Jesus Christ, my sure Defence

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Luise Henriette v. Brandenburg (?) Hymnal: LHTC1918 #511 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure Defence And my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I, too, unto life shall waken: He will have me where He is; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear? Or can the Head Rise and leave His members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope for ever; Faith's strong hand the rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 Saviour, draw away our heart Now from pleasures base and hollow, Let us there with Thee have part, Here on earth Thy footsteps follow. Fix our hearts beyond the skies, Whither we ourselves would rise. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Jesus lives! no longer now

Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Christian Fürchtegott Gellert Hymnal: LHTC1918 #512 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives! no longer now Can Thy terrors, Death, appall us; Jesus lives! by this we know From the grave He will recall us. Brighter scenes will then commence; This shall be our confidence. 2 Jesus lives! to Him the throne High o'er heaven and earth is given; I shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven, God is pledged; weak doubtings hence! This shall be our confidence. 3 Jesus lives! we know full well, Naught from us His love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell, Part us now from Christ for ever. God will be a sure defence; This shall be our confidence. 4 Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of Life Immortal; This shall calm our trembling breath When I pass its gloomy portal; Faith shall cry, as fails each sense: "Lord, Thou art our confidence!" Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Resurrection Languages: English Tune Title: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT

Lo! He comes, with clouds descending

Author: John Cennick; John Wesley Hymnal: LHTC1918 #513 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Lo! He comes, with clouds descending, Once for favored sinners slain! Thousand thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of His train: Alleluia! God appears on earth to reign! 2 Every eye shall now behold Him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at naught, and sold Him, Pierced, and nailed Him to the Tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 Now redemption long expected, See in solemn pomp appear, All His saints, by man rejected, Now shall meet Him in the air: Alleluia! See the Day of God appear. 4 Yea, Amen, let all adore Thee, High on Thine eternal throne! Saviour, take the power and glory, Claim the Kingdom for Thine own; O come quickly, Alleluia! come, Lord, come! Amen.

Great God, what do I see and hear!

Author: Anon.; William Bengo Collyer; Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: LHTC1918 #514 (1917) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear, On clouds of glory seated. The trumpet sounds; the graves restore The dead which they contained before; Prepare, my soul, to meet Him. 2 The dead in Christ shall first arise, At the last trumpet’s sounding, Caught up to meet Him in the skies, 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. But 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! The end of things created! The Judge of mankind doth appear, On clouds of glory seated. Beneath Thy Cross I view the day When heaven and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet Thee. Amen.

Day of wrath! that day of mourning!

Author: Thomas de Celano; William J. Irons; Isaac Williams Hymnal: LHTC1918 #515 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Day of wrath! that day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophets' warning, Heaven and earth in ashes burning! O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heav'n the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth. 2 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Through earth's sepulchres it ringeth. All before the throne it bringeth Death is struck, and nature quaking, All creation is awaking, To its Judge an answer making. 3 Lo, the Book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Thence shall judgment be awarded. When the Judge His seat attaineth, And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 4 What shall I, frail man, be pleading? Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing? King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 5 Think, kind Jesus! my salvation Caused Thy wondrous Incarnation: Leave me not to reprobation! Faith and weary thou hast sought me, On the Cross of suffering bought me; Shall such grace in vain be brought me? 6 Righteous Judge of retribution, Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that Day's dread execution. Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning: Spare, O God, Thy suppliant, groaning! 7 Thou the woman gav'st remission, Heard'st the dying thief's petition; Hopeless, else were my condition. Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying. 8 With Thy favored sheep O place me; Nor among the goats abase me; But to Thy right hand upraise me, While the wicked are confounded, Doomed to flames of woe unbounded, Call me, with Thy saints surrounded. 9 Low I kneel, with heart-submission; See, like ashes, my contrition; Help me in my last condition. Ah, that day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning, Man for judgment must prepare him; Spare, O God, in mercy spare him: 10 Lord, all pitying, Jesus blest, Grant us Thine eternal rest. Amen. Amen.

Heavenward still our pathway tends

Author: Frances Elizabeth Cox; Benjamin Schmolk Hymnal: LHTC1918 #516 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Heavenward still our pathway tends; Here on earth we are but strangers, Till our road in Canaan ends, Safely passed this wild of dangers; Here we but as pilgrims rove, For our home is there above. 2 Heavenward still, my soul, ascend! Thou art one of heaven's creations; Earth can ne'er give aim or end Fit to fill thy aspirations; And a heaven-enlightened mind Evermore its source to find. 3 Heavenward still! God calls to me In His Word, so loudly speaking; Glimpses in that Word I see Of the home I'm ever seeking. While my heart that call attends, Still to heaven my path ascends. 4 Heavenward still when life shall close, Death to my true home shall guide me: Then, triumphant o'er my woes, Lasting bliss shall God provide me. Christ Himself the way has led; Joyful in His steps I tread. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: MEINHOLD

A pilgrim and a stranger

Author: Jane Borthwick; Paul Gerhardt Hymnal: LHTC1918 #517a (1917) Lyrics: 1 A pilgrim and a stranger, I journey here below; Far distant is my country, The house to which I go. Here I must toil and travail, Oft weary and oppressed, But there my God shall lead me To everlasting rest. 2 There still my thoughts are dwelling, 'Tis there I long to be; Come, Lord, and call Thy servant To blessedness with Thee. Come, bid my toils be ended, Let all my wanderings cease; Call from the wayside lodging To the sweet home of peace. 3 There I shall dwell for ever, No more a stranger guest, With all Thy blood-bought children In everlasting rest,-- The pilgrim toils forgotten, The pilgrim conflicts o'er, All earthly griefs behind us, Eternal joys before! Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: LLANGLOFFAN

There is a land of pure delight

Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: LHTC1918 #518 (1917) Lyrics: 1 There is a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign; Infinite day excludes the night, And pleasures banish pain. 2 There everlasting spring abides, And never-withering flowers; Death, like a narrow sea, divides This heavenly land from ours. 3 Sweet fields beyond the swelling flood, Stand dressed in living green: So to the Jews old Canaan stood, While Jordan rolled between. 4 But timorous mortals start and shrink To cross this narrow sea, And linger, shivering, on the brink, And fear to launch away. 5 O could we make our doubts remove, Those gloomy thoughts that rise, And see the Canaan that we love With unbeclouded eyes! 6 Could we but climb where Moses stood, And view the landscape o’er, Not Jordan’s stream, nor death’s cold flood Should fright us from the shore. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: SAWLEY

Ten thousand times ten thousand

Author: Henry Alford Hymnal: LHTC1918 #519 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Ten thousand times ten thousand, In sparkling raiment bright, The armies of the ransomed saints Throng up the steeps of light: 'Tis finished, all is finished, Their fight with death and sin: Fling open wide the golden gates, And let the victors in. 2 What rush of alleluias, Fills all the earth and sky! What ringing of a thousand harps Bespeaks the triumph high! O day, for which creation And all its tribes were made! O joy, for all its former woes, A thousand fold repaid! 3 Bring near Thy great salvation, Thou Lamb for sinners slain; Fill up the roll of Thine elect, Then take Thy power and reign: Appear, Desire of nations, Thine exiles long for home; Show in the heavens Thy promised sign, Thou Prince and Saviour, come! Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Languages: English Tune Title: ALFORD
