All ye who laugh and sport with death

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 All ye who laugh and sport with death, And say, there is no hell; The gasp of your expiring breath Will send you there to dwell. 2 When iron slumbers bind your flesh, With strange surprise you'll find Immortal vigour springs afresh, And tortures wake the mind! 3 Then you'll confess the frightful names Of plagues, you scorn'd before, No more shall look like idle drams, Like foolish tales no more. 4 Then shall ye curse that fatal day, With flames upon your tongues, When you exchang'd your souls away For vanity and songs.

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 I saw, beyond the tomb, The awful Judge appear, Prepar'd to scan with strict account, My blessings wasted here. 2 His wrath like flaming fire, Burn'd to the lowest hell-- And in that hopeless world of wo, He bade my spirit dwell. 3 Ye sinners, fear the Lord, While yet 'tis call'd today; Soon will the awful voice of death Command your souls away. 4 Soon will the harvest close-- The summer soon be o'er-- And soon, your injur'd, angry God Will hear your prayers no more. Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20

When frowning death appears

Meter: Irregular Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 When frowning death appears, And points his fatal dart, What dark foreboding fears Distract the sinner's heart! The dreadful blow No arm can stay, But torn away He sinks to wo. 2 Now every hope denied, Bereft of every good, He must the wrath abide Of an avenging God; No mercy there Will greet his ear Nor wipe the tear Of black despair. 3 Sinners, awake, attend, And flee the wrath to come; Make Christ, the Judge, your friend, And heav'n shall be your home: His mercy nigh, Now points the path That leads from death To joys on high. Scripture: Romans 3:16

Meter: Irregular Appears in 181 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Sinner, art thou still secure? Wilt thou still refuse to pray? Can thy heart or hands endure In the Lord's avenging day? 2 See, his mighty arm is bar'd! Awful terrors clothe his brow! For his judgment stand prepar'd, Thou must either break or bow. 3 At his presence nature shakes, Earth affrighted hastes to flee; Solid mountains melt like wax, What will then become of thee? 4 Who his advent may abide? You that glory in your shame, Will you find a place to hide, When the world is wrapped in flame? 5 Lord, prepare us by thy grace! Soon we must resign our breath, And our souls be call'd to pass Through the iron gate of death. 6 Let us now our day improve, Listen to the gospel voice: Seek the things that are above; Scorn the world's pretended joys.

Stop, poor sinners, stop and think

Meter: Irregular Appears in 249 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Stop, poor sinners, stop and think, Before you farther go; Will you sport upon the brink Of everlasting wo! On the verge of ruin stop-- Now the friendly warning take-- Stay your footsteps--ere ye drop Into the burning lake. 2 Say, have you an arm like God, That you his will oppose? Fear ye not that iron rod With which he breaks his foes? Can you stand in that dread day, Which his justice shall proclaim, And the earth shall melt away Like wax before the flame? 3 Ghastly death will quickly come. And drag you to his bar; Then to hear your awful doom, Will fill you with despair! All your sins will round you crowd; You shall mark their crimson dye; Each for vengeance crying loud, And what can you reply? 4 Tho' your heart were made of steel, Your forehead lin'd with brass; God at length will make you feel, He will not let you pass; Sinners, then in vain will call, Those who now despise his grace, "Rocks and mountains on us fall, And hide us from his face."

Can you in frightful torments dwell, Shut up in black despair? 4 Bow to the sceptre of his word, Renouncing ev'ry sin; Submit to him your sov'reign Lord, And learn his will divine.

Why will ye lavish out your years

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Why will ye lavish out your years Amidst a thousand trifling cares? While, in the various range of thought, The one thing needful is forgot. 2 Why will ye chase the fleeting wind, And famish an immortal mind; While angels with regret look down, To see you spurn a heav'nly crown? 3 Th'eternal God calls from above, And Jesus pleads his dying love; Awaken'd conscience gives you pain: And shall they join their please in vain? 4 Not so your dying eyes shall view Those objects, which ye now pursue. Not so shall heav'n and hell appear, When the decisive hour is near. 5 Almighty God! thine aid impart, To fix conviction on the heart. Thy pow'r can clear the darkest eyes, And make the haughtiest scorner wise.

Ye sons of Adam, vain and young
