Day of Judgment, Day of Wonders

Author: John Newton Appears in 341 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment, day of wonders, Hark! the trumpet's awful sound, Louder than a thousand thunders, Shakes the vast creation round! How the summons, how the summons, Will the sinner's heart confound! 2 See the Judge our nature wearing, Clothed in majesty divine! Ye who long for His appearing Then shall say, "This God is mine!" Gracious Saviour, Gracious Saviour, Own me on that day for Thine! 3 At His call the dead awaken, Rise to life from earth and sea; All the powers of nature, shaken By His looks, prepare to flee: Careless sinner, careless sinner What will then become of thee? 4 But to those who have confessèd, Loved, and served the Lord below; He will say, "Come near ye blessèd, See the kingdom I bestow! You forever, you forever, Shall my love and glory know." Amen.

Dayspring of Eternity

Author: Christian Knorr Rosenroth Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dayspring of Eternity, Brightness of the Father's glory, Dawn on us that we may see Clouds and darkness flee before Thee; Drive afar, with conquering might, All our night. 2 As the soft, refreshing dew Falls upon the drooping flower, So our fainting hearts renew By Thy Spirit's quickening power; Ne'er Thy bounteous grace withhold From Thy fold. 3 Let the glow of Thy pure love All our icy coldness banish; In the radiance from above May our doubts and fears all vanish, That ere dying we may be Found in Thee. 4 Light us to the golden shore, O Thou rising Sun of morning! Lead where tears shall flow no more, Where all sighs to songs are turning, Where Thy glory sheds alway Perfect day. Amen.

Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice

Author: Martin Luther Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Christians, one and all, rejoice, With exultation springing, And, with united heart and voice And holy rapture singing, Proclaim the wonders God hath done, How His right arm the vict'ry won; Right dearly it hath cost Him. 2 Fast bound in Satan's chains I lay, Death brooded darkly o'er me, Sin was my torment night and day, In sin my mother bore me; Still deeper in despair I fell, Life had become a living hell, So firmly sin possessed me. 3 Then God beheld my wretched state With deep commiseration; He thought upon His mercy great, And willed my soul's salvation; He turned to me a Father's heart; Not small the cost! to heal my smart, He gave His best and dearest. 4 He spoke to His belovèd Son: "'Tis time to have compassion: Then go, bright Jewel of My crown, And bring to man salvation; From sin and sorrow set him free, Slay bitter death for him, that he May live with Thee forever." 5 The Son obeyed Him cheerfully, And born of virgin mother, Came down upon the earth to me, That He might be my brother: His mighty power doth work unseen, He came in fashion poor and mean, And took the devil captive. 6 We thank Thee, Lord, for boundless grace, And sing Thy praise forever, For granting us in dire distress Thine everlasting favor. Both death and hell were stricken down, When Thou didst for our sins atone, O Jesus, blessèd Saviour. Amen.

Dear Lord and Father of Mankind

Author: John G. Whittier; John Greenleaf Whittier Appears in 510 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dear Lord and Father of mankind, Forgive our fev'rish ways; Reclothe us in our rightful mind, In purer lives Thy service find, In deeper rev'rence, praise. 2 In simple trust like theirs who heard, Beside the Syrian sea, The gracious calling of the Lord, Let us, like them, without a word Rise up and follow Thee. 3 O Sabbath rest by Galilee! O calm of hills above, Where Jesus knelt to share with Thee The silence of eternity, Interpreted by love! 4 Drop Thy still dews of quietness, Till all our strivings cease; Take from our souls the strain and stress, And let our ordered lives confess The beauty of Thy peace. 5 Breathe through the heat of our desire Thy coolness and Thy balm; Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire; Speak thro' the earthquake, wind, and fire, O still, small voice of calm. Amen.

Dread Jehovah, God of Nature

Appears in 146 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Dread Jehovah, God of nature, From Thy temple in the skies, Hear Thy people's supplications, Now for their deliv'rance rise. 2 Lo, with deep contrition turning, Humbly at Thy feet we bend; Hear us, fasting, praying, mourning; Hear us, spare us, and defend. 3 Though our sins, our hearts confounding, Long and loud for vengeance call, Thou hast mercy more abounding, Jesus' blood can cleanse from all. 4 Let that love veil our transgression, Let that blood our guilt efface: Save Thy people from oppression, Save from spoil Thy holy place. Amen.

Fade, Fade, Each Earthly Joy

Perishing things of clay, Born but for one brief day, Pass from my heart away; Jesus is mine. 3 Farewell, ye dreams of night; Jesus is mine. Lost in this dawning bright Jesus is mine. All that my soul has tried Left but a dismal void; Jesus has satisfied; Jesus is mine. 3 Farewell, mortality; Jesus is mine. Welcome, eternity; Jesus is mine. Welcome, O loved and blest, Welcome, sweet scenes of rest, Welcome, my Saviour’s breast: Jesus is mine. Amen.

Father, Be Thy Blessing Shed

Author: Samuel Gilman Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Father, be Thy blessing shed On Thy chosen servant's head; Saviour, needed grace impart To sustain and keep his heart; Holy Spirit, with Thy fire Touch his lips, his soul inspire, That Thy truth thro' him be told Fearlessly to young and old. 2 Seal this day the vows that hold Flock and shepherd in one fold. May he Jesus' mandate keep, "Feed My lambs," and "Feed My sheep!" By Thee to Thy people sent With Thy Word and Sacrament, May he so proclaim the Word That who hear him hear Thee, Lord. 3 In Thy vineyard called to toll, Wisely may he search the soil; Sinners may he love and win, While he hates and brands the sin. Give him boldness for the right, Give him meekness in the fight, Teach him zeal and care to blend, Give him patience to the end. 4 Grant him in his charge to find Listening ear and fervent mind, Helpful counsels, deepening peace, Earnest life, and glad increase; May they, by each other led, Grow to one in Christ, their Head, And at last together be Ripe for heaven and meet for Thee. Amen.

Author: John M. Neale; John Mason Neale; Anatolius Appears in 125 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Fierce was the billow wild, Dark was the night; Oars labored heavily, Foam glimmered white; Trembled the mariners, Peril was drawing nigh; Then said the God of God, "Peace! It is I." 2 Ridge of the mountain-wave, Lower thy crest! Wail of the tempest fierce, Be thou at rest! Sorrow must never be, Darkness must ever fly, Where saith the Light of Light, "Peace! It is I." 3 Jesus, Deliverer, Come Thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea: Thou, when the storm of death Roars, fiercely sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of Truth, "Peace! It is I." Amen.
