I alone
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #245 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Terrible thought! shall I alone,
Who may be sav'd, shall I
Of all, alas! whom I have known,
Through sin for ever die?
2 While all my old companions dear,
With whom I once did live,
Joyful at God’s right hand appear,
A blessing to receive:
3 Shall I, amidst a ghastly band,
Dragg'd to the judgment-seat,
Far on the left with horror stand,
My fearful doom to meet?
4 While they enjoy their Saviour's love,
Must I in torments dwell?
And howl, (while they sing hymns above,)
And blow the flames of hell!
5 Ah! no; I still may turn and live,
For still his wrath delays;
He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve,
And offers me his grace.
6 I will accept his offers now,
From every sin depart;
Perform my oft-repeated vow,
And render him my heart.
7 I will improve what I receive,
The grace through Jesus given;
Sure, if with God on earth I live,
To live with God in heaven.
Terrible thought! shall I alone
Stoop down, my thoughts, that us'd to rise
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #247 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Stoop down, my thoughts, that us'd to rise,
Converse a while with death;
Think how a gasping mortal lies,
And pants away his breath.
2 His quivering lip hangs feebly down,
His pulses faint and few,
Then, speechless, with a doleful groan
He bids the world adieu.
3 But, O the soul that never dies!
At once it leaves the clay!
Ye thoughts, pursue it where it flies,
And track its wondrous way.
4 Up to the courts where angels dwell,
It mounts triumphing there;
Or devils plunge it down to hell
In infinite despair.
5 And must my body faint and die?
And must this soul remove?
O for some guardian angel nigh,
To bear it safe above!
6 Jesus, to thy dear faithful hand
My naked soul I trust,
And my flesh waits for thy command
To drop into my dust.
Stoop down, my thoughts, that us'd to rise
I saw, beyond the tomb
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #237 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 I saw, beyond the tomb,
The awful Judge appear,
Prepar'd to scan with strict account,
My blessings wasted here.
2 His wrath like flaming fire,
Burn'd to the lowest hell--
And in that hopeless world of wo,
He bade my spirit dwell.
3 Ye sinners, fear the Lord,
While yet 'tis call'd today;
Soon will the awful voice of death
Command your souls away.
4 Soon will the harvest close--
The summer soon be o'er--
And soon, your injur'd, angry God
Will hear your prayers no more. Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20
I saw, beyond the tomb
Stop, poor sinners, stop and think
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #240 (1828) Meter: Irregular Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Stop, poor sinners, stop and think,
Before you farther go;
Will you sport upon the brink
Of everlasting wo!
On the verge of ruin stop--
Now the friendly warning take--
Stay your footsteps--ere ye drop
Into the burning lake.
2 Say, have you an arm like God,
That you his will oppose?
Fear ye not that iron rod
With which he breaks his foes?
Can you stand in that dread day,
Which his justice shall proclaim,
And the earth shall melt away
Like wax before the flame?
3 Ghastly death will quickly come.
And drag you to his bar;
Then to hear your awful doom,
Will fill you with despair!
All your sins will round you crowd;
You shall mark their crimson dye;
Each for vengeance crying loud,
And what can you reply?
4 Tho' your heart were made of steel,
Your forehead lin'd with brass;
God at length will make you feel,
He will not let you pass;
Sinners, then in vain will call,
Those who now despise his grace,
"Rocks and mountains on us fall,
And hide us from his face."
Stop, poor sinners, stop and think
And am I born to die?
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #231 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
2 Soon as from earth I go
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or wo
Must then my portion be!
3 Wak'd by the trumpet's sound,
I from my grave must rise,
And see the Judge with glory crown'd,
And see the flaming skies.
4 How shall I leave my tomb!
With triumph or regret!
A fearful or a joyful doom,
A curse or blessing meet?
5 Will angel bands convey
Their brother to the bar?
Or devils drag my soul away
To meet its sentence there?
6 Who can resolve the doubt
That tears my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damn'd cast out,
Or number'd with the blest?
7 I must from God be driven,
Or with my Saviour dwell;
Must come at his command to heaven,
Or else depart to hell.
