And am I only born to die?

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn-book #11 (1793) 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 that 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

Thou Judge of quick and dead

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn-book #12 (1793) Meter: 6.6.8.6 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 all be found Obedient to his word, Attentive to the trumpet’s sound, And looking for our Lord! O may we thus ensure A lot among the blest, And watch a moment, to secure An everlasting rest! Languages: English

Lo! he comes with clouds descending

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn-book #14 (1793) Topics: Awakening and Inviting Lyrics: 1 Lo! he comes with clouds descending, Once for favour'd sinners slain! Thousand, thousand saints attending, Swell the triumph of his train. Hallelujah! God appears with man to reign. 2 Ev'ry eye shall now behold him, Rob'd in dreadful majesty; Those who set at nought and sold him, Pierc'd and nail'd him to the tree, Deeply wailing, Shall the true Messiah see. 3 The dear token of his passion, Still his dazzling body bears; Cause of endless exultation To his random'd worshippers: With what rapture Gaze we on those glorious scars! 4 Yea! Amen! let all adore thee, High on thine eternal throne! Saviour, take the pow'r and glory, Claim the kingdom for thine own: Jah! Jehovah! Everlasting God, come down. Languages: English

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.

Thou God of glorious majesty

Hymnal: A Pocket Hymn-book #17 (1793) 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 heavenly 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.
