The World in Awful Sleep

Author: Daniel S. Warner Hymnal: Timeless Truths #537 Meter: 9.9.5.5.9.9 First Line: What awful darkness shrouds all the earth! Refrain First Line: Oh, hear the thunder Lyrics: 1 What awful darkness shrouds all the earth! Hearts sealed in hardness, grope on in death. Refrain: Oh, hear the thunder, Sinner in slumber; Will you determine to break the spell, And not abandon your soul to hell? 2 Oh, dreadful picture! Oh, peril’s day! Sleep, darker, deeper, holds deadly sway. [Refrain] 3 Hell’s breathing stupor, now over all: Who’ll break the subtle infernal pall? [Refrain] 4 Oh, world of sinners—if not too late— While hope yet glimmers, flee from your fate. [Refrain] 5 Awake, O sleeper, God help you hear; Death coils around you, your doom is near. [Refrain] Topics: Warning Scripture: Ephesians 5:14 Tune Title: [What awful darkness shrouds all the earth]
