God, your Maker, asks you why; God, who did your being give, Made you with Himself to live: 2 Sinners turn; why will you die? God, your Savior, asks you why: God, who did your souls retrieve, Died Himself that you might live. 3 Will you let Him die in vain? Crucify your Lord again? Why, you ransomed sinners, why Will you slight His grace, and die? 4 Sinners turn; why will you die? God, the Spirit, asks you why; He Who all your lives has striv'n, To direct your souls to heaven. 5 Will ye not His grace receive? Will ye still refuse to live? O you long-sought sinners, why Will you grieve your God and die? Used With Tune: PLEYEL'S HYMN

Heavenward doth our journey tend

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: Christian Life and Hope Lyrics: 1 Heavenward doth our journey tend, Here on earth we are but strangers, Towards our promised Land we wend, Through a wilderness of dangers; Here we roam a pilgrim-band, Yonder is our native land. 2 Heavenward stretch, my soul, thy wings, Thou canst claim a heavenly nature; Cleave not to these earthly things, Thou canst rest not in the creature. Every soul that God inspires, Back to Him, its Source, aspires. 3 Heavenward! doth His Spirit cry, Oft as in His word I hear Him; Pointing to the rest on high Where I shall be ever near Him. When His Word fills all my thought, Oft to heaven my soul is caught. 4 Heavenward still I long to haste, When Thy Supper, Lord, is given; Heavenly strength on earth I taste, Feeding on the Bread of Heaven; Such is e'en on earth our fare, Who Thy marriage feast will share. 5 Heavenward! To that blessed home Death at last will surely lead me; All my trials overcome, Christ with life and joy will feed me; Who Himself hath gone before That we too might heavenward soar. 6 Heavenward! This shall be my cry While a pilgrim here I wander, Passing earth's allurements by For the love of what is yonder; Heavenward all my being tends, Till in Heaven my journey ends.

Sweet fields arrayed in living green, And rivers of delight! 3 O'er all those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God, the Sun, forever reigns, And scatters night away. 4 No chilling winds, no pois'nous breath, Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness and sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. 5 When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When shall I see my Father's face, And in His bosom rest? Used With Tune: HEBER
