Now is the time, th'accepted hour
Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #230 (1828) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit Danger of the Holy Spirit's withdrawing his influence Lyrics: 1 Now is the time, th'accepted hour,
O sinners come away;
The Saviour's knocking at your door,
Arise without delay.
2 Oh! don't refuse to give him room,
Lest mercy should withdraw;
He'll then in robes of vengeance come
To execute his law.
3 Then where, poor mortals, will you be,
If destitute of grace,
When you your injur'd Judge shall see,
And stand before his face.
4 Oh! could you shun that dreadful sight,
How would you wish to fly
To the dark shades of endless night,
From that all-searching eye?
5 But death awak'd must all appear,
And you among them stand,
Before the great impartial bar
Arraign'd at Christ's left hand.
6 Let not these warnings be in vain,
But lend a list'ning ear;
Lest you should meet them all again,
When wrapt in keen despair.
Now is the time, th'accepted hour
Who shall against the Lord prevail?
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #230 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Danger and Misery of Sin Lyrics: 1 Who shall against the Lord prevail?
Or who presume to say,
"That righteous law, which God proclaims,
"I dare to disobey?"
2 Ten thousand actions ev'ry where
The impious language speak:
Yet pow'r omnipotent stands by,
Nor do its thunders break.
3 But O! the dreadful day draws near,
When God's avenging hand
Shall shew, if feeble mortals' breath,
Or God's own word shall stand.
4 My soul, with rev'rence prostrate fall,
Before the voice divine;
And all thine int'rest and thy pow'rs
To his command resign.
5 Let the vain of sons of Belial boast,
Their tongues and thoughts are free:
My noblest liberty I own,
When subject most to thee. Languages: English
Who shall against the Lord prevail?
Arise, my tend'rest thoughts, arise
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #231 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Danger and Misery of Sin Lyrics: 1 Arise, my tend'rest thoughts, arise;
To torrents melt my streaming eyes;
And thou, my heart, with anguish feel,
Those evils which thou canst not heal.
2 See human nature sunk in shame;
See scandal pour'd on Jesus' name;
The Father wounded through the Son;
The world abus'd, the soul undone.
3 My God! I feel the mournful scene;
My bowels yearn o'er dying men;
And fain my pity would reclaim,
And snatch the firebrands from the flame.
4 But feeble my compassion proves,
And can but weep, where most it loves;
Thy own all-saving arm employ,
And turn these drops of grief to joy. Languages: English
Arise, my tend'rest thoughts, arise
Evil effects of neglected education
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #233 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Danger and Misery of Sin First Line: Behold, O Israel's God Lyrics: 1 Behold, O Israel's God!
From thine exalted throne,
And view the dang'rous state of those
Thou call'st to be thy own.
2 The children of thy flock,
By early cov'nant thine,
See, how they pour their bleeding souls
On ev'ry idol's shrine!
3 To indolence and pride
What piteous victims made!
Crush'd in their parents' fond embrace,
And by their love betray'd.
4 By pleasure's polish'd dart
What numbers here are slain!
What numbers there for slaughter bound
In Mammon's golden chain!
5 O let thine arm awake
And dash the idols down:
O call the captives of their pow'r
Thy treasure and thy crown.
6 Thee let the fathers own,
And thee the sons adore;
Join'd to the Lord by solemn vows,
To be forgot no more! Languages: English
Evil effects of neglected education
The man is ever blest
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #234 (1814) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: The Danger and Misery of Sin Lyrics: 1 That man is ever blest,
Who shuns the sinners’ ways;
Amongst their councils never stands,
Nor takes a scorner's place;
2 But makes the law of God
His study and delight,
Amidst the labours of the day
And watches of the night.
3 He like a tree shall thrive,
With waters near the root.
Fresh as the leaf, his name shall live;
His works are heav'nly fruit.
4 Not so th' ungodly race,
They no such blessings find;
Their hopes shall flee like empty chaff
Before the driving wind.
5 How will they bear to stand
Before that judgment-seat,
Where all the saints at Christ's right hand
In full assembly meet?
6 He knows and he approves
The way the righteous go:
But sinners and their works shall meet
A dreadful overthrow. Languages: English
The man is ever blest
Lord, when iniquities abound
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #237 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Danger and Misery of Sin Lyrics: 1 Lord, when iniquities abound,
And growing crimes appear;
We view the deluge rising round,
With sorrow and with fear.
2 Yet, when its waves most fiercely beat,
And spread destruction wide;
Thy spirit can a standard raise
To stem the roaring tide.
3 May thy triumphant arm awake,
Thy sacred cause to plead;
And let the multitude confess,
That thou art God indeed.
4 O let thy grace dispose their hearts,
To bow before thy hand;
And let their stubborn necks be bent,
To own thy just command.
5 Our feeble souls do thou support;
In us thy pow'r display:
And multitudes shall strive in vain
To draw us from thy way. Languages: English
Lord, when iniquities abound
The Lord into his vineyard comes
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #238 (1814) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: The Danger and Misery of Sin Lyrics: 1 The Lord into his vineyard comes,
Our various fruit to see;
His eye, more piercing than the light,
Examines ev'ry tree.
2 Tremble ye sinners, at his frown,
If barren still ye stand;
And fear that keenly-wounding ax,
Which arms his awful hand.
3 Lord, we adore thy sparing love,
Thy long-expecting grace:
Else had we low in ruin fall'n,
And known no more our place.
4 Succeeding years thy patience waits;
Nor let it wait in vain:
But form in us abundant fruit,
And still this fruit maintain.
Languages: English
The Lord into his vineyard comes
Raise thoughtless sinner raise thine eye
Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and A Liturgy #239 (1814) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: The Danger and Misery of Sin Lyrics: 1 Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye;
Behold God's balance lifted high:
There shall his justice be display'd,
And there thy hope and life be weigh'd.
2 See in one scale his perfect law;
Mark with what force its precepts draw:
Would'st thou the awful test sustain,
Thy works how light! thy thoughts how vain!
3 Great God! exert thy pow'r to save;
Deep on the heart this truth engrave;
Disperse the mist from sinner's eyes,
And make the wretched triflers wise.
4 O let them seize the present day,
Nor risk salvation by delay;
And, while they tremble, let them flee,
And find their help, their life, in thee. Languages: English
Raise thoughtless sinner raise thine eye
Great God, what do I see and hear!
Author: Thomas Cotterill; Anon.; William B. Collyer Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #240 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear
On clouds of glory seated!
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contained before:
Prepare, my soul, to meet him.
2 The dead in Christ shall first arise,
At the last trumpet's sounding,
Caught up to meet him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding;
No gloomy fears their souls dismay;
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold his wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing:
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.
4 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear
On clouds of glory seated!
Beneath his cross I view the day
When heav'n and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet him.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN
