Flee as a Bird to Your Mountain

Author: Mrs. M. S. B. Dana Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.8 Appears in 102 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Flee as a bird to your mountain, Thou who art weary of sin; Go to the clear-flowing fountain, Where you may wash and be clean; Fly, for temptation is near thee, Call, and the Savior will hear thee; He on His bosom will bear thee, O thou who art weary of sin, O thou who art weary of sin. 2. He will protect thee forever, Wipe ev'ry falling tear; He will forsake thee O never, Sheltered so tenderly there! Haste then, the hours are flying, Spend not the moments in sighing, Cease from your sorrow and crying, The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear, The Savior will wipe ev'ry tear.

O Why Not Now?

Author: Daniel Otis Teasley Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Why not now? O sinner, listen Lyrics: 1 Why not now? O sinner, listen To that pleading voice within, Saying, “Jesus came to save you From the awful curse of sin.” Refrain: Oh, why not now? Oh, why not now? All heaven waits while you delay; Oh, why not now? Oh, why not now? Risk not your soul for one more day. 2 Why not now? Your days are passing Swiftly to eternity; All your strength is unavailing Your poor heart from sin to free. [Refrain] 3 Why not now? The future holdeth Not one promise for your soul; Come, accept God’s proffered mercy Ere you die in sin’s control. [Refrain] 4 Why not now? Your death is nearing, Soon your final day will come, And your choice this very moment May result in awful doom. [Refrain] 5 Why not now? Oh, do not linger, Reason bids you make the choice; Saints and angels bid you welcome, Harken to that inner voice. [Refrain] Hymnal of the Church of God, 1953 (Timeless Truths) Used With Tune: [Why not now? O sinner, listen]

Warner Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.8.8 Appears in 5 hymnals First Line: Lo, wisdom crieth in the streets Refrain First Line: The voice of wisdom cries to all Lyrics: 1 Lo, wisdom crieth in the streets, In solemn tones of warning; Amid the concourse loud repeats, The end of time is coming. Refrain: The voice of wisdom cries to all, The end of time is coming soon; The voice of wisdom cries to all, Escape the sinner’s awful doom. 2 Hear, O ye craving, restless throng, The gospel invitation, It tells you what you’ve needed long— The touch of God’s salvation. [Refrain] 3 Young men, in all your revelry, Young ladies, proud and thoughtless, Will you be saved eternally, Or die forever hopeless? [Refrain] 4 You drown your souls in follies deep, You plunge in sin’s perdition, Yet wisdom cries upon the street, In God there is redemption. [Refrain] 5 Ye aged sinners surely know Your end of time is coming, And youthful summers swiftly flow Down to the vale of mourning. [Refrain] 6 Come, old and young, come, rich and poor, We have but one probation; Be wise, repent and sin no more, Accept a free salvation.
