Where Shall I Be?
Author: C.P. Jones Appears in 52 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:2-6 First Line: When judgment day is drawing nigh Refrain First Line: Where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds Lyrics: 1. When judgment day is drawing nigh,
Where shall I be?
When God the works of mortals tries,
Where shall I be?
When east and west the fire shall roll,
Where shall I be?
How will it be with my poor soul.
Where shall I be?
Refrain:
Oh, where shall I be when the first trumpet sounds?
Oh, where shall I be when it sounds so loud,
When it sounds so loud as to wake up the dead?
Oh, where shall I be when it sounds?
2. When wicked souls his wrath shall see,
Where shall I be?
And to the rocks and mountains flee,
Where shall I be?
When hills and mountains flee away,
Where shall I be?
When all our human works decay,
Where shall I be? [Refrain]
3. When Heav'n and Earth, as some great scroll,
Where shall I be?
Shall from God's angry presence roll,
Where shall I be?
When all the saints redeemed shall stand,
Where shall I be?
Forever blest at God's right hand,
Where shall I be? [Refrain]
4. All trouble done, all conflict past,
Where shall I be?
And old Apollyon bound at last,
Where shall I be?
When Christ shall reign from shore to shore,
Where shall I be?
And peace abide forever more,
Where shall I be? [Refrain] Topics: Ordinary Time Week 28 Used With Tune: WHERE SHALL I BE

My soul, there is a country
Author: Henry Vaughan, 1622-1695 Meter: 7.6.7.6 Appears in 40 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:10 Lyrics: 1 My soul, there is a country
far beyond the stars,
where stands a wingèd sentry
all skilful in the wars.
2 There, above noise and danger,
sweet peace sits crowned with smiles,
and One born in a manger
commands the beauteous files.
3 He is thy gracious Friend,
and — O my soul, awake! —
did in pure love descend,
to die here for thy sake.
4 If thou canst get but thither,
there grows the flower of peace,
the rose that cannot wither,
thy fortress and thy ease.
5 Leave then thy foolish ranges,
for none can thee secure
but one who never changes,
thy God, thy life, thy cure. Topics: Creation Used With Tune: CHRISTUS DER IST MEIN LEBEN

Rise, My Soul, to Watch and Pray
Author: Johann Burkhard Freystein, 1671-1718; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.6.7.6.3.3.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:5-9 Lyrics: 1 Rise, my soul, to watch and pray;
From your sleep awaken!
Be not by the evil day
Unawares o'ertaken;
For the foe,
Well we know,
Is a harvest reaping
While the saints are sleeping.
2 Watch against the devil's snares
Lest asleep he find you;
For indeed no pains he spares
To deceive and blind you.
Satan's prey
Oft are they
Who secure are sleeping
And no watch are keeping.
3 Watch! Let not the wicked world
With its lies defeat you
Lest with bold deceptions hurled
It betray and cheat you.
Watch and see
Lest there be
Faithless friends to charm you,
Who but seek to harm you.
4 Watch against yourself, my soul,
Lest with grace you trifle;
Let not self your thoughts control
Nor God's mercy stifle.
Pride and sin
Lurk within,
All your hopes to shatter;
Heed not when they flatter.
5 But while watching, also pray
To the Lord unceasing.
God protects you day by day,
Strength and faith increasing,
So that still
Mind and will
Shall unite to serve Him
And forever love Him.

a godly life displaying;
I bid you walk as in the day,
I keep your feet from straying.
I am the way, and well I show
how you must sojourn here below.

what harms your soul's salvation,
your heart from ev'ry guile to free,
from sin and its temptation.
I am the refuge of the soul
and lead you to your heav'nly goal."

and take the cross appointed
and, firmly clinging to his Word,
in suff'ring be undaunted.
For those who bear the battle's strain
the crown of heav'nly life obtain. Topics: Discipleship Used With Tune: MACH MIT MIR, GOTT Text Sources: St. 3: Geistliche Lieder und Lobgesänge, 1695

God and fiends are battle waging—
Every ransomed pow’r engaging,
Break the tempter’s spell.
Dare ye still lie fondly dreaming,
Wrapt in ease and worldly scheming,
While the multitudes are streaming
Downwards into hell?
Refrain:
Through the world resounding,
Let the gospel sounding,
Summon all, at Jesus’ call
His glorious cross surrounding.
Sons of God, earth’s trifles leaving,
Be not faithless but believing,
To your conqu’ring Captain cleaving,
Forward in the fight.
2 Lord, we come, and from Thee never
Self nor earth our hearts shall sever;
Thine entirely, Thine forever,
We will fight and die.
To a world of rebels dying,
Heav’n and hell and God defying,
Everywhere we’ll still be crying,
“Will ye perish—why?” [Refrain]
3 Hark! I hear the warriors shouting,
Now the hosts of hell we’re routing;
Courage! Onward! Never doubting,
We shall win the day.
See the foe before us falling,
Sinners on the Savior calling,
Throwing off the bondage galling—
Join our glad array.

O Holy Ghost, thy people bless
Author: Henry Williams Baker, 1821-1877 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:5 Lyrics: 1 O Holy Ghost, thy people bless
who long to feel thy might,
and fain would grow in holiness
as children of the light.
2 To thee we bring, who art the Lord,
ourselves to be thy throne;
let ev'ry thought and deed and word
thy pure dominion own.
3 Life-giving Spirit, o’er us move,
as on the formless deep;
give life and order, light and love,
where now is death or sleep.
4 Great gift of our ascended King,
his saving truth reveal;
our tongues inspire His praise to sing,
our hearts his love to feel.
5 True wind of heav’n, from south or north,
for joy or chast'ning, blow;
the garden-spices shall spring forth
if thou wilt bid them flow.
6 O Holy Ghost, of sev'nfold might,
all graces come from thee;
grant us to know and serve aright
one God in Persons Three.

y espera velando a tu augusto Señor;

viniendo se anuncia con fuerte clamor.
2 Si falta en algunos el santo fervor,
la fe sea de todos el despertador.
Velad, compañeros, velad sin temor,
que está con nosotros el Consolador.
3 Quien sigue la senda del vil pecador,
se entrega en los brazos de un sueño traidor;
Mas para los siervos del buen Salvador,
velar esperando es su anhelo mejor.
