Earth, with Its Dark and Dreadful Ills

Earth, with all its dark and dreadful ills, Recedes and fades away; Lift up your heads, ye heavenly hills, Ye gates of death, give way! 2. My soul is full of whispered song; My blindness is my sight; The shadows that I feared so long Are all alive with light. 3. The while my pulses faintly beat, My faith doth so abound; I feel grow firm beneath my feet The green immortal ground. 4. That faith to me a courage gives, Low as the grave to go; I know that my Redeemer lives— That I shall live, I know. 5. The palace walls I almost see Where dwells my Lord and king; O grave! where is thy victory? O death! where is thy sting? Used With Tune: SAWLEY

Author: Johann C. Rube; Sarah B. Findlater Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 The Lord shall come in dead of night, When all is stillness round; How happy they whose lamps are bright, Who hail the trumpet’s sound. 2 How blind and dead the world appears, How deep her slumbers are, Still dreaming that the day she fears Is distant and afar. 3 Who spends his day in holy toil, His talent used aright, That he may haste, with heavenly spoil, To meet his Lord that night? 4 Are you arousing from their sleep, The saints who dare to rest, And calling every one to keep A watch more true and blest? 5 Wake up! my heart and soul, anew, Let sleep no moment claim; But hourly watch, as if ye knew This night the Master came.

Author: Richard Mant Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 O Savior, awful was the word, In Patmos’ island lone, By Him in holy vision heard, Thy own belovèd John. 2 "Behold! I come, I come with speed: With Me is My reward; And then of every man the meed Shall with his work accord." 3 "Come then," from every faithful breast The Holy Spirit cries; And "Come!" in spotless raiment dressed, The Church, Thy bride, replies. 4 O blest are they, whose bosoms share The Spirit’s gifts serene: Blest who the bridal garment wear, That vesture white and clean. 5 Blest, who in Thy communion erst Have loved, O Christ, to dwell; Have freely drunk and slaked their thirst From Thy enlivening well. 6 And when at length Thy warnings show At hand the hour of doom, Can meekly answer, "Even so, Yea come, Lord Jesus, come!"

That He will not stand Amid the shadows dim To welcome with extended Hand All who keep tryst with Him? 4 Away with all unworthy thoughts! Prepare the way! Prepare! Jehovah Shammah thou hast sought? Be glad. The Lord is there. 5 Seek audience with the Lord of Love, Expect His face to see, And this in very truth shall prove A Peniel to Thee. 6 Let Faith extend her mantle wide, Enlarging her request, So shall His heart be satisfied Who loves to give the best. 7 Forecast His blessèd work of grace, Make straight His paths! Prepare! Low in the very dust thy place, We reach high blessing there. 8 What think ye? Lord, our thoughts would be Lofty and just and true:— Expectant, as we wait to see Thy wonders, old and new. 9 Thyself all loyal hearts confess Incomparably dear; Yet closer to each other press Because to Thee so near.
