"Christ is near," we hear it say. "Cast away the works of darkness, All you children of the day!" 2 Startled at the solemn warning, Let the earth-bound soul arise; Christ, its sun, all sloth dispelling, Shines upon the morning skies. 3 See, the Lamb, so long expected, Comes with pardon down from heav'n. Let us haste, with tears of sorrow, One and all, to be forgiv'n: 4 So, when next He comes in glory And the world is wrapped in fear, He will shield us with His mercy And with words of love draw near. 5 Honor, glory, might, dominion to the Father and the Son With the ever-living Spirit While eternal ages run!

Mighty God, while angels bless Thee

Author: Robert Robinson Meter: 8.7 Appears in 286 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Mighty God, while angels bless Thee, May a mortal lisp Thy Name? Lord of men, as well as angels, Thou art every creature’s theme. 2 Lord of every land and nation, Ancient of eternal days! Sounded through the wide creation Be Thy just and lawful praise. 3 For the grandeur of Thy nature. Grand beyond a seraph’s thought; For created works of power, Works with skill and kindness wrought: 4 For Thy Providence, that governs Through thine empire's wide domain, Wings an angel, guides a sparrow: Blessed by Thy gentle reign. 5 But Thy rich, Thy free Redemption, Dark through brightness all along-- Thought is poor, and poor expression: Who dare sing that awful song! 6 From the highest throne in glory To the Cross of deepest woe! All to ransom guilty captives! Flow, my praise, for ever flow. Topics: Worship Praise and Thanksgiving Used With Tune: MERTON
