Hark! Sinner Hark!

Author: William Hague Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #10235 Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Hark! sinner, hark! God speaks to thee Lyrics: 1 Hark! sinner, hark! God speaks to thee; How shall I let thee go? How shall I thy destruction see, And all thine anguish know? 2 Sinner, how shall I give thee up? I’ve loved thee as a child; Yet of thy sins, thou fill’st the cup, As if with passion wild. 3 Sinner, how shall I let thee go? My heart doth yearn for thee, Yet thou dost love transgression so, Thou wilt not turn to Me. 4 O sinner, stop! pause in thy path, Pause, ere it be too late; And now, while I hold back My wrath, Escape thy threatening fate. 5 But if thou wilt not, then I must Forever let thee go; And that I am both kind and just, The universe shall know. Tune Title: AWFUL MAJESTY
