What Angel Can the Grace Explain

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13020 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 What angel can the grace explain, That very God is very man! By love paternal given: Begins the uncreated Word; Born is the everlasting Lord; Who made both earth and Heaven! 2 Behold Him, high above all height! Him, God of God, and Light of Light, In a mean earthly shrine: Jehovah’s glory dwells with men, His person in our flesh is seen, The character divine! 3 Not with these eyes of flesh and blood, Yet lo, we still behold the God, Replete with truth and grace; The truth of holiness we see, The grace of full felicity, In our Redeemer’s face. 4 Transformed by the ecstatic sight, Our souls o’erflow with pure delight, And every moment own; The Lord our whole protection is, The Lord is our immortal bliss, And Christ and Heaven are one.

Behold, The Awful Day Comes On

Author: Augustus M. Toplady Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #13392 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Behold, the awful day comes on, When Jesus on His righteous throne Shall in the clouds appear: With solemn pomp shall bow the sky, And, in the twinkling of an eye, Arraign us at His bar. 2 But first th’archangel’s trump shall blow, Our scattered dust its voice shall know, And quicken at the sound: The sea shall then give up her dead: And nations, starting from their bed, Shall cleave the opening ground. 3 Who shall withstand His righteous ire, When Jesus sets the clouds on fire, And makes the earth retreat? In vain shall sinners then repent. When each expiring element, Shall melt with fervent heat. 4 The dead in Christ shall first awake, The faithful few, who, for His sake, On earth were justified: Guarded by a seraphic band, Aloft they mount to His right hand, In whom they lived and died. 5 See next the guilty crowd arise. Beholding, with reluctant eyes, The glories of the Lamb; While taunting fiends impatient wait To hurl them from the judgment seat, To hell’s eternal flame. 6 Hark, as they mount, by devils borne, To meet their judge (on earth their scorn) Despairingly they cry, "Fall on us, rocks, with all your load, And screen us from the wrath of God, And hide us from His eye." 7 In vain on rocks and hills ye call, The rocks shall from their bases fall And know their place no more: The hills shall melt when God comes down, And mountains crumble at His frown, And groan beneath His power. 8 What thought can paint their black despair, Who this tremendous sentence hear, Irrevocably giv’n, "Depart, ye cursed, into hell, With everlasting burnings dwell, Remote from Me and Heav’n?" 9 But, O Thou Savior of mankind, Display Thy power, and to the blind Effectual light afford: Snatch them from unbelief and sin, And now compel them to come in, And tremble at Thy Word. 10 Methinks I hear Thy mercy plead, The voice of Him that wakes the dead Doth over sinners mourn: “Why do ye still your God forget, And madly hasten to the pit From whence is no return? 11 "Ye reasoners, make a rational choice; Listen, in time, to reason’s voice, Nor dare almighty ire: Turn, lest the hottest wrath ye feel, And find, too late, the flames of hell No metaphoric fire."

Now Sinner, Now What Is Thy Hope?

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #14665 Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 First Line: Now, sinner, now what is thy hope? Lyrics: 1 Now, sinner, now what is thy hope? Canst thou with confidence look up And see the angel nigh? Is death a messenger of peace? And dost thou long for thy release? And art thou fit to die? 2 Say, if prepared for death thou art, What means that faltering of thy heart, That inly stifled groan? Why shrinks thy soul with guilty fear, And loudly warns of judgment near, Starts from a God unknown? 3 Whither, ah! whither must thou go? Poor dying wretch, thou dost not know, Doubtful so near thine end; Doubtful with whom thou first shall meet, Who first thy parting soul shall greet, An angel, or a fiend? 4 Where wilt thou ease, or comfort take? Now to thy harmless life look back, From outward vice so free; Bring all thy works, and seeming good To balance with thy guilty load, And let them plead for thee. 5 Alas! they cannot buy thy peace, The rags of thy own righteousness They cannot screen thy shame: Full of all inward sin thou art, Anger, and lust, and pride of heart; And Legion is thy name. 6 Now let thy best endeavors plead, Now lean upon that feeble reed, Thou who hast lived so well! Thy dying weight it cannot bear But breaks, and leaves thee to despair, And lets thee sink to hell. 7 Now wilt thou mock the sons of God, Who felt the Savior’s sprinkled blood, And owned their sins forgiv’n? Tell them, their peace they cannot feel, The glorious hope, the Spirit’s seal, The antepast of Heav’n. 8 Hast thou received the Holy Ghost? Poor Christless soul, undone and lost, Already damned thou art; Now tell thy Lord, "It cannot be," He did not buy the grace for thee To dwell within thy heart. 9 His inspiration now blaspheme, And call it all a madman’s dream, That God in man should dwell; Th’enthusiastic scheme explode, That souls should here be filled with God; Go laugh at saints in hell! 10 Ah! no; thy laughter ceases there, Doomed with apostate fiends to share The unbeliever’s hire; There thou shalt die the second death, And gnaw thy tongue, and gnash thy teeth, And welter in that fire. 11 Alas! thy gracious day is past: The wrath is come: what hope at last The sentence to repeal? No longer thy damnation sleeps, The soul from off thy quivering lips Is staring into hell. 12 But if thou nothing hast to plead, Behold in this thy greatest need, An advocate is nigh: Ask Him to undertake thy cause, The Man that hung upon the cross, And deigned for thee to die. 13 See Him between the dying thieves— His grace the parting soul relieves, E’en at its latest hour; Ask, and His grace shall reach to thee, “Jesus, my king, remember me, Display Thy mercy’s power. 14 Thee for my Lord and God I own, With pity see me from Thy throne, And though my body dies, My soul, if Thou Thy Spirit give, My happy soul today shall live, With Thee in paradise.
