Who shall against the Lord prevail?
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 6 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Judgment and Eternity Lyrics: 1 Who shall against the Lord prevail?
Or who presume to say,
"That righteous law, which God proclaims,
I dare to disobey?"
2 Ten thousand actions ev'ry where
The impious language speak:
Yet pow'r omnipotent stands by,
Nor do its thunders break.
3 But O! the dreadful day draws near,
When God's avenging hand
Shall shew, if feeble mortals' breath,
Or God's own word shall stand.
4 My soul, with rev'rence prostrate fall,
Before the voice divine;
And all thine int'rest and thy pow'rs
To his command resign.
5 Let the vain of sons of Belial boast,
Their tongues and thoughts are free:
My noblest liberty I own,
When subject most to thee.
Who shall against the Lord prevail?
Heaven alone can satisfy the Soul
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Judgment and Eternity First Line: From this world's joys and senseless mirth Lyrics: 1 From this world's joys and senseless mirth,
O come, my soul! in haste retire;
Assume the grandeur of thy birth,
And to thy native heav'n aspire.
2 'Tis heav'n alone can make thee bless'd,
Can ev'ry wish and want supply;
Thy joy, thy crown, thy endless rest,
Are all above the lofty sky.
3 Eternal mansions! bright array!
O blest exchange! transporting thought!
Free from th'approaches of decay,
Or the least shadow of a spot.
4 There shall mortality no more
Its wide extended empire boast;
Forgotten all its dreadful pow'r,
In life's unbounded ocean lost.
5 There dwells the sovereign Lord of all,
The God that all the worlds adore;
With whom is bliss that cannot pall,
And joys that last forever more.
Heaven alone can satisfy the Soul
Christ's Presence makes Death easy
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 422 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Death First Line: Why should we start and fear to die? Lyrics: 1 Why should we start or fear to die?
What timorous worms we mortals are!
Death is the gate of endless joy,
And yet we dread to enter there.
2 The pains, the groans, and dying strife,
Fright our approaching souls away:
Still we shrink back again to life,
Fond of our prison and our clay.
3 O, if my Lord would come and meet,
My soul should stretch her wings in haste,
Fly fearless through death's iron gate,
Nor feel the terrors as she past.
4 Jesus can make a dying bed
Feel soft as downy pillows are,
While on his breast I lean my head,
And breathe my life out sweetly there.
Christ's Presence makes Death easy
Victory over Death
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Death First Line: When death appears before my sight Lyrics: 1 When death appears before my sight,
In all his dire array;
Unequal to the dreadful fight,
My courage dies away.
2 How shall I meet this potent foe
Whose frown my soul alarms?
Dark horror sits upon his brow;
And vict'ry waits his arms.
3 But see my glorious Leader nigh!
Jesus, my Savior, lives:
Before him death's pale terrors fly,
And my faint heart revives.
4 O may I meet the final hour
With fortitude divine!
Sustain'd by his almighty pow'r,
The conquest must be mine.
5 Lord! I commit my soul to thee:
Accept the sacred trust;
Receive this nobler part of me,
And watch my sleeping dust.
6 O let me join angelic lays,
And, with the blissful throng,
Resound salvation, pow'r, and praise,
In everlasting song!
Victory over Death
Oh, where shall rest be found
Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 646 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Death Lyrics: 1 Oh, where shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary soul?
’Twere vain the ocean’s depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole.
2 The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh;
’Tis not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears,
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years--
And all that life is love.
4 There is a death whose pang
Outlasts the fleeting breath:
Oh! what eternal horrors hang
Around the second death!
5 Lord God of truth and grace!
Teach us that death to shun:--
Lest we be banished from thy face,
And evermore undone.
6 Here would we end our quest--
Alone are found in thee
The life of perfect love--the rest
Of immortality.
Oh, where shall rest be found
Death at hand
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 371 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Death First Line: Thee we adore, eternal Name! Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, eternal Name!
