Sinners, the call obey
Author: C. Wesley Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 44 hymnals Topics: The Day of Vengeance Lyrics: 1 Sinners, the call obey--
The latest call of grace;
The day is come, the vengeful day
Of a devoted race:
Devils and men combine
To plague the faithless seed,
And phials full of wrath divine
Are bursting on your head.
2 Enter into the Rock,
Ye trembling slaves of sin--
The Rock of your salvation, struck
And cleft to take you in:
To shelter the distressed,
He did the cross endure;
Enter into the clefts, and rest
In Jesus' wounds secure. Scripture: Isaiah 2:21
Sinners, the call obey
Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day
Appears in 94 hymnals Topics: God's Vengeance Lyrics: 1 Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day,
To those that have no God,
When the poor Soul is forc'd away
To seek her last Abode.
2 In vain to Heav'n she lifts her Eyes,
But Guilt, a heavy Chain,
Still drags her downward from the Skies,
To Darkness, Fire and Pain.
3 Awake and mourn, ye Heirs of Hell,
Let stubborn Sinners fear;
You must be driv'n from Earth and dwell
A long For Ever there.
4 See how the Pit gapes wide for you,
And flashes in your Face;
And thou, my Soul, look downwards too,
And sing recov'ring Grace,
5 He is a God of sov'reign Grace,
That promis'd Heav'n to me;
And taught my Thoughts to soar above,
Where happy Spirits be.
6 Prepare me, Lord, for thy Right Hand,
Then come the joyful Day,
Come Death and some celestial Band,
To bear my Soul away.
Death! 'Tis a melancholy Day
Jesus, in thee our eyes behold
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 50 hymnals Topics: God his vengeance and compassion; Vengeance and compassion Lyrics:
Jesus, in thee our eyes behold
A thousand glories more,
Than the rich gems and polished gold
The sons of Aaron wore.
They first their own burnt-offerings brought,
To purge themselves from sin;
Thy life was pure without a spot,
And all thy nature clean.
[Fresh blood as constant as the day
Was on their altar spilt;
But thy one offering takes away
For ever all our guilt.]
[Their priesthood ran through several hands,
For mortal was their race;
Thy never-changing office stands
Eternal as thy days.]
[Once in the circuit of a year,
With blood, but not his own,
Aaron within the veil appears
Before the golden throne:
But Christ, by his own powerful blood,
Ascends above the skies,
And in the presence of our God
Shows his own sacrifice.]
Jesus, the King of glory, reigns
On Zion's heav'nly hill;
Looks like a lamb that has been slain,
And wears his priesthood still.
He ever lives to intercede
Before his Father's face:
Give him, my soul, thy cause to plead,
Nor doubt the Father's grace.
Scripture: Hebrews 7
Jesus, in thee our eyes behold
