O wherefore do the nations rage

Are blest indeed, and blest for aye.

O Lord, thou Judge of all the earth

Shall wicked men triumphant stand?
How long shall they afflict thy saints
And scorn thy wrath, thy dreadful hand?

Shall not he hear who formed the ear,
And judge, who reigneth, God most high?

From him all truth and knowledge flow;
The foolish thoughts of wicked men,
How vain they are the Lord doth know.

With chastening hand dost teach thy will,
For in the day when sinners fall
That man in peace abideth still.

My life had quickly passed away;
But when my foot had almost slipped,
O Lord, thy mercy was my stay.
7 Amid the doubts that fill my mind
Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me;
Can wickedness, though throned in might,
Have fellowship, O Lord, with thee?

Against the righteous join their power,
But to the Lord I flee for help,
He is my Refuge and my Tower.

Fourscore years the strong may stay,
Long the load of grief to carry,
Till at last we fly away.

Who can fear Thee as he ought?

And to wisdom turn our thought.

Let their children learn Thy praise.

We the people of His care;
With a shepherd's hand He feeds us
As His flock in pastures fair.

Let us hear His voice today,
Lest, if we our hearts should harden,
We should perish in the way;
Lest to us, so unbelieving,
He in judgment should declare:
Ye, so long my Spirit grieving,
Never in My rest can share. Scripture: Psalm 95 Languages: English Tune Title: LOVE DIVINE

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. Scripture: Amos 4:12 Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN

Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity joined with pow'r:
He is able,

He is willing; doubt no more.
2 Come, ye needy, come and welcome,
God's free bounty glorify;
True belief and true repentance,

Come to Jesus Christ and buy.
3 Come, ye weary, heavy laden,
Bruised and broken by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all:
Not the righteous,
Not the righteous,
Not the righteous–
Sinners Jesus came to call.
4 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness he requireth
Is to feel your need of him;
This he gives you,
This he gives you,
This he gives you;
'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.
5 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascended,
Pleads the merit of his blood;
Venture on him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude:
None but Jesus,
None but Jesus,
None but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good.
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 9:13 Languages: English Tune Title: CAERSALEM

A point, we know not where,
That marks the destiny of men
To glory or despair.
2 There is a line, by us unseen,
That crosses every path;
The hidden boundary between
God's patience and His wrath.
3 Oh, where is this mysterious bourn,
By which our path is cross'd?
Beyond which, God Himself hath sworn,
That he who goes is lost.
4 How far may we go on in sin?
How long will God forbear?
Where does hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair?
5 An answer from the skies is sent:
"Ye that from God depart,
While it is called to-day, repent
And harden not your heart." Languages: English
There is a time, we know not when
Behold a Stranger's at the door!

He gently knocks, has knocked before;
Hath waited long, is waiting still:
You treat no other friend so ill,
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 Oh lovely attitude! He stands
With melting heart and laden hands;
Oh, matchless kindness! and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes!
This matchless kindness to His foes!
3 But will He prove a friend indeed?
He will; the very Friend you need;
The friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He,
With garments dyed at Calvary,
With garments dyed at Calvary.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude divine;
Turn out His enemy and thine,
That soul-destroying monster, sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in,
And let the heavenly Stranger in.
5 Admit Him, ere His anger burn,
His feet departed ne'er return;
Admit Him, or the hour's at hand
You'll at His door rejected stand,
You'll at His door rejected stand.
Amen. Languages: English Tune Title: BACA
Behold a Stranger's at the door!
