When Christ descending from the skies
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CL (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ descending from the skies,
As Bridegroom shall appear;
With solemn sound of midnight cries,
To call professors near.
2 That sound will strike an awful damp,
And shew the awful case
Of those who only have the lamp,
Without the oil of grace.
3 The foolish virgins shall awake,
And seek for a supply;
But all in vain they undertake,
To borrow or to buy.
4 Then shall they see that those were wise,
Who they despised here;
And now unto their great surpirze:
They see them happy there.
5 The wise will then be truly blest,
There to be glorified;
But sad distress shall seize the rest,
Whose entrance is denied.
6 In vain they shall attempt to plead:
Lord, with thy Saints we bow'd;
Oft in thy presence we have pray'd,
And sung thy praise aloud.
7 The Lord shall answer from his throne!
Depart ye wicked crew:
I never knew, nor cannot own
Such hypocrites as you.
8 O may my worship be sincere,
Sincere with all my heart--
That I may never need to fear,
To hear the word, depart! Topics: 27th Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Matthew 25:1-13 Languages: English
When Christ descending from the skies
When Christ Jerusalem beheld
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CXVI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ Jerusalem beheld,
As he approached near--
His heart her doleful state bewail'd,
His eyes they flow'd with tears.
2 He look'd on her with deep distress,
And strove to be here friend;
But O, her heighth of wickedness,
Determin'd her fatal end.
3 Did'st thou but know in this thy day,
That which would work thy peace;
Before thy help is done away,
And will forever cease.
4 But now these things are hid from thee,
And from thine eyes conceal'd--
The time is near when thou must see:
God's threat'nings all fulfill'd.
5 Justice and judgements must take place,
Thy sins have brought them down;
Long ye abus'd the means of grace,
Which ye held as your own.
6 Thy foes they shall compass thee round,
And fill thy streets with fear!
Thy walls laid level with the ground
And thou brought to despair.
7 Such woes as never were on earth,
In ev'ry part shall rage;
Great famine, wars and cruel death
Shall sweep thee of the stage.
8 The Jews, they shar'd their awful fate
And thus were made to know;
That vice destroy'd their church and state,
And prov'd their overthrow.
9 Long have we heard thy warnings Lord,
But we regard it not--
And just according to thy word:
Their fate must be our lot. Topics: Tenth Sunday after Trinity Scripture: Luke 19:41-48 Languages: English
When Christ Jerusalem beheld
When Christ let his Disciples know
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #LXXXI (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ let his Disciples know,
That he should soon depart:
And leave them to this world below--
It griev'd them to their heart.
2 To them he also testified,
What sorrows they would have:
That they should see him crucified,
And laid into the grave.
3 Sure that was more distressing still,
Such words as these to hear;
And much contrary to their will,
That Christ such things should bear.
4 They hop'd a great and better thing,
When first with him they join'd;
They hop'd that he would be their King,
And govern to their mind.
5 God's counsels were to them unknown,
They knew not his decree;
That Jesus should for sin attone,
By dying on the tree.
6 When we first join with Jesus too,
Our hearts are over joy'd;
When we have him no more in view,
Then is our peace destroy'd.
7 Like the Disciples we do mourn,
When Jesus disappears;
Like they we find reproach and scorn,
And many doubts and fears.
8 But our great consolation is:
He will return again--
If we but trust his promises,
Our peace shall still remain.
Topics: Third Sunday after Easter Scripture: John 16:16-23 Languages: English
When Christ let his Disciples know
When Christ the blessed Saviour died
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #CCLXVII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ the blessed Saviour died,
And yielded up his ghost;
My suff'rings now are past, he cries,
I die to save the lost.
2 A pardon for our guilt he gain'd,
When Christ for us was slain;
Yet other blessings were obtain'd,
When Jesus rose again.
3 When he ascended up to God,
And took his seat above:
From whence his spirit is bestow'd,
Who sheds abroad his love.
4 Which works in us that living faith;
That faith which can destroy
The pow'rs of Satan, sin and death,
And fills our hearts with joy.
5 By Jesus' suff'rings we are sav'd,
And fitted for that place:
Where happiness abound indeed,
Before the Saviour's face.

When Christ the blessed Saviour died
When Christ to judgment shall descend
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.L (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ to judgment shall descend,
And saints surround their Lord,
He calls the nations to attend,
And hear his awful word.
2 “Not for the want of bullocks slain
Will I the world reprove;
Altars and rites, and forms are vain,
Without the fire of love.
3 And what have hypocrites to do
To bring their sacrifice?
They call my statutes just and true,
But deal in theft and lies.
4 Could you expect to ’scape my sight,
And sin without control;
But I shall bring your crimes to light,
With anguish in your soul."
