Christ her Sun,V all sloth dispelling,VShines upon the morning skies.

Lo, the Lamb so long expected [heaven;Comes with pardon down from

p Let us haste with tears of sorrow, VOne and all to be forgiven.

/ So when next He comes with glory,VWrapping all the earth in fear,y

MaJ' He then,*/ as our defender.On the clouds of heaven appear.

tm t)ap of Wratl),

That day of wrath,V that dreadful day, Vc?'. When louder yet,Vand yet more dread,VWlien heaven and earth shall pass away,V / The trumpet sounds that wakes the dead.What ])ower shall be the sinner's stayVVHow sjiall he meet that awful day 1 pO on that day,V that wrathful day.V

cr. When man to judgment wakes from olay,Vm/ When shriv'lling like a parchM scroll,V tr. Be Thou, O Christ, the sinner's stay,V

The flaming heav'ns together roll ; V / Though heaven and earth shall pass away.

Dap oT WratI),Plain Chant.

/ Day of wrath, that day dismaying,VEarth shall melt in ashes laying,/

Seer and Sibyl thus foresaying.

Oh ! the dread of that awaking.V

/ When the dead, their tombs forsaking,V

Meet the Judge, strict inquest making.

When the wondrous trumpet swelling V

Rings thro' death's sepulchral dwelling,V

All before the throne compelling.

Lo, the Judge in session seated—7

Now sliall sliine forth deeds secreted.V

Justice stern lo each be meted.

2^ What shall be a sinner's pleading ?\/

p Once in royal David's city V

Stood a lowly cattle slied,V

Where a mother laid her baby V

In a manger for His bed ; V

Mary was that mother mild. V

p Jesus Christ, V her little child,

p He came down to earth from heaven,V

Who is God and Lord of all ; V

And His shelter was a stable,V

And His cradle was a stall. V [lowly,

With the poor,V and mean, and

Lived on earth V our Saviour holy.

For He is our childhood's pattern,V

Day by day like us He grew ; VHe was little, V weak and helpless,V

Tears and smiles V like us He knew.VAnd He feeleth for our sadnes3,V

And He shareth in our gladness.

mf And our eyes at last shall see Him,V

Through His own redeeming love ; VFor that Child so dear and gentle V

Is our Lord in heaven above : V

/ And He leads His children on 7To the home where He is gone.

mp And thro' all His wondrous childhood V ^p Not in that poor lowly stable,V

With the oxen standing bj%VHe would honour and obey,V

Love and watch the lowly Maiden,V

In whose gentle arms He lay.V

Christian chilren all must be

Mild, obedient,V good as He.

We shall see Him ; V but in Heaven,Set at God's right hand on high.V

/ When like stars His children

crowned,V

All in white shall wait around.

The church's one foundation VIs Jesus Christ our Lord ; V

She is his new creation VBy water and tlie Word : V

From Heaven He came and sought herTo be His holy Bride ; V

With His own Blood He bought her, VAnd for her life He died.

Elect from every nation, VYet one o'er all the earth, V

Her charter of salvation VOne Lord,Vone Faith,Vone Birth, V

One Holy Name she blesses, VPartakes one Holy Food. V

And to one hope she presses VWith every grace endued.

p 'Mid toil and tribulation, VAnd tumult of her war, V

She waits the oonsmnmation VOf peace for evermore ; V

er. Till with the vision glorious VHer longing eyes are blest, V

/ And the great church victorious V

Shall be the Church at rest.

/ Yet she on earth hath union VWith God the Three in One.V

f And mystic sweet communion VWith those whose rest is won : V

cr. O happy ones and lioly ! VLord, give us grace tliat we, V

/ Like them the meek and lowly, VOn high may dwell with Thee.
