Terrible thought! shall I alone
Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn-book #16 (1793) Meter: 8.6.8.6 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 every 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 heaven. Languages: English

Child of sin and sorrow
Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
Hymnal: Hymns of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States, as authorized by the General Convention #265 (1845) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Awakening and Inviting Submission Languages: English
Alas! and did my Savior bleed?
And am I born to die
Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #X (1791) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die?
To lay this body down?
And must my trembling spirit fly
Into a world unknown?
A land of deepest shade,
Unpierc'd by human thought?
The dreary regions of the dead,
Where all things are forgot.
2 Soon as from earth I go,
What will become of me?
Eternal happiness or woe
Must then my portion be!
Wak'd by the trumpet's sound,
I from my grave shall rise,
And see the Judge with glory crown'd,
And see the flaming skies!
3 How shall I leave my tomb!
With triumph or regret?
A fearful or a joyful doom,
A curse or blessing meet?
Will angel-bands convey
Their brother to the bar?
Or devils drag my soul away
To meet its sentence there!
4 Who can resolve the doubt
That tears my anxious breast?
Shall I be with the damn'd cast out,
Or number'd with the blest?
I must from God be driv'n,
Or with my Saviour dwell:
Must come at his command to heav'n,
Or else depart to hell.
5 O thou that wouldst not have
One wretched sinner die,
Who dy'dst thyself, my soul to save
From endless misery!
Shew me the way to shun
Thy dreadful wrath severe,
That when thou comest on thy throne,
I may with joy appear.
6 Thou art thyself the way,
Thyself in me reveal;
So shall I spend my life's short day
Obedient to thy will;
So shall I love my God,
Because he first lov'd me,
And praise thee in thy bright abode,
To all eternity. Languages: English
And am I born to die
And am I only born to die?
Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #XI (1791) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die?
And must I suddenly comply
With nature’s stern decree?
What after death for me remains?
Celestial joys, or hellish pains,
To all eternity.
2 How then ought I on earth to live,
While God prolongs the kind reprieve,
And props the house of clay,
My sole concern, my single care,
To watch, and tremble, and prepare
Against the fatal day!
3 No room for mirth or trifling here,
For worldly hope, or worldly fear,
If life so soon is gone;
If now the Judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
Th' inexorable throne!
4 No matter which my thoughts employ,
A moment’s misery or joy,
But Oh! when both shall end,
Where shall I find my destin'd place,
Shall I my everlasting days
With fiends or angels spend?
5 Nothing is worth a thought beneath;
But how I may escape the death
That never, never dies!
How make mine own election sure,
And when I fail on earth, secure
A mansion in the skies.
6 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray,
Be thou my guide, be thou my way
To glorious happiness!
Ah! write the pardon on my heart,
And whensoe’er I hence depart,
Let me depart in peace. Languages: English
And am I only born to die?
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy
Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #II (1791) 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;
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 Come, ye weary, heavy laden'd,
Bruis'd and mangled by the fall,
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all,
Not the righteous,
Sinners Jesus came to call.
5 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!"
Sinners, will not this suffice?
6 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.
7 Saints and angels join'd in concert,
Sing the praises of the Lamb,
While the blissful seats of heaven,
Sweetly echo with his name;
Hallelujah!
Sinners here may do the same. Languages: English
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy
He comes! he comes! the Judge severe
Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn Book #XIII (1791) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 He comes! he comes! the Judge severe
The seventh trumpet speaks him near;
His lightnings flash, his thunder's roll;
How welcome to the faithful soul!
2 From heav'n angelic voices sound,
See the Almighty Jesus crown'd!
Girt with omnipotence and grace
And glory decks the Saviour's face.
3 Descending on his azure throne,
He claims the kingdoms for his own;
The kingdoms all obey his word,
And hail him their triumphant Lord.
4 Shout all the people of the sky,
And all the saints of the Most High;
Our Lord, who now his right obtains,
For ever and for ever reigns. Languages: English
He comes! he comes! the Judge severe