5 Consider ye, that slight the Lord,
Before his wrath appear;
If once you fall beneath his sword,
There’s no deliv'rer there. Topics: Judgment of Hypocrites Scripture: Psalm 50 Languages: English
When Christ to judgment shall descend
When Christ was on the mount reveal'd
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #XLIII (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 When Christ was on the mount reveal'd
In his Disciples view,
Their hearts with dread and fear was fill'd,
With joy, and wonder too.
2 Their feeble eyes could scarce behold
The brightness of his face;
The Sun with all his glory could,
Dart no such glorious rays.
3 To prove that Jesus was the Lord,
Elias did appear;
And Moses bore the same record,
Whilst both convers'd him there.
4 A gracious voice from heaven came:
This is mine only son!
Give praise and honour to his name,
And make his glories known.
5 Should we not wish with him to dwell?
And view him ever more;
Like the Disciples, hear and feel
His glory, love and pow'r.
6 Can such a sight of Christ below
Transport our souls with love?
Far greater joys will He bestow,
In the bright world above. Topics: Sixth Sunday after Epiphany Scripture: Matthew 17:1-9 Languages: English
When Christ was on the mount reveal'd
When God is nigh, my faith is strong
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.XVI.III (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 9 When God is nigh, my faith is strong,
His arm is my almighty prop:
Be glad my heart; rejoice my tongue,
My dying flesh shall rest in hope.
10 Though in the dust I lay my head,
Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave
My soul for ever with the dead,
Nor lose thy children in the grave.
11 My flesh shall thy first call obey,
Shake off the dust, and rise on high;
Then shalt thou lead the wond'rous way
Up to the throne above the sky.
12 There streams of endless pleasure flow;
And full discoveries of thy grace
(Which we but tasted here below)
Spread heav'nly joys through all the place. Topics: Courage in Death, and Hope of the Resurrection Scripture: Psalm 16:9-11 Languages: English
When God is nigh, my faith is strong
When God, provok'd with daring crimes
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CVII.VI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 35 When God, provok'd with daring crimes,
Scourges the madness of the times,
He turns their fields to barren sand,
And dries the rivers from the land.
36 His word can raise the springs again,
And make the wither'd mountains green,
Send show'ry blessings from the skies;
And harvests in the desert rise.
37 [Where nothing dwelt but beasts of prey,
Or men as fierce and wild as they,
He bids th' opprest and poor repair,
And builds them towns and cities there.
38 They sow the fields, and trees they plant
Whose yearly fruit supplies their want;
Their race grows up from fruitful stocks,
Their wealth increases with their flocks.
39 Thus they are blest: but if they sin,
He lets the heathen nations in;
A savage crew invades their lands,
Their princes die by barb'rous hands.
40 Their captive sons, expos'd to scorn,
Wander unpiti'd and forlorn;
The country lies unfenc'd, untill'd,
And desolation spreads the field.
41 Yet if the humbled nation mourns
Again his dreadful hand he turns;
Again he makes their cities thrive,
And bids the dying churches live.]
42 The righteous with a joyful sense,
Admire the works of Providence;
And tongues of atheists shall no more,
Blaspheme the God that saints adore.
43 How few with pious care record
These wond'rous dealings of the Lord
But wise observers still shall find
The Lord is holy, just and kind. Topics: Colonies Planted Scripture: Psalm 107:35-43 Languages: English
When God, provok'd with daring crimes
When God restor'd our captive state
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CXXVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 When God restor'd our captive state
Joy was our song, and grace our theme;
The grace beyond our hopes so great,
That joy appear'd a pleasing dream.
2 The scoffer owns thy hand, and pays
Unwilling honours to thy name;
While we with pleasure shout thy praise,
With cheerful notes thy love proclaim.
3 When we review our dismal fears,
'Twas hard to think they'll vanish so;
With God we left our flowing tears,
He makes our joys like rivers flow.
4 The man that in his furrow'd field,
His scatter'd seed with sadness leaves,
Will shout to see the harvest yield
A welcome load of joyful sheaves. Topics: Surprising Deliverance Scripture: Psalm 126 Languages: English
When God restor'd our captive state
When I with pleasing wonder stand
Hymnal: CHBC1816 #P.CXXXIX.II (1816) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 11 When I with pleasing wonder stand,
And all my frame survey,
Lord 'tis thy work I own thy hand
Thus built my humble clay.
12 Thy hand my heart and reins possest,
Where unborn nature grew
Thy wisdom all my features trac'd,
And all my members drew.
13 Thine eye with nicest care survey'd
The growth of ev'ry part;
Till the whole scheme thy thoughts had laid
Was copy'd by thy art.
14 Heav'n, earth & sea, and fire and wind,
Show me thy wond'rous skill;
But I review myself, and find
Diviner wonders still.
15 Thy awful glories round me shine,
My flesh proclaims thy praise;
Lord, to thy works of nature join
Thy miracles of grace. Topics: The Wisdom of God in the Formation of Man Scripture: Psalm 139 Languages: English
When I with pleasing wonder stand
