5 While sinners, in despair, shall call, Rocks, hide us; mountains, on us fall! The saints ascending from the tomb, Shall joyful sing-The Lord is come! 112. THE LAST DAY. 8. 7. 8.7. 8.8.7. 1 Great God! what do I see and hear? The trumpet sounds, the graves restore 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; Trembling they stand before the throne, All unprepared to meet him! 4 Great God, what do I see and hear? 113. REDEMPTION Drawing Near. Alma-Emperor's Hymn Lewes. 8. 7. 8. 7. 4.7. 1 Lo! he comes with clouds descending, Once for favoured sinners slain! Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of his train: Hallelujah! Jesus shall for ever reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold him Those who set at nought and sold him, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Now redemption, long expected, All his saints, by man rejected, Hallelujah! See the day of God appear! 4 Yea! Amen! let all adore thee, Hallelujah! come, Lord, come. 114. "DIES IRE." L.M. Soldau-Advent-Calvin-Submission-Ely. 1 The day of wrath! that dreadful day, When heaven and earth shall pass away! What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? 2 When shrivelling like a parched scroll, The flaming heavens together roll; When louder yet, and yet more dread, Swells the high trump that wakes the dead; 3 Oh on that day, that wrathful day, When man to judgment wakes from clay; Be thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay, Though heaven and earth shall pass away. 115. THE JUDGMENT. St. Werbergh's-Linden-Lewes. 8.7.8.7. 1 Day of judgment, day of wonders! Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, 4.7. Louder than a thousand thunders, Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge, our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for his appearing, Then shall say, "This God is mine!" Own me in that day for thine. 3 Under sorrows and reproaches, When the world is in a blaze. 116. THE RESTITUTION OF ALL THINGS. C. M. St. Nicholas Belgrave-Bremen-University. 1 Lo! what a glorious sight appears The former seas have passed away, 2 From heav'n the New Jerus'lem comes, All worthy of its Lord: See all things now at last renewed, 3 Attending angels shout for joy, And the bright armies sing; Mortals behold the sacred seat Of your descending King! 4 The God of glory down to men He dwells with men; his people they, 5 His gracious hand shall wipe the tears And pains and groans, and griefs and fears, 6 Behold, I change all human things! 7 O may we stand before the Lamb, And hear the Judge pronounce our name, 117. CHARACTER AND TITLES OF CHRIST. C. M. Newington-Dunfermline-Burton-Loughton. 1 We bless the Prophet of the Lord, Who comes with truth and grace: |
