Going Down to the Grave

Hymnal: Triumphant Songs No.3 #113 (1892) First Line: Going down to the grave, with no hope in thy heart Refrain First Line: Oh, turn to thy God Lyrics: 1 Going down to the grave, with no hope in thy heart, That thy God will receive thee all guilt as thou art; Life’s sunshine extinguished with faltering tread, In darkness and doubt going down to the dead. Refrain: Oh, turn to thy God Who dwelleth on high, Come trusting his word, And thou shalt not die. 2 Going down to the grave, in the blackness of night, No star-beam of love from the Father of light; No Savior’s sweet presence and promise to save; A stranger to God, going down to the grave. [Refrain] 3 No God and no hope, where, oh, where is thy stay? Thy Savior long pleading turns not yet away; His sad eye will pity, his strong arm can save, Why then in thine own strength go down to the grave. [Refrain] 4 Thine hours of gay pleasure ere long will be o’er, A dark gulf awaits thee, its mad waters roar; Too late thou wilt call on the Mighty to save, When thy pray’r shall be lost in eternity’s grave. [Refrain] Topics: Awakening; Solo Tune Title: [Going down to the grave, with no hope in thy heart]
