Oh What Amazing Horrors Seize
Author: Benjamin Beddome, 1717-1795 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Oh what amazing horrors seize Lyrics:
1 Oh what amazing horrors seize
The sinner at his death!
With what reluctance and despair,
He yields his parting breath.
2 He gives a groan, and straight is gone
Where woeful spirits dwell;
A victim to eternal wrath,
The quenchless flames of hell.
3 Some drops of this tremendous storm
Might fall at times before;
But now it bursts upon his head,
In one relentless shower.
4 Oh may I, ere it be too late,
To Jesus’ cross repair;
From thence derive a cheering hope,
And find salvation there.
5 Supported by His powerful grace
And sprinkled with His blood,
I’ll rest secure from every ill,
Nor dread an angry God.

Oh What Amazing Horrors Seize
The Castle Of The Human Heart
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The castle of the human heart
Strong in its native sin,
Is guarded well, in every part,
By him who dwells within.
2 For Satan there, in arms, resides,
And calls the place his own;
With care against assaults provides,
And rules, as on a throne.
3 Each traitor thought on him, as chief,
In blind obedience waits;
And pride, self-will, and unbelief,
Are posted at the gates.
4 Thus Satan for a season reigns,
And keeps his goods in peace;
The soul is pleased to wear his chains,
Nor wishes a release.
5 But Jesus, stronger far than he,
In His appointed hour
Appears, to set His people free
From the usurper’s power.
6 "This heart I bought with blood," He says,
"And now it shall be Mine."
His voice the strong one armed dismays,
He knows he must resign.
7 In spite of unbelief and pride,
And self, and Satan’s art;
The gates of brass fly open wide,
And Jesus wins the heart.
8 The rebel soul that once withstood
The Savior’s kindest call;
Rejoices now, by grace subdued,
To serve Him with her all. Used With Tune: CLAUDIUS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1
