The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book ‎#658

658. O God, my inmost soul convert

1 O God, my inmost soul convert,
And deeply on my thoughtful heart
Eternal things impress;
Cause me to feel their solemn weight,
And tremble on the brink of fate.
And wake to righteousness.

2 Before me place in dread array
The pomp of that tremendous day
When thou with clouds shalt come
To judge the nations at thy bar;
And tell me, Lord, shall I be there,
To hear thy welcome home?

3 Be this my one great business here,
With serious industry and fear
Eternal bliss t'insure
Thy utmost counsel to fulfill,
And suffer all thy righteous will,
And to the end endure.

4 Then, Father, then my soul receive,
Transported from this vale, to live
And reign with thee above,
Where faith is sweetly lost in sight,
And hope in full, supreme delight,
And everlasting love.
