The tolling Bell

Hymnal: A Collection of Hymns and Prayers, for Public and Private Worship #365 (1845) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Oft as the bell, with solemn toll Lyrics: 1 Oft as the bell, with solemn toll, Speaks the departure of a soul, Let each one ask himself, "Am I Prepar'd, should I be called to die?" 2 Only this frail and fleeting breath Preserves me from the jaws of death; Soon as it fails, at once I'm gone, And plung'd into a world unknown. 3 Then leaving all I lov'd below, To God's tribunal I must go; Must hear the Judge pronounce my fate, And fix my everlasting state. 4 Lord Jesus! help me now to flee, And seek my hope alone in thee; Apply thy blood, thy Spirit give, Subdue my sin, and let me live. 5 Then when the solemn bell I hear, If sav'd from guilt, I need not fear; Now would the thought distressing be, Perhaps it next may toll for me.
