Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: How dreadful is the sinner’s fate Lyrics: 1 How dreadful is the sinner’s fate,
Who wakes, to sleep no more,
Who knocks and calls, alas, too late,
When death hath shut the door.
2 But we who now Thy grace implore,
Shall now admitted be,
For if Thy justice shuts the door,
Thy mercy keeps the key. Used With Tune: MARTYRDOM Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scriptures (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762)
