Terrible thought! shall I alone

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #XVI (1791) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 Terrible thought! shall I alone, Who may be sav'd, shall I, Of all, alas! whom I have known Through sin for ever die. 2 While all my old companions dear, With whom I once did live, Joyful at God’s right hand appear, A blessing to receive. 3 Shall I amidst a ghastly band, Dragg'd to the judgment seat, Far on the left with horror stand, My fearful doom to meet? 4 While they enjoy their Saviour's love, Must I in torments dwell? And howl (while they sing hymns above) And blow the flames of hell. 5 Ah! no; I still may turn and live; For still his wrath delays; He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve, And offers me his grace. 6 I will accept his offers now, From ev'ry sin depart, Perform my oft repeated vow, And render him my heart. 7 I will improve what I receive, The grace through Jesus given; Sure if with God on earth I live, To live with God in heav'n.

Thee we adore, eternal name

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #VIII (1791) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 Thee we adore, eternal name, And humbly own to thee, How feeble is our mortal frame, What dying worms we be! 2 Our wasting lives grow shorter still, As days and months increase; And ev'ry beating pulse we tell, Leaves but the number less. 3 The year rolls round and steals away, The breath that first it gave: Whate'er we do, where'er we be, We're trav'ling to the grave. 4 Dangers stand thick through all the ground To push us to the tomb; And fierce diseases wait around, To hurry mortals home. 5 Great God! on what a slender thread Hang everlasting things! Th' eternal states of all the dead, Upon life's feeble strings! 6 Infinite joy, or endless woe, Attends on ev'ry breath; And yet how unconcern'd we go Upon the brink of death! 7 Waken, O Lord, our drowsy sense, To walk this dang'rous road; And if our souls are hurry'd hence, May they be found with God!

Thou God of glorious majesty

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #XVII (1791) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 Thou God of glorious majesty, To thee, against myself, to thee, A worm of earth, I cry: A half-awaken'd child of man, An heir of endless bliss or pain, A sinner born to die! 2 Lo! on a narrow neck of land, ’Twixt two unbounded seas I stand Secure, insensible; A point of time, a moment’s space, Removes me to that heav'nly place, Or shuts me up in hell. 3 O God, mine inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress; Give me to feel their solemn weight, And tremble on the brink of fate, And wake to righteousness. 4 Before me place in dread array The pomp of that tremendous day, When thou with clouds shalt come To judge the nations at thy bar; And tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom? 5 Be this my one great bus'ness here, With serious industry and fear Eternal bliss t'ensure; Thine utmost counsel to fulfil, And suffer all thy righteous will, And to the end endure. 6 Then, Saviour, then my soul receive, Transported from this vale, to live And reign with thee above; Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope in full, supreme delight, And everlasting love.

Thou Judge of quick and dead

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #XII (1791) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 Thou Judge of quick and dead, Before whose bar severe, With holy joy or guilty dread, We all shall soon appear; Our caution'd souls prepare For that tremendous day, And fill us now with watchful care, And stir us up to pray. 2 To pray and wait the hour, That awful hour unknown, When robed in majesty and pow'r, Thou shalt from heav'n come down; Th' immortal Son of Man, To judge the human race, With all thy Father's dazzling train, With all thy glorious grace. 3 To damp our earthly joys, T' increase our gracious fears, For ever let th' archangel's voice Be sounding in our ears The solemn midnight cry, "Ye dead, the Judge is come, "Arise, and meet him in the sky, "And meet your instant doom!" 4 O may we thus be found Obedient to his word, Attentive to the trumpet’s sound, And looking for our Lord! O may we thus insure A lot among the blest, And watch a moment, to secure An everlasting rest! Languages: English

When rising from the bed of death

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #IX (1791) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 When rising from the bed of death, O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I view my Maker face to face O how shall I appear! 2 If yet while pardon may be found, And mercy may be sought; My soul with inward horror shrinks, And trembles at the thought! 3 When thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclos'd, In majesty severe, And sit in judgment on my soul, O how shall I appear? 4 O may my broken contrite heart, Timely my sins lament, And early with repentant tears, Eternal woe prevent. 5 Behold the sorrows of my heart, Ere yet it be too late; And hear my Saviour’s dying groans, To give those sorrows weight. 6 For never shall my soul despair Her Pardon to secure, Who knows the only Son hath dy'd To make that pardon sure.

Not all th'angelic songs above Can render equal praise. Languages: English

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #I (1788) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing, My dear Redeemer's praise! The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of his grace! 2 My gracious Master, and my God, Assist me to proclaim, To spread through all the earth abroad, The honours of thy name. 3 Jesus, the name that charms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease; 'Tis music in the sinner's ears, 'Tis life, and health, and peace. 4 He breaks the Power of cancell'd sin, He sets the pris'ner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed me. 5 Look unto him, ye nations, own Your God, ye fallen race; Look, and be sav'd through faith alone, Be justify'd by grace! 6 See all your sins on Jesus laid; The Lamb of God was slain, His soul was once an off'ring made For every soul of man. 7 With me, your Chief ye then shall know, Shall feel your sins forgiv'n; Anticipate your heav'n below, And own that love is heav'n.

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #II (1788) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, Weak and wounded, sick and sore, Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity, love and pow'r; He is able, He is willing, doubt no more. 2 Now ye needy, come and welcome, God's free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, Every grace that brings you nigh; Without money, Come to Jesus Christ and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream, All the fitness he requires, Is to feel you need of him; This he gives you, 'Tis the Spirit's glimm'ring beam. 4 Agonizing in the garden, Lo! your Maker prostrate lies! On the bloody tree behold him! Hear him cry before he dies, "It is finish'd!" Sinner, will not this suffice? 5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascending, Pleads the merit of his blood; Venture on him, venture freely, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 6 Saints and angels join'd in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb; While the blissful seats of heaven, Sweetly echo with his mame; Hallelujah! Sinners here may do the same. Languages: English

Sinners, turn, why will ye die?

Hymnal: A Pocket hymn book, designed as a constant companion for the pious #IV (1788) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 Sinners! turn, why will ye die? God, your Maker, asks you why? God, who did your being give, Made you with himself to live: He the fatal cause demands, Asks the works of his own hands; Why, ye thankless creatures, why Will ye cross his love and die? 2 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God, your Saviour, asks you why? God, who did our souls retrieve, Dy'd himself, that you might live, Will you let him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, ye ransom'd sinners, why Will ye slight his grace, and die? 3 Sinners, turn, why will ye die? God the Spirit, asks you why? He, who all your lives hath strove, Woo'd you to embrace his love; Will you not the grace receive? Will you still refuse to live? Why, ye long-sought sinners, why Will you grieve your God, and die? 4 Dead, already dead within, Spiritually dead in sin, Dead to God, while here you breathe, Pant ye after second death? Will you still in sin remain, Greedy of eternal pain? O ye dying sinners, why, Why will you for ever die? Scripture: Ezekiel 18:31 Languages: English
