How Great, How Terrible That God

Author: Samuel Davies, 1723-1761 Appears in 65 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 How great, how terrible that God, Who shakes creation with His nod! He frowns—earth, sea, all nature’s frame, Sink in one universal flame. 2 Where now, O where shall sinners seek For shelter in the general wreck? Shall falling rocks be o’er them thrown? See rocks, like snow, dissolving down! 3 In vain for mercy now they cry; In lakes of liquid fire they lie; There on the flaming billows tossed, For ever—O, for ever lost! 4 But saints, undaunted and serene, Your eyes shall view the dreadful scene; Your Savior lives, the worlds expire; And earth and skies dissolve in fire. 5 Jesus, the helpless creature’s friend, To Thee my all I dare commend; Thou canst preserve my feeble soul, When lightnings blaze from pole to pole.

The Day, The Solemn Day Shall Come

Author: John Needham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The day, the solemn day shall come, The long delayéd day of doom; The hour when God shall awful rise, And fears a guilty world surprise. 2 Heaven’s greatest light, the glorious sun, No more his wonted course shall run; No more divide the varied year, Obliged to quit his lofty sphere. 3 The moon, and stars extinguished quite, No more shall rule the silent night; Nor silver planets longer run In dance harmonious round the sun. 4 No sooner shall th’Almighty call But flames shall seize this earthly ball; And heaven’s high frame without delay With hideous crash shall pass away. 5 Their seats the frighted mountains quit, The shrinking seas their shores forget; In rapid streams of mingled fire The shifting elements expire. 6 These awful scenes my soul bring near, For this tremendous day prepare; How just, how holy must thou be If thou with joy this day wouldst see?

In Pity To A Dying World

Author: William H. Bathurst Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 In pity to a dying world, Almighty Father, send Thy grace; And let Thy banner be unfurled, And faith’s slow triumph speed its pace. 2 What millions of immortal souls Still live unmindful of Thy sway! And as death’s fearful torrent rolls, Hundreds are daily swept away. 3 O Lord, must creatures be undone Who from Thy hand receive their breath? Shall they be lost, for whom Thy Son Came down to suffer shame and death? 4 Let sovereign mercy interpose To rescue sinners from their doom; And send Thy word to heal their woes, And light their passage to the tomb. 5 O spread Thy truth through every clime, Teach stubborn souls to weep and pray; Let this be the accepted time, And this salvation’s glorious day.

"No God For Me!" The Fool Exclaims

Author: Henry F. Lyte Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 "No God for me!" the fool exclaims, And half believes the wish he frames. ’Twere well there was no God for them, Whom God exists but to condemn. 2 Plunged in the desperate depths of sin, Debased without, corrupt within, What wonder men should wish to fly An awful omnipresent eye? 3 Yet Jesus from His throne above Holds out the scepter of His love, And offers peace to them, to all That contrite at His feet will fall. 4 Rise, Sun of righteousness, and fling A brighter morning from Thy wing; The mourner cheer, the captive free, And win Thy wanderers all to Thee.

Banished from Heav’n, and doomed to dwell Deep in the fiery gloom of hell! 2 Ye heav’ns with all your hosts, rejoice: Ye saints, in consort lend your voice; Approach your Lord’s victorious seat, And tread the foe beneath your feet. 3 But whence a conquest so divine Gained by such feeble hands as mine? Or whence can sinful mortals boast O’er Satan and his rebel host? 4 ’Twas from Thy blood, Thou slaughtered lamb, That all our palms and triumphs came; The cross, thy spear inflicts the stroke, By which the monster’s head is broke. 5 Thy faithful Word our hope maintains Through all our combat and our pains; The accents of Thy heav’nly breath Thy soldiers bear through wounds and death. 6 Triumphant Lamb, in worlds unknown, With transport round Thy radiant throne, Thy happy legions, all complete, Shall lay their laurels at Thy feet.
