Fully through Thee absolved I am From sin and fear, from guilt and shame. 4 And when the dead shall hear Thy voice, Thy banished children shall rejoice; Their beauty this, their glorious dress,-- Jesus, Thy blood and righteousness.

Rejoice, all ye believers

Meter: 7.6 Appears in 335 hymnals Topics: The Judgment Lyrics: 1 Rejoice, all ye believers, And let your lights appear! The evening is advancing, And darker night is near. The Bridegroom is arising, And soon He draweth nigh; Up, pray, and watch, and wrestle! At midnight comes the cry. 2 The watchers on the mountain Proclaim the Bridegroom near; Go meet Him as He cometh, With hallelujahs clear. The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory! The Bridegroom is at hand. 3 Ye saints, who here in patience Your cross and sufferings bore, Shall live and reign forever, When sorrow is no more. Around the throne of glory, The Lamb ye shall behold, In triumph cast before Him Your diadems of gold. 4 Our Hope and Expectation, O Jesus, now appear; Arise, Thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth’s redemption, That brings us unto Thee. Used With Tune: PRAISE

With healing balm my soul He fills, And every pain and sorrow stills: To God all praise and glory! 2 The angel host, O King of kings, Thy praise forever telling, In earth and sky all living things Beneath Thy shadow dwelling, Adore the wisdom which could span, And power which formed, creation's plan: To God all praise and glory! 3 What God's almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning glow or evening shade His watchful eye ne'er sleepeth: Within the kingdom of His might, Lo, all is just, and all is right: To God all praise and glory! 4 I cried to God in my distress, His mercy heard me calling; My Saviour saw my helplessness And kept my feet from falling; For this, Lord, praise and thanks to Thee! Praise God most high, praise God with me! To God all praise and glory! 5 The Lord is never far away, Forsakes His people never, He is their refuge and their stay, Their peace and trust forever; And with a mother's watchful love He guides them wheresoe'er they rove: To God all praise and glory! 6 When every earthly hope has flown From sorrow's sons and daughters, Our Father from His heavenly throne Beholds the troubled waters, And at His word the storm is stayed Which made His children's hearts afraid: To God all praise and glory! 7 Thus all my pilgrim way along I'll sing aloud Thy praises, That men may hear the grateful song My voice unwearied raises: Be joyful in the Lord, my heart! Both soul and body, bear your part! To God all praise and glory! Used With Tune: O HOLY GHOST, THOU HEAVENLY GIFT

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; For 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 his cross I view the day When heav'n and earth shall pass away, And thus prepare to meet him. Amen.

"Wake, awake, for night is flying"

Appears in 216 hymnals Topics: The Judgment Lyrics: 1 "Wake, awake, for night is flying," The watchmen on the heights are crying, "Awake, Jerusalem, arise!" Midnight hears the welcome voices, And at the thrilling cry rejoices: "O where are ye, ye virgins wise? The Bridegroom comes, awake! Your lamps with gladness take! Hallelujah! With bridal care yourselves prepare To meet the Bridegroom, who is near!" 2 Zion hears the watchmen singing, Her heart with heavenly joy is springing, She wakes, she rises from her gloom; For her Lord comes down all-glorious, The strong in grace, in truth victorious, Her Star is risen, her Light is come! All hail, incarnate Lord, Our crown and our reward! Hail! Hosanna! The joyful call we answer all, And follow to the nuptial hall. 3 Now let all the heavens adore Thee, And men and angels sing before Thee, With harp and cymbal's clearest tone; Of one pearl each shining portal, Where we are with the choir immortal Of angels round Thy dazzling throne. No eye has seen such sight, No ear heard such delight, Hallelujah! We raise the song, we swell the throng, To praise Thee ages all along. Used With Tune: WAKE, AWAKE, FOR NIGHT IS FLYING
