cres. 8: P "He....saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus." 1OQUICKLY come,dread Judge of all; | For, awful though Thine advent be, All shadows from the truth will fall, And falsehood die, in sight of Thee: O quickly come for doubt and fear Like clouds dissolve when Thou art near. : 20 quickly come, great King of all; Reign all around us, and within; Let sin no more our souls enthral, Let pain and sorrow die with sin: O quickly come: for Thou alone Canst make Thy scattered people one. 30 quickly come, true Life of all; For death is mighty all around; On every home his shadows fall, On every heart his mark is found: 40 quickly come, sure Light of all, way; With weary watching for the day: O quickly come: for round Thy throne No eye is blind, no night is known. Ꮎ DAY of wrath! O day of mourning! See fulfilled the prophet's warning! Heaven and earth in ashes burning. 2 O what fear man's bosom rendeth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth! 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, 4 Death is struck, and nature quaking, 7 What shall I, frail man, be pleading, 10 Faint and weary Thou hast sought me, On the cross of suffering bought me ; Shall such grace be vainly brought me? 11 Righteous Judge! for sin's pollution Grant Thy gift of absolution, Ere that day of retribution. 12 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning; Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning! 13 Thou the sinful woman savedst; Thou the dying thief forgavest; And to me a hope vouchsafest. 14 Worthless are my prayers and sighing, Yet, good Lord, in grace complying, Rescue me from fires undying. Hymn 90 (53) Rev. William Jones. NEWINGTON (C.M.) Ꮎ “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind.” WHEN God of old came down from 3 The fires that rushed on Sinai down 1 WH heaven, In power and wrath He came ; Before His feet the clouds were riven, Half darkness and half flame. 2 But when He came the second time, In sudden torrents dread, Now gently light, a glorious crown, On every sainted head. 4 And as on Israel's awe-struck ear The voice exceeding loud, The trump, that angels quake to hear, Thrilled from the deep, dark cloud; 5 So, when the Spirit of our God Came down His flock to find, A voice from heaven was heard abroad, 6 It fills the Church of God-it fills Only in stubborn hearts and wills 7 Come Lord, come Wisdom, Love, and Power, Open our ears to hear; Let us not miss the accepted hour; Save, Lord, by love or fear. |
