Hymnal of the Protestant Episcopal Church: With Music

lu - jah,

Halle lujah, God ap- pears on earth to reign. A-men.

2 Every eye shall now behold him,
Robed in dreadful majesty;
Those who set at nought and sold him,
Pierced, and nail'd him to the tree,
Deeply wailing,

Shall the true Messiah see.

3 Every island, sea, and mountain,

Heaven and earth, shall flee away: All who hate him must, confounded, Hear the trump proclaim the day; Come to judgment, Come to judgment, come away.

4 Now redemption, long expected,
See in solemn pomp appear:
All his saints, by men rejected,
Now shall meet him in the air:
Hallelujah!

See the day of God appear.

5 Yea, Amen; let all adore thee,
High on thine eternal throne:
Saviour, take the power and glory;
Claim the kingdom for thine own.
O come quickly!

Hallelujah! Come, Lord, come!

1. Lo, he comes, with clouds descend-ing, Once for favour'd sinners slain

Thousand thousand saints at - tend - ing

Swell the tri-umph of his train;

Hal-le-lu - jah, Hal-le-lu - jah, God ap-pears on earth to reign. A-men.

1. The Lord will come: the earth shall quake, The hills their fix-ed seat for-sake;

FIRST TUNE.

L. M.

SHEPHERDS.

1. That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heav'n and earth shall pass away,

9:23

What power shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? A - men.

SECOND TUNE.

2 When, shrivelling like a parched scroll,
The flaming heavens together roll,
When louder yet, and yet more dread,
Swell the high trump that wakes the dead.

3 O! on that day, that wrathful day,
When man to judgment wakes from clay,
Be thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay,
Though heaven and earth shall pass away.

L. M.

SAXONY.

1. That day of wrath, that dreadful day, When heav'n and earth shall pass a-way,

What

shall be the sinner's stay? How shall he meet that dreadful day? A power

L. M. With Chorus.

HOSANNA.

1. Ho-san-na to the living Lord! Ho - san - na to th'in-car-nate Word!

To Christ, Creator, Saviour, King, Let earth, let heaven, Ho-san-na sing.

2 Hosanna, Lord! thine angels cry;
Hosanna, Lord! thy saints reply;
Above, beneath us, and around,
The dead and living swell the sound;
Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

3 O Saviour, with protecting care,

Return to this thy house of prayer:
Assembled in thy sacred name,

Where we thy parting promise claim:
Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

4 But, chiefest, in our cleansed breast,

Eternal! bid thy Spirit rest;

And make our secret soul to be

A temple pure, and worthy thee.

Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

5 So in the last and dreadful day,

When earth and heaven shall melt away,
Thy flock, redeemed from sinful stain,
Shall swell the sound of praise again.
Hosanna, Lord! Hosanna in the highest!

19:

Up! pray, and watch, and wrestle! At mid-night comes the cry.

2 See that your lamps are burning,
Replenish them with oil;
Look now for your salvation,
The end of sin and toil.
The watchers on the mountain
Proclaim the Bridegroom near,
Go meet him as he cometh,
With hallelujahs clear.

3 O wise and holy virgins,

Now raise your voices higher,
Till, in your jubilations
Yo meet the angel choir.

The marriage-feast is waiting, The gates wide open stand; Up, up, ye heirs of glory!

A-men.

The Bridegroom is at hand. 4 Our hope and expectation, O Jesu, now appear; Arise, thou Sun so longed for, O'er this benighted sphere! With hearts and hands uplifted, We plead, O Lord, to see The day of earth's redemption, And ever be with thee!
