The Vengeance and Compassion of God
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #124 (1786) Topics: Judgement and Mercy; Judgement and Mercy First Line: Let God arise in all his might Lyrics: 1 Let God arise in all his might,
And put the troops of hell to flight;
As smoak that sought to cloud the skies
Before the rising tempest flies.
2 [He comes array'd in burning flames;
Justice and judgement are his names;
Behold his fainting foes expire,
Like melting wax before the fire.]
3 He rides and thunders through the sky;
His name Jehovah sounds on high:
Sing to his name, ye sons of grace;
Ye saints rejoice before his face.
4 The widow and the fatherless
Fly to his aid in sharp distress;
In him the poor and helpless find
A judge that’s just, a father kind.
5 He breaks the captive’s heavy chain,
And prisoners see the light again;
But rebels that dispute his will,
Shall dwell in chains and darkness still.
Pause.
6 Kingdoms and thrones to God belong;
Crown him, ye nations, in your song;
His wondrous names and powers rehearse,
His honours shall enrich your verse.
7 He shakes the heavens with loud alarms;
How terrible is God in arms!
In Israel are his mercies known,
Israel is his peculiar throne.
8 Proclaim him king, pronounce him blest;
He’s your defence, your joy, your rest:
When terrors rise, and nations faint,
God is the strength of every saint. Scripture: Psalm 68:32-35 Languages: English
The Vengeance and Compassion of God
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Author: Augustus Montague Toplady (1740-1778) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #772 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Topics: God in judgement and justice; Judgement Lyrics: 1 Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood,
from thy riven side which flowed,
be of sin the double cure:
cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labours of my hands
can fulfil thy law's demands;
could my zeal no respite know,
could my tears for ever flow,
all for sin could not atone:
thou must save, and thou alone.
3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
simply to thy cross I cling;
naked, come to thee for dress;
helpless, look to thee for grace;
foul, I to the fountain fly;
wash me, Saviour, or I die.
4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
when my eyelids close in death,
when I soar through tracts unknown,
see thee on thy judgement throne;
Rock of ages, cleft for me,
let me hide myself in thee. Scripture: Exodus 33:12-23 Languages: English Tune Title: PETRA
Rock of ages, cleft for me
O day of God, draw nigh

O day of God, draw nigh
Remember man that awful day
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCXXXI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: General Judgement Lyrics: 1 Remember man that awful day,
When all in judgment must appear,
When none can screen or flee away,
But stand their sentence there to hear.
2 When all the nations of the earth,
Yea all that are of Adam's race,
From East and West, and South and North
Are call'd before their Judge's face.
3 Impartial judgement then shall pass,
Without indulgence or regard;
And ev'ry rank and ev'ry class,
Receive their just and due reward.
4 There no respect to man is paid,
But all must stand the solemn test:
The beggar and the crowned head,
Must be for ever curs'd or blest.
5 those sins and vices here conceal'd,
And hidden from the eyes of men,
Shall be to public view reveal'd,
With ev'ry blot and guilt and stain.
6 What dread will seize the guilty mind,
And what a burning hell within;
What horrors will those wretches find,
Who liv'd and died in wilful sin.
7 Our minds impress'd with such a thought
Should fill our hearts with holy fear,
And this should never be forgot;
In judgment we must all appear. Languages: English

The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #4 (1786) Topics: Judgement Day; Judgement Day First Line: Blest is the man who shuns the place Lyrics: 1 Blest is the man who shuns the place,
Where sinners love to meet;
Who fears to tread their wicked ways,
And hates the scoffer’s seat.
2 But in the statutes of the Lord,
Has plac'd his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.
3 [He like a plant of generous kind,
By living waters set,
Safe from the storms and blasting wind,
Enjoys a peaceful state.]
4 Green as the leaf, and ever fair
Shall his profession shine;
While fruits of holiness appear
Like clusters on the vine.
5 Not so the impious and unjust;
What vain designs they form!
Their hopes are blown away like dust,
Or chaff before the storm.
6 Sinners in judgment shall not stand
Among the sons of grace,
When Christ the Judge at his right-hand
Appoints his saints a place.
7 His eye beholds the path they tread,
His heart approves it well;
But crooked ways of sinners lead
Down to the gates of hell. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

Has plac'd his chief delight;
By day he reads or hears the word,
And meditates by night.

The Way and End of the Righteous and the Wicked
The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #5a (1786) Topics: Judgement Day; Judgement Day First Line: The man is ever blest Lyrics: 1 The man is ever blest,
Who shuns the sinners' ways,
Among their councils never stands,
Nor takes the scorner's place:
2 But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labours of the day,
And watches of the night.
3 He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root;
Fresh as the leaf his name shall live,
His works are heavenly fruit.
4 Not so th' ungoldy race,
They no such blessings find:
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and he approves
The ways the righteous go:
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
The Saint happy, the Sinner miserable
The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked
Hymnal: Doctor Watts's imitation of the Psalms of David, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (3rd ed.) #5b (1786) Topics: Judgement Day; Judgement Day First Line: Happy the man, whose cautious feet Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose cautious feet
Shun the broad way where sinners go,
Who hates the place where Atheists meet,
And fears to talk as scoffers do.
2 He loves t' employ his morning light
Among the statutes of the Lord;
And spends the wakeful hours of night,
With pleasure pond'ring o'er the word.
3 He, like a plant by gentle streams,
Shall flourish in immortal green;
And Heaven will shine with kindest beams,
On every work his hands begin.
4 But sinners find their counsels cross'd;
As chaff before the tempest flies;
So shall their hopes be blown and lost,
When the last trumpet shakes the skies.
5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand
In judgment with the pious race;
The dreadful Judge with stern command
Divides him to a different place.
6 "Strait is the Way my saints have trod,
"I bless'd the path, and drew it plain;
"But you would chuse the crooked road;
"And down it leads to endless pain. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English
