A time to watch, a time to pray

Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 A time to watch, a time to pray, a day of wonders is today: the saddest, yet the gladdest too, that earth or heaven ever knew. 2 The saddest, for our Saviour bore his death, that we might die no more: the agony, the scourge, the fear, the crown of thorns, the cross, the spear. 3 And yet the gladdest, for today our load of sin was borne away: and hopes of joy that never dies hang on our Saviour's sacrifice. 4 O Saviour, how we bless your name! Yours is the glory, ours the shame; by all the pain your love endured let all our many sins be cured.

Behold, There Comes An Hour Unknown

Author: Horace L. Hastings Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Behold, there comes an hour unknown, When high upon His burning throne, The Lord, who died for sinful men, To judge the world shall come again. 2 Obedient to His high command, From every nation, tribe and land, The gathered sons of Adam meet Around that awful judgment seat. 3 Behold the Judge! that brow of flame Once wore the thorns and bore the shame; His blood a Roman cross once dyed— That Judge for me was crucified. 4 The voice of blasphemy is dumb, The sinner’s day of fear has come! The traitor’s kiss, the scorner’s sneer Are known no more: the Judge is here. 5 Ah, see the myriad throngs divide! To right and left they turn aside— What wailing bursts from every heart Which hears the awful word, "Depart!" 6 But lo! a fair immortal throng Breaks forth in strains of endless song, To hear the words, "Ye blessed come! Receive your kingdom and your home." 7 Oh, sinner, you that Judge must meet, And face that awful judgment seat; Repent, and give Him now your heart Ere you shall hear His word, "Depart."
