O quickly come, dread Judge of all
Author: Lawrence Tuttiett Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 82 hymnals Topics: Blessed Hope; Christ, The Lord Jesus; Christ Kingly Office of; Christ Second Coming and Judgment of; Death Conquered; Unity of Believers Lyrics: 1 O quickly come, dread Judge of all;
For, awful though thine advent be,
All shadows from the truth will fall,
And falsehood die, in sight of thee:
O quickly come; for doubt and fear
Like clouds dissolve when thou art near.
2 O quickly come, great King of all;
Reign all around us, and within;
Let sin no more our souls enthral,
Let pain and sorrow die with sin:
O quickly come; for thou alone
Canst make thy scattered people one.
3 O quickly come, true Life of all;
For death is mighty all around;
On ev'ry home his shadows fall,
On ev'ry heart his mark is found:
O quickly come; for grief and pain
Can never cloud thy glorious reign.
4 O quickly come, sure Light of all;
For gloomy night broods o'er our way;
And weakly souls begin to fall
With weary watching for the day:
O quickly come; for round thy throne
No eye is blind, no night is known.

Though heaven and earth shall pass away. Used With Tune: ST. CROSS

With what religious fear!
Who such a strict account must give
For my behavior here!

Thy watchful power bestow;
So shall I to my ways take heed,
To all I speak or do.

When on my day of life the night is falling
Death made desirable
Author: Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: Death and Judgment First Line: Jesus! the vision of Thy face
Death made desirable
And am I only born to die?
Meter: Irregular Appears in 124 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die?
And must I suddenly comply
With nature’s stern decree?
What after death for me remains?
Celestial joys, or hellish pains,
To all eternity?
2 How then ought I on earth to live,
While God prolongs the kind reprieve,
And props the house of clay;
My sole concern, my single care,
To watch, and tremble, and prepare
Against the fatal day!
3 No room for mirth or trifling here,
For worldly hope, or worldly fear,
If life so soon is gone;
If now the Judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
Th'inexorable throne!
4 No matter which my thoughts employ;
A moment’s misery, or joy;
But oh! when both shall end,
Where shall I find my destin'd place?
Shall I my everlasting days
With fiends or angels spend?
5 Nothing is worth a thought beneath
But how I may escape the death
That never, never dies!
How make mine own election sure;
And when I fail on earth, secure
A mansion in the skies.
6 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray,
Be thou my guide, be thou my way
To glorious happiness!
Ah! write the pardon on my heart!
And whensoe’er I hence depart,
Let me depart in peace.
And am I only born to die?
