Awake! the Watchman Crieth

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Augustus Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake! the watchman crieth, On Zion's ramparts still! The Lord His grace supplieth, Repent, and heed His will. Life's journey fast is nearing The ever-lasting shore; The hour of death appearing, When time shall be no more. 2 Too late the sinners waken Where morn hath ceased to dawn; Where grace that was forsaken Is evermore withdrawn; Where's heard no praying sentence God's mercy to implore; For there is no repentance, When time shall be no more. 3 O souls who spurn salvation! See this eternity Of darkness, desolation, And constant agony. The torments none can banish, Nor aught can peace restore; And hope itself shall vanish, When time shall be no more! 4 Awake! the voice still soundeth; 'Tis now the accepted hour; The grace of God aboundeth To save from sin's dread power. Make haste, implore Christ's favor, Thy sins confess, and bow Before Thy Lord and Saviour; The accepted time is now. Amen.

See his soul and body languish, Us from sin and death to free. O such depth of pain and woe Never mortal heart did know! 2 Hand and foot by sinners wounded, Bruised and tortured, head bowed down, Hangs our Saviour now surrounded By His foes, their thorns His crown. O such depth of pain and woe Never mortal heart did know! 3 Hear His cry in prayer and pleading, "Father, to Thy hands commend I my spirit; light and leading In this hour of darkness send." O such depth of pain and woe Never mortal heart did know! 4 Rent the temple veil, all nature Wrapped in gloom of midday night, Eye and heart of every creature Weep with pity at the sight. O such depth of pain and woe Never mortal heart did know! 5 Sinful heart, in deep contrition Bow before the Crucified; Contemplate His grievous passion, Own that for thy sins He died. O such love as He hath shown Never mortal heart hath known. Topics: Church Year Holy Week; Good Friday; Names and Office of Christ Crucified Used With Tune: SKÅDER, SKÅDER NU HÄR ALLE

His righteousness is full and free, O sinful man, to thee, to thee. 3 For this o'erwhelming sacrifice The Lord will nevermore despise A contrite heart and spirit. By Jesus' death, by Jesus' blood, Full pleasing in the sight of God, His mercy we inherit. The fount of grace flows full and free, O pardoned soul, for thee, for thee. 4 By faith alone, for Jesus' sake, Each ransomed sinner may partake Of His abounding merit. If in His promise ye abide, By faith shall ye be justified, And blest with His free Spirit. His righteousness the just shall own By faith alone, by faith alone. Amen.

Guided by Thy revelation, Lighted by Thy living Word, Touched by Thy great love and passion, I draw near to Thy salvation. 2 In the quiet path of duty I my earthly span may fill, Pressing onward in the beauty Of performing but Thy will, Well content with all Thou sendest, If Thy grace to me Thou lendest. 3 Let me live in peace and stillness, Giving to no soul offense; Pain or pleasure, helth or illness Take I from Thy providence, Never wounding, ever healing, Thus a Christly life revealing. 4 Here my cross with patience bearing, I will go where Jesus leads, All enduring, all forbearing, For His sake who knows my needs. O how swift the fours of trail, Spent in Christian self-denial! 5 Keep me quietly expecting Thine appearance, Saviour dear; In my life, Thy life reflecting, Let Thy sacred love appear, Till on earth my last day closes, And my soul in Thee reposes. 6 Gracious Saviour, deign to number Me with saints in glory there, Calm and peaceful then my slumber After my last evening prayer; When from dust my spirit rises, All my tears shall change to praises. 7 Let my body then be hidden In a humble, nameless tomb; When at last I shall be bidden To forsake that narrow room, Jesus knows where they are sleeping Who were given in His keeping.