And humbly own to thee,
How feeble is our mortal frame,
What dying worms are we.
2 Our wasting lives are short'ning still,
As months and days increase;
And ev'ry beating pulse we tell
Leaves but the number less.
3 Dangers stand thick through all the ground,
To push us to the tomb;
And fierce diseases wait around,
To hurry mortals home.
4 Good God! on what a slender thread,
Hang everlasting things!
Th'eternal states of all the dead,
Upon life's feeble strings.
5 Yet while a world of joy or wo
Depends on ev'ry breath,
Thoughtless and unconcern'd we go
Upon the brink of death.
6 Waken, O Lord! our drowsy sense,
To walk this dang'rous road;
And if our souls are hurried hence,
May they be found with God!
Death at hand
When life's tempestuous storms are o'er
Appears in 35 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Death Lyrics: 1 When life's tempestuous storms are o'er,
How calm he meets the friendly shore,
Who liv'd averse from sin!
Such peace on virtue's path attends,
That, where the sinner's pleasure ends,
The Christian's joys begin.
2 See smiling patience smooth his brow!
See bending angels downwards bow,
To left his soul on high!
While, eager for the blest abode,
He joins with them to praise the God,
Who taught him how to die.
3 No sorrow drowns his lifted eyes;
No horror wrests the struggling sighs,
As from the sinner's breast:
His God, the God of peace and love,
Pours kindly solace from above,
And heals his soul with rest.
4 O grant, my Savior, and my Friend!
Such joys may gild my peaceful end,
So calm my ev'ning close;
While, loos'd from ev'ry earthly tie,
With steady confidence I fly
To thee from whom I rose!
When life's tempestuous storms are o'er
What sinners value, I resign
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 248 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Resurrection Lyrics: 1 What sinners value, I resign:
Lord! 'tis enough that thou art mine!
I shall behold thy blissful face,
And stand complete in righteousness.
2 This life's a dream, an empty show;
But the bright world, to which I go,
Hath joys substantial and sincere:
When shall I wake and find me there!
3 O glorious hour! O bless'd abode!
I shall be near and like my God;
And flesh and sin no more control
The sacred pleasures of the soul.
4 My flesh shall slumber in the ground,
Till the last trumpet's joyful sound;
Then burst the chains with sweet surprise,
And in my Savior's image rise.
What sinners value, I resign
Heav'n has confirm'd the great decree
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Judgment and Eternity Lyrics: 1 Heav'n has confirm'd the great decree
That Adam's race must die:
One gen'ral ruin sweeps them down,
And low in dust they lie.
2 Ye living men, the tomb survey,
Where you must quickly dwell.
Hark how the awful summons sounds
In ev'ry fun'ral knell!
3 Once you must die, and once for all;
The solemn purport weigh;
For know, that heav'n and hell are hung
On that important day.
4 Those eyes, so long in darkness veil'd,
Must wake the Judge to see;
And ev'ry word, and ev'ry thought
Must pass his scrutiny.
5 O may I in the Judge behold
My Savior and my Friend,
And far beyond the reach of death
With all his saints ascend!
Heav'n has confirm'd the great decree
The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 51 hymnals Topics: Consummation of Things Judgment and Eternity Lyrics: 1 The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns:
Let hypocrites attend and fear,
Who place their hope in rites and forms,
But make not faith nor love their care.
2 They dare rehearse his awful name
With lips of falsehood and deceit;
A friend or brother they defame,
And sooth and flatter those they hate.
3 They watch to do their neighbors wrong,
Yet dare to seek their Maker's face;
They take his cov'nant on their tongue,
But break his laws, abuse his grace.
4 And, while his judgments long delay,
They grow secure and sin the more;
They think he sleeps, as well as they,
And put far off the evil hour.
5 O dreadful hour, when God draws near,
And sets their crimes before their eyes!
Anguish their guilty souls shall tear,
And no deliv'rer dare to rise.
The Lord, the Judge, his churches warns
