Are there few that shall be saved?

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:23 First Line: Destruction's dangerous road Lyrics: 1 Destruction's dangerous road What multitudes pursue! While that which leads the soul to God, Is know or sought by few. 2 Believes find the way Thro' Christ the living gate; But those who hate this holy way Complain it is too strait. 3 If self must be deny'd, And sin no more caress'd, They rather choose the way that's wide, And strive to think it best. 4 Encompass'd by a throng, On numbers they depend; They say so many can't be wrong, And miss a happy end. 5 But hear the Saviour's word, "Strive for the heavn'ly gate, many will call upon the Lord, And find their crys too late." 6 Obey the gospel call And enter while you may; The flock of Christ is always small, And none are safe but they. 7 Lord, open sinners' eyes, Their awful state to see; And make them, ere the storm arise, To thee for safety flee.

See th'Eternal Judge descending

Meter: Irregular Appears in 142 hymnals Scripture: Luke 13:28 Lyrics: 1 See th'eternal Judge descending-- View him seated on his throne! Now, poor sinner, now lamenting, Stand and hear thy awful doom-- Trumpets call thee! Stand and hear thy awful doom. 2 Hear the cries he now is venting, Fill'd with dread of fiercer pain; While in anguish thus lamenting, That he ne'er was born again, Greatly mourning That he ne'er was born again. 3 "Yonder sits my slighted Saviour, With the marks of dying love; Oh, that I had sought his favour, When I felt his Spirit move-- Golden moments, When I felt his Spirit move." 4 Now, despisers, look and wonder! Hope and sinners here must part, Louder than a peal of thunder, Hear the dreadful sound, "Depart!" Lost for ever, Hear the dreadful sound, "Depart!" Topics: Judgment
