Another day, a day of grace
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #118 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Day of grace; Grace and glory day of Lyrics:
Another day, a day of grace
Is given us from on high;
The sun rejoicing runs his race
Of glory round the sky.
We love to hail him on the way,
With healing in his wings,
For every time he brings a day,
A day of grace he brings;--
Of grace to weary ones, who sleep
As homeless Jacob slept;
Of grace to penitents, who weep
As fallen Peter wept;--
120
Grace, such as humble Mary moved
To choose the better part,
Saul's slaughter-breathing zeal reproved,
And open'd Lydia's heart.
Such grace be ours, howe'er the past
Have well or ill been spent;
To-day,--since this may be our last,--
To-day let us repent.
Now young and old, now great and small,
Seek we our Saviour's face,
That we henceforth this day may call
A day indeed of grace.

Now is the day of grace
Life is the time to serve the Lord
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #297 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t'ensure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
2 Life is the hour that God has given
To ’scape from hell and fly to heaven;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
3 Then what my thoughts design to do,
My hands, with all your might pursue,
Since no device, nor work is found,
Nor faith, nor hope, beneath the ground.
4 There are no acts of pardon past
In the cold grave, to which we haste,
But darkness, death, and long despair
Reign in eternal silence there. Languages: English

Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #290 (1870) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of Lyrics: 1 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, draw near;
The waters of life are now flowing for thee!
No price is demanded, the Saviour is here,
Redemption is purchased, salvation is free.
2 Delay not, delay not; why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God?
A fountain is open'd, how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood?
3 Delay not, delay not; O sinner, to come,
For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day;
Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb;
Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away.
4 Delay not, delay not; the Spirit of grace,
Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night.

Life is the Time to serve the Lord
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXVIII (1766) Topics: Day of Grace and Time of Duty Lyrics: 1 Life is the Time to serve the Lord,
The Time t' insure the great Reward;
And while the Lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest Sinner may return.
[2 Life is the Hour that God has giv'n
To 'scape from Hell, and fly to Heav'n;
The Day of Grace, and Mortals may
Secure the Blessings of the Day.]
3 The Living know that they must die,
But all the Dead forgotten lie;
Their Mem'ry and their Sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.
[4 Their Hatred and their Love is lost,
Their Envy buried in the Dust;
They have no Share in all that's done
Beneath the Circuit of the Sun.]
5 Then what my Thoughts design to do,
My Hands with all your Might pursue,
Since no Device, nor Work is found,
Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground.
6 There are no Acts of Pardon past
In the cold Grave, to which we haste;
But Darkness, Death, and long Despair,
Reign in eternal Silence there.

I hear a voice that comes from far
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #280 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of Lyrics: 1 I hear a voice that comes from far,
From Calvary it sounds abroad;
It soothes my soul, and calms my fear;
It speaks of pardon bought with blood.
2 And is it true that many fly
The sound that bids my soul rejoice,
And rather choose in sin to die,
Than turn an ear to mercy’s voice?
3 Alas for those!the day is near
When mercy will be heard no more;
Then will they ask, in vain, to hear
The voice they would not hear before.
4 With such, I own, I once appear'd,
But now I know how great their loss;
For sweeter sounds were never heard
Than mercy utters from the cross.

I hear a voice that comes from far
There is a time, we know not when
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #295 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of Lyrics: 1 There is a time, we know not when,
A point, we know not where,
That marks the destiny of men
To glory or despair.
2 There is a line, by us unseen,
That crosses every path;
The hidden boundary between
God's patience and His wrath.
3 Oh, where is this mysterious bourn,
By which our path is cross'd?
Beyond which, God Himself hath sworn,
That he who goes is lost.
4 How far may we go on in sin?
How long will God forbear?
Where does hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair?
5 An answer from the skies is sent:
"Ye that from God depart,
While it is called to-day, repent
And harden not your heart." Languages: English
There is a time, we know not when
And am I only born to die?
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #296 (1870) Topics: Day of grace; Grace day of 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
The inexorable throne!
4 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.
5 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. Languages: English
And am I only born to die?

And stay not for the morrow's sun;
The longer wisdom you despise,
The harder is she to be won.
2 Oh, hasten, mercy to implore,
And stay not for the morrow's sun,
For fear thy season should be o'er
Before this evening's course be run.
3 Hasten, O sinner, to return,
And stay not for the morrow's sun,

Before the needful work is done.

