The Day is Surely Drawing Near

Author: Philip A. Peter; Bartholomäus Ringwald Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #611 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: The Last Things Judgment Lyrics: 1 The day is surely drawing near When God's Son, the Anointed, Shall with great majesty appear As Judge of all appointed. All mirth and laughter then shall cease When flames on flames will still increase, As Scripture truly teacheth. 2 A trumpet loud shall then resound And all the earth be shaken. Then all who in their graves are found Shall from their sleep awaken; But all that live shall in that hour By the Almighty's boundless pow'r Be changed at His commanding. 3 A book is opened then to all, A record truly telling What each hath done, both great and small, When he on earth was dwelling; And ev'ry heart be clearly seen, And all be known as they have been In tho'ts and words and actions. 4 Then woe to those who scorned the Lord And sought but carnal pleasures, Who here despised His precious Word And loved their earthly treasures! With shame and trembling they will stand And at the Judge's stern command To Satan be delivered. 5 O Jesus, who my debt didst pay And for my sin wast smitten, Within the Book of Life, oh, may My name be also written! I will not doubt; I trust in Thee, From Satan Thou hast made me free And from all condemnation. 6 Therefore my Intercessor be And for Thy blood and merit Declare my name from judgment free With all who life inherit, That I may see Thee face to face With all Thy saints in that blest place Which Thou for us hast purchased. 7 O Jesus Christ, do not delay, But hasten our salvation; We often tremble on our way In fear and tribulation. Then hear us when we cry to Thee; Come, mighty Judge, and make us free From every evil! Amen. Amen. Scripture: Luke 21:25-36 Languages: English Tune Title: ES IST GEWISSLICH

For Thee, O Dear, Dear Country

Author: John M.

The mention of thy glory Is unction to the breast, And medicine in sickness And love and life and rest. 2 O one, O only mansion, O Paradise of joy, Where tears are ever banished And smiles have no alloy! The Lamb is all thy splendor, The Crucified thy praise; His laud and benediction Thy ransomed people raise. 3 With jasper glow thy bulwarks, Thy streets with em'ralds blaze; The sardius and the topaz Unite in thee their rays; Thine ageless walls are bonded With amethyst unpriced; The saints build up thy fabric, And the corner-stone is Christ. 4 Thou hast no shore, fair ocean; Thou hast no time, bright day, Dear fountain of refreshment To pilgrims far away! Upon the Rock of Ages They raise thy holy tower; Thine is the victor's laurel, And Thine the golden dower. 5 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country, That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

Amen! so let it be.

O Father, 'tis Thy will. The promise of that faithful word E'en here to me fulfil. 6 Be Thou at my right hand, Then can I never fail. Uphold Thou me, and I shall stand; Fight Thou, and I'll prevail. 7 So when my dying breath Shall rend the veil in twain, By death I shall escape from death And life eternal gain. 8 Knowing as I am known, How shall I love that word And oft repeat before the throne, "Forever with the Lord!"

Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 4:9 Languages: English Tune Title: PAX CELESTE

The World Is Very Evil

Author: John M. Neale; Bernard of Morlas Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #605 (1941) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: The Last Things Judgment Lyrics: 1 The world is very evil, The times are waxing late: Be sober and keep vigil, The Judge is at the gate: The Judge that comes in mercy, The Judge that comes with might, To terminate the evil, To diadem the right. 2 Arise, arise, good Christian, Let right to wrong succeed; Let penitential sorrow To heav'nly gladness lead, To light that hath no evening, That knows no moon nor sun, The light so new and golden, The light that is but one. 3 O home of fadeless splendor, Of flow'rs that bear no thorn, Where they shall dwell as children, Who here as exiles mourn. Midst pow'r that knows no limit, Where knowledge has no bound, The beatific vision Shall glad the saints around. 4 Strive, man, to win that glory; Toil, man, to gain that light; Send hope before to grasp it Till hope be lost in sight. Exult, O dust and ashes, The Lord shall be thy part; His only, His forever, Thou shalt be and thou art. 5 O sweet and blessed country, The home of God's elect! O sweet and blessed country That eager hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father, And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

O sweet and blessed country That faithful hearts expect! Jesus, in mercy bring us To that dear land of rest, Who art, with God the Father And Spirit, ever blest. Amen.

Before His throne the Lamb will lead thee, On heav’nly pastures He will feed thee, Cast off thy burden, come with haste; Soon will the toil and strife be ended, The weary way which thou hast wended. Sweet is the rest which thou shalt taste. 2 The Father’s house has many a dwelling, And there will be a place for thee. With perfect love His heart is welling Who loved thee from eternity. His precious blood the Lamb hath given That thou might’st share the joys of heaven, And now He calleth far and near: "Ye weary souls, cease your repining, Come while for you My light is shining; Come, sweetest rest awaits you here!" 3 O come, come all, ye weak and weary, Ye souls bowed down with many a care; Arise and leave your dungeons dreary And listen to His promise fair: "Ye bore your burdens meek and lowly, I will fulfill My pledge most holy, I’ll be your Solace and your Rest. Ye are Mine own, I will requite you; Tho' sin and Satan seek to smite you, Rejoice! Your home is with the blest." 4 There rest and peace in endless measure Shall be ours thro' eternity; No grief, no care, shall mar our pleasure, And untold bliss our lot shall be. Oh, had we wings to hasten yonder-- No more o’er earthly ills to ponder-- To join the glad, triumphant band! Make haste, my soul, forget all sadness; For peace awaits thee, joy and gladness-- The perfect rest is nigh at hand. Amen. Scripture: Hebrews 4:9 Languages: English Tune Title: WIE WOHL IST MIR
