The Day of Judgment
Author: Anon. Hymnal: Laudes Domini #550 (1890) Topics: Judgment Day; Judgment Day First Line: Oh, there will be mourning Refrain First Line: Friends and kindred there will part Lyrics: 1 Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat,
When this world is burning,
Beneath Jehovah's feet!

Friends and kindred there will part.

Wrath will sink the rebel's heart,
While saints on high adore.
Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat.
2 Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat!
When the trumpet's warning
The sinner's ear shall greet! [Chorus]
3 Oh, there will be mourning
Before the judgment-seat!
When, from dust returning,
The lost their doom shall meet. [Chorus]
4 Oh, there will be mourning

Justice, ever frowning,
Shall seal the sinner's fate. [Chorus] Languages: English Tune Title: JUDGMENT SEAT
The Day of Judgment
Day of judgment! day of wonders!
Author: Newton Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #927 (1873) Topics: The Judgment Day Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment! day of wonders!
Hark! the trumpet's awful sound,
Louder than a thousand thunders,
Shakes the vast creation round!
How the summons
Will the sinner's heart confound!
2 See the Judge, our nature wearing,
Clothed in majesty divine!
You who long for his appearing
Then shall say, This God is mine.
Gracious Saviour!
Own me in that day for thine.
3 At his call, the dead awaken,
Rise to life from earth and sea;
All the powers of nature, shaken
By his looks, prepare to flee.
Careless sinner!
What then will become of thee?
4 But to those who have confessed,
Loved and served the Lord below,
He will say, Come near, ye blessed!
See the kingdom I bestow;
You for ever
Shall my love and glory know. Scripture: Psalm 96:13
Day of judgment! day of wonders!

Prepare to meet God

The end of things created!
The Judge of man I see 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 sound
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 man I see appear,
On clouds of glory seated:
Beneath his cross I view the day
When heaven and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet him. Languages: English Tune Title: JUDGMENT

Shakes the wide Earth, and cleaves the Tombs;
Before him burns devouring Fire;

Then lift your Heads, ye Saints, on high,
And sing, for your Redemption's nigh.

Christ reigning in Heaven, and coming to Judgment
The Judgment
Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander Hymnal: Laudes Domini #189 (1890) Topics: Judgment Day; Judgment Day First Line: He is coming, he is coming Lyrics: 1 He is coming, he is coming,
Not as once he came before,
Wailing infant, born in weakness
On a lowly stable floor:
But upon his cloud of glory,
In the crimson-tinted sky,
Where we see the golden sunrise
In the rosy distance lie.
2 He is coming, he is coming,
Not in pain, and shame, and woe,
With the thorn-crown on his forehead,
And the blood-drops trickling slow;
But with diadem upon him,
And the sceptre in his hand,
And the dead all ranged before him,
Raised from death, hell, sea, and land.
3 He is coming, he is coming,
Not as once he wandered through
All the hostile land of Judah,
With his followers poor and few:
But with all the holy angels
Waiting round his judgment-seat,
And the chosen twelve apostles
Sitting crowned at his feet.
4 He is coming, he is coming;
Let his lowly first estate,
And his tender love, so teach us
That in faith and hope we wait,
Till in glory eastward burning,
Our redemption draweth near;
And we see the sign in heaven
Of our Judge and Saviour dear. Languages: English Tune Title: FORMOSA
The Judgment
Confidence in Divine Justice
Hymnal: The Psalter #13 (1912) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Judgment Day First Line: Jehovah, my God, on Thy help I depend Lyrics: 1 Jehovah, my God, on Thy help I depend;
From all that pursue me O save and defend;
Lest they like a lion should rend me at will,
while no one is near me their raging to still.
2 When wronged without cause I have kindness returned;
But if I my neighbor maltreated and spurned,
My soul let the enemy seize for his prey,
My life and my honor in dust let him lay.
3 O Lord, in Thy wrath stay the rage of my foes;
Awake, and Thy judgment ordained interpose.
Let peoples surround Thee and wait at Thy feet,
While o'er them for judgment Thou takest Thy seat.
4 All nations of men shall be judged by the Lord;
To me, O Jehovah, just judgment accord,
As faithful and righteous in life I have been,
And ever integrity cherished within.
5 Establish the righteous, let evil depart,
For God Who is just tries the tho'ts of the heart.
In God for defense I have placed all my trust;
The upright He saves and He judges the just.
6 The Lord with the wicked is wroth every day,
And if they repent not is ready to slay;
By manifold ruin for others prepared
They surely at last shall themselves be ensnared.
7 Because He is righteous His praise I will sing,
Thanksgiving and honor to Him I will bring,
Will sing to the Lord on Whose grace I rely,
Extolling the Name of Jehovah Most High. Scripture: Psalm 7 Languages: English Tune Title: PAULINA

The last Judgment; or, The Saints rewarded
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #88b (1740) Topics: Judgment Day First Line: The Lord, the Judge, before his Throne Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the Judge, before his Throne
Bids the whole Earth draw nigh;
The Nations near the rising Sun,
And near the Western Sky.
2 No more shall bold Blasphemers say,
"Judgment will ne'er begin;"
No more abuse his long Delay
To Impudence and Sin.
3 Thron'd on a Cloud our GOD shall come,
Bright Flames prepare his Way;
Thunder and Darkness, Fire and Storm,
Lead on the dreadful Day.
4 Heav'n from above his Call shall hear,
Attending Angels come,
And Earth and Hell shall know and fear
His Justice and their Doom.
5 "But gather all my Saints," (he cries)
"That made their Peace with GOD
"By the Redeemer's Sacrifice,
"And seal'd it with his Blood.
6 "Their Faith and Works, brought forth to Light
"Shall make the World confess,
"My Sentence of Reward is right,
"And Heav'n adore my Grace." Scripture: Psalm 50:1-6 Languages: English