Grace! 'tis a charming sound
The days and years of time are fled
Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #236 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Topics: Day of grace after Judgment Lyrics:
The days and years of time are fled,
Sun, moon, and stars have shone their last;
The earth and sea gave up their dead,
Then vanished at the archangel's blast;
All secret things have been reveal'd,
Judgment is pass'd, the sentence seal'd,
And man to all eternity
What he is now henceforth must be.
From Adam to his youngest heir,
Not one escaped the muster-roll,
Each, as if he alone were there,
Stood up, and won or lost his soul;
These from the Judge's presence go
Down into everlasting woe;
Vengeance hath barr'd the gates of hell,
The scenes within no tongue can tell.
But lo! far off the righteous pass
To glory from the King's right hand;
In silence, on the sea of glass,
Heaven's numbers without number stand,
While He who bore the cross lays down
His priestly robe and victor crown;
The mediatorial reign complete,
All things are put beneath His feet.
Then every eye in Him shall see,
(While thrones and powers before Him fall,)
The fulness of the Deity,
Where God Himself is all in all:
237
O how eternity will ring
With the first note the ransom'd sing!
While in that strain all voices blend,
Which once begun shall never end.
In that unutterable song,
Shall I employ immortal breath?
Or, with the wicked borne along,
For ever die "the second death?"
Jesus! my life, my light Thou art;
Thy word is in my month, my heart;
Lord, I believe,--my spirit save
From sinking lower than the grave.

Let waving fields lift high their voice.

With men of vanity and lies
The scoffer and the hypocrite
Are the abhorrence of mine eyes.
Amongst thy saints will I appear
With frauds well washed in innocence;
But when I stand before thy bar,
The blood of Christ is my defence.
I love thy habitation, Lord,
The temple where thine honors dwell;
There shall I hear thine holy word,
And there thy works of wonder tell.
Let not my soul be joined at last
With men of treachery and blood,
Since I my days on earth have passed
Among the saints, and near my God.

Who from sin restrains his feet,
He who will not stand with sinners,
He who shuns the scorners' seat.
2 Blest is he who makes the statutes
Of the Lord his chief delight,
In God's law, divinely perfect,
Meditating day and night.

By the flowing river's side,
Ever green of leaf and fruitful;
Thus shall all his works abide.

Shall be swept from off the land;
With the just they shall not gather,
Nor shall in the judgement stand.

For their way to Him is known;
But the way of evildoers
Shall by Him be overthrown. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English Tune Title: SARDIS

Now to the Lord, that makes us know
The wonders of his dying love,
Be humble honors paid below,
And strains of nobler praise above.
'Twas he that cleansed our foulest sins,
And washed us in his richest blood;
'Tis he that makes us priests and kings,
And brings us rebels near to God.
To Jesus, our atoning Priest,
To Jesus, our superior King,
Be everlasting power confessed,
And every tongue his glory sing.
Behold, on flying clouds he comes,
And every eye shall see him move;
Though with our sins we pierced him once,
Then he displays his pard'ning love.
The unbelieving world shall wail,
While we rejoice to see the day:
Come, Lord; nor let thy promise fail,
Nor let thy chariots long delay.
Scripture: Revelation 1:5-7 Languages: English

5 Delay not, delay not, why longer abuse
The love and compassion of Jesus, thy God?
A fountain is opened; how canst thou refuse
To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood?
To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood?
3 Delay not, delay not, O sinner, to come,
For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day;
Her voice is not heard in the shades of the tomb;
Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away.
Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away.
4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace,
Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight,
And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race,
To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night.
To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. Languages: English Tune Title: ADESTE FIDELES

he doth still my trust renew.
Me through change and chance he guideth,
only good and only true.
God unknown, he alone
calls my heart to be his own.
2 Human pride and earthly glory,
sword and crown betray his trust;
what with care and toil he buildeth,
tow'r and temple, fall to dust.
But God's power, hour by hour,
is my temple and my towe'r.
3 God's great goodness aye endureth,
deep his wisdom, passing thought:
splendour, light and life attend him,
beauty springeth out of naught.
Evermore, from his store
new-born worlds rise and adore.
4 Still from earth to God eternal
sacrifice of praise be done,
high above all praises praising
for the gift of Christ his Son.
Christ doth call one and all:
ye who follow shall not fall. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:21 Languages: English Tune Title: MICHAEL

Made us of dust, and formed us men;
And when like wand'ring sheep we strayed,
He brought us to his fold again,
He brought us to his fold again.

Our souls, and all our mortal frame;
What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to thy Name?
Almighty Maker, to thy Name?
4 We'll crowd thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heav'ns our voices raise;
And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise,
Shall fill thy courts with sounding praise.
5 Wide as the world is thy command,
Vast as eternity thy love;
Firm as a rock thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move,
When rolling years shall cease to move.
