Solemn Thought - Hymn Solo Guitar Remaster

Solemn Thought

O solemn thought, and can it be!

The hour of judgment now is come

Which must soon fix our destiny

And seal the sinner’s fearful doom

Yes it is the judgment hour

Swiftly hastening to its close

Then will the Judge in mighty power

Descend in vengeance upon His foes

He who came down to the earth to die

An offering for the sins of man

Then ascended up on high

And will anon return again

Oh He’s standing now before the ark of God

And mercy seat and cherubim

To plead His blood for sins and make

The last remembrance of our 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

Oh Jesus! We hope in Thee alone

In mercy now upon us look

Confess our names before your throne

And blot our sins from out thy book

Blessed Saviour may we feel

The full importance of this hour

Inspire our hearts with holy zeal

And aide 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

O solemn thought, and can it be!

The hour of judgment now is come

Which must soon 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 upon his foes

He who came down to the earth to die

An offering for the sins of man

Then ascended up on high

And will anon return again

Oh He’s standing now before the ark

And mercy seat and cherubim

To plead His blood for sins and make

The last remembrance of our 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 your throne

And blot our sins from out thy book

Blessed Saviour may we feel

The full importance of this hour

Inspire our hearts with holy zeal

And aide 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

The hour of judgment is come

About Us:

This world is a dry and weary land.

All around us are people dying for a drink of fresh, new life.

In the Bible, drought and famine were used as a symbol of the lack or withdrawal of God's blessing. 

Like the prodigal son and the lost sheep, we have all chosen to leave the safety and security of God's love and favor, enticed by our own lusts and the alluring but empty and deadly deceptions of the enemy of our souls.

We find ourselves lost, alone, broken, hungry, thirsty and on the brink of death.

But none have strayed so far that they cannot return. 

Jesus actively seeks and works to rescue every last one of His precious souls redeemed from destruction by the very high price of His spotless life and terrible death on their behalf.

As the world departs further and further from God, and you find yourself in a dark, lonely desert place longing for hope, faith, love and a future, remember that Jesus loves you.

Cry out to Him for help and surrender your life back to Him.

He promised He would take you back, always.

We pray the music ministry of The Rain refreshes your dry and weary soul, and opens your heart for the outpouring of God's Holy Spirit in these end times.

Love,
Nick and Lauren
