Brother, hast thou wander'd far

Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brother, hast thou wander'd far From thy Father's happy home, With thyself and God at war? Turn thee, brother, homeward come. 2 Hast thou wasted all the powers God for noble uses gave? Squander'd life's most golden hours? Turn thee, brother; God can save. 3 He can heal thy bitterest wound, He thy gentlest prayer can hear; Seek Him, for he may be found; Call upon him; he is near. Used With Tune: PLEYEL

Like the years of His right hand, Like His own eternity. Amen. Topics: Worship Adoration and Praise Scripture: Psalm 100:5 Used With Tune: PLEYEL

Sinner, Art Thou Still Secure?

Author: John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 177 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sinner, art thou still secure? Wilt thou still refuse to pray? Can thy heart or hands endure In the Lord’s avenging day? 2. See, His mighty arm is bared! Awful terrors clothe His brow! For His judgment stand prepared, Thou must either break or bow. 3. At His presence nature shakes, Earth affrighted hastes to flee; Solid mountains melt like wax, What will then become of thee? 4. Who His advent may abide? You that glory in your shame, Will you find a place to hide When the world is wrapped in flame? 5. Then the rich, the great, the wise, Trembling, guilty, self condemned; Must behold the wrathful eyes Of the judge they once blasphemed: 6. Where are now their haughty looks? O, their horror and despair! When they see the opened books And their dreadful sentence hear! 7. Lord, prepare us by Thy grace, Soon we must resign our breath, And our souls be called to pass, Through the iron gate of death. 8. Let us now our day improve, Listen to the Gospel voice; Seek the things that are above; Scorn the world’s pretended joys. Used With Tune: PLEYEL'S HYMN Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)
