417 O Solemn Thought
[1]
O solemn thought and can it be
The hour of judgment now is come
Which soon must fix our destiny
And seal the sinner s fearful doom?
Yes it is so; the judgment hour
Is swiftly hastening to its close;
Then will the Judge in mighty power
Descend in vengeance on His foes.

He who came down to earth to die
An offering for the sins of men
And then ascended upon on high
And will e er long return again
Is standing now before the ark
And mercy seat and cherubim
To plead His blood for saints and make
The last remembrance of their sin.

The solemn moment is at hand
When we who have His name confessed
Each in his lot must singly stand
And pass the final searching test.
Jesus! we hope in Thee alone;
In mercy now upon us look
Confess our names before the throne
And blot our sins from out Thy book.

O blessed Savior! may we feel
The full importance of this hour.
Inspire our hearts with holy zeal
And aid us by Thy Spirit s power
That we may in Thy strength be strong
And brave the conflict valiantly;
Then on Mount Zion join the song
And swell the notes of victory.