8 I thou that wouldst not have
One wretched sinner die,
Who diedst thyself, my soul to save
From endless misery;
9 Show me the way to shun
Thy dreadful wrath severe,
That when thou comest on thy throne,
I may with joy appear.
And am I born to die?
How many generations dead
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #233 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life and death and judgment Lyrics:
How many generations dead
Dwell in the dust on which we tread!
How many yet may spring to birth,
When we are seen no more on earth!
Till, of past, present and to come,
Time shall cast up the destined sum,
And, name by name, through that amount,
Call every unit to account.
Where'er ensepulchred they lie,
Each then must answer, "Here am I!"
And once, but once, all Adam's race
Meet for a moment face to face.
231
Then shall the King on either side,
As sheep from goats, the throng divide,
And those to bliss, and these to woe,
Rejoicing or lamenting go.
How small to that assembly this!
Yet heirs like them of woe or bliss:
Were the last trumpet now to sound,
On whether hand should we be found?
"Guilty" we plead, O Judge of all!
Guilty into Thine hands we fall;
The friend of sinners still art Thou;
Save or we perish, save us now!
Languages: English
How many generations dead
Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #235 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye;
Behold God's balance lifted high!
There shall his justice be display'd,
And there thy hope and life be weigh'd.
2 See in one scale his perfect law;
Mark with what force its precepts draw;
Wouldst thou the awful test sustain?--
Thy works how light! thy thoughts how vain!
3 Behold the hand of God appears
To trace in dreadful characters;
"Sinner--thy soul is wanting found,
And wrath shall smite thee to the ground."
4 Let sudden fear thy nerves unbrace;
And horror change thy guilty face,
Thro' all thy thoughts let anguish roll,
Till deep repentance melt thy soul.
5 One only hope may yet prevail;--
Christ hath a weight to turn the scale;
Still doth the gospel publish peace,
And show a Saviour's righteousness.
6 Great God, exert thy power to save;
Deep on the heart, these truths engrave;
The pond'rous load of guilt remove,
That trembling lips may sing thy love. Scripture: Daniel 5:27
Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye
There is a voice of sovereign grace
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #241 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 There is a voice of sovereign grace
Sounds from the sacred word;
"Ho! ye despairing sinners, come,
And trust upon the Lord."
2 My soul obeys th'Almighty call,
And runs to this relief;
I would believe thy promise, Lord,
Oh! help my unbelief.
3 To the dear fountain of thy blood,
Incarnate God, I fly;
Here let me wash my spotted soul
From crimes of deepest die.
4 Stretch out thine arm, victorious King,
My reigning sins subdue;
Drive the old dragon from his seat,
With his apostate crew.
5 A guilty, weak, and helpless worm,
On thy kind arms I fall;
Be thou my strength and righteousness,
My Jesus, and my all!
There is a voice of sovereign grace
Sinners! the voice of God regard
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #243 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Sinners! the Voice of God regard:
'Tis mercy speaks to-day;
He calls you by his gracious word
From sin's destructive way.
2 Like the rough sea that cannot rest,
You live devoid of peace;
A thousand Stings within your breast
Deprive your souls of ease.
3 Your way is dark, and leads to hell:
Why will you persevere?
Can you in frightful torments dwell,
Shut up in black despair?
4 Bow to the sceptre of his word,
Renouncing ev'ry sin;
Submit to him your sov'reign Lord,
And learn his will divine.
Sinners! the voice of God regard
Why will ye lavish out your years
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #244 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Why will ye lavish out your years
Amidst a thousand trifling cares?
While, in the various range of thought,
The one thing needful is forgot.
2 Why will ye chase the fleeting wind,
And famish an immortal mind;
While angels with regret look down,
To see you spurn a heav'nly crown?
3 Th'eternal God calls from above,
And Jesus pleads his dying love;
Awaken'd conscience gives you pain:
And shall they join their please in vain?
4 Not so your dying eyes shall view
Those objects, which ye now pursue.
Not so shall heav'n and hell appear,
When the decisive hour is near.
5 Almighty God! thine aid impart,
To fix conviction on the heart.
Thy pow'r can clear the darkest eyes,
And make the haughtiest scorner wise.
Why will ye lavish out your years
