Author: J. A. Alexander Appears in 28 hymnals First Line: There is a line by us unseen Lyrics: 1 There is a line by us unseen, That crosses ev'ry path, The hidden boundary between, The hidden boundary between God's patience and his wrath. 2 O! where is this mysterious bourne By which our path is crossed, Beyond which God himself hath sworn, Beyond which God himself hath sworn That he who goes is lost? 3 How far may we go on in sin? How long will God forbear? Where does hope end? And where begin, Where does hope end? And where begin The confines of despair? 4 An answer from the skies is sent: "Ye that from God depart, While it is called today, repent, While it is called today, repent, And harden not your heart."

Erected high in heaven stands

Author: Anon. Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Erected high in heaven stands The tabernacle true; And Jesus there in mercy pleads For all the faithful few. 2 His blood he offers freely now For all who will receive, For all who to his truth will bow, And in his word believe. 3 The Jewish priesthood shadowed forth His ministration there, The cleansing of the inner court, His coming to prepare. 4 His work performed, he leaves the seat Of mercy, where is found The law of God, the ten commands, And comes with glory crowned. 5 He that is holy then shall be In holiness preserved, While sinners vainly strive to flee The wrath they've long deserved.
