Day of wrath! that day of mourning!

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #276b (1898) Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath! that day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophets' warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth! 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth, All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 5 Lo, the Book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded! Thence shall judgment be awarded. 6 When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? 8 King of majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 9 Think, good Jesus! my salvation Cost Thy wondrous incarnation, Leave me not to reprobation! 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me: Shall such grace in vain brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution! 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the sinful woman savedst; Thou the dying thief forgavest; And to me a hope vouchsafest. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying! 15 With Thy favored sheep O place me! Nor among the goats abase me; But to Thy right hand upraise me. 16 While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 17 Bows my heart in meek submission, Strewn with ashes of contrition; Help me in my last condition! 18 Ah, that day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning, Man for judgment must prepare him: 19 Spare, O God, in mercy spare him! Lord, all-pitying, Jesus blest, Grant them Thine eternal rest!

Days and moments quickly flying

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #152 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Lyrics: 1 Days and moments quickly flying Speed us onward to the dead; Oh, how soon shall we be lying Each within his narrow bed! 2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer, Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice; Wake, oh, wake each idle dreamer Now to make the eternal choice! 3 Mark me whither we are wending; Ponder how we soon must go To inherit bliss unending, Or eternity of woe. 4 As a shadow life is fleeting; As a vapor so it flies: For the bygone years retreating, Pardon grant, and make us wise; 5 Wise that we our days may number, Strive and wrestle with our sin; Stay not in our work, nor slumber Till Thy holy rest we win.

Dear Refuge of my weary soul

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #92 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Dear Refuge of my weary soul, On Thee, when sorrows rise, On Thee, when waves of trouble roll, My fainting hope relies. 2 To Thee I tell each rising grief, For Thou alone canst heal; Thy Word can bring a sweet relief For every pain I feel. 3 But oh, when gloomy doubts prevail, I fear to call Thee mine; The springs of comfort seem to fail, And all my hopes decline. 4 Yet, gracious God, where shall I flee? Thou art my only trust, And still my soul would cleave to Thee, Though prostrate in the dust. 5 Thy mercy-seat is open still; Here let my soul retreat, With humble hope attend Thy will, And wait beneath Thy feet.

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #160 (1898) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near, The waters of life are now flowing for thee; No price is demanded, the Saviour is here; Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. Redemption is purchased, salvation is free. 5 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God? A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb; Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight, And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night.

Deluded souls that dream of heaven

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #78 (1898) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Deluded souls that dream of heaven, And make their empty boast Of inward joys and sins forgiven, While they are slaves to lust! 2 Vain are our fancies' airy flights, If faith be cold and dead; None but a living power unites To Christ, the living Head; 3 A faith that changes all the heart, A faith that works by love; That bids all sinful joys depart, And lifts the thoughts above. 4 Faith must obey our Father’s will, As well as trust His grace: A pardoning God requires us still To perfect holiness.

Eternal Son of God, O Thou

Faith is a living power from heaven

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #36 (1898) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Faith is a living power from heaven, That grasps the promise God hath given, A confidence in Christ alone, Whose grace can not be overthrown. 2 Faith in the conscience worketh peace, And bids the mourner’s weeping cease; By faith the children’s place we claim, And give all honor to One Name. 3 Faith feels the Spirit’s kindling breath In love and hope that conquer death; Faith worketh joyfulness in God, And trust that blesses e’en the rod. 4 We thank Thee then, O God of heaven, That Thou to us this faith hast given; Preserve to us Thy Spirit's grace Till we shall see Thee face to face.

Faith is wisdom from on high

Hymnal: CHCS1898 #177 (1898) Lyrics: 1 Faith is wisdom from on high, Hearing ear and seeing eye; In the soul a higher light Than the ken of mortal sight; Lively trust and hope serene, Evidence of things not seen. 2 Faith in meekness, as is meet, Sits and learns at Jesus' feet, Nestles closely to the Lord, Happy in the Master's Word; Cleaves to it, defends it then: This to faith is Yea, Amen. 3 Faith is sure, where sight is blind: While lost sense may nowhere find Hope, to stay a sinking soul When the billows o'er it roll, Faith directs its saving quest To the cross, and there finds rest. 4 Faith, in childlike trust, is wise: Trusting Him who never lies, By whose grace the weak grow strong, Change their sighing into song. Praise be Thine, O Lord of might! Faith shall end in glorious sight. Topics: Faith; Faith Nature of Languages: English Tune Title: VENI, SANCTE SPIRITUS
