Terrible Thought! Shall I Alone

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #6946 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1. Terrible thought! shall I alone— Who may be saved—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, Dragged to the judgment seat, Far on the left with horror stand, My fearful doom to meet? 4. Ah, no! I still may turn and live, For still His wrath delays; He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve, And offers me His grace. 5. I will accept His offers now, From every sin depart, Perform my oft-repeated vow And render Him my heart. 6. I will improve what I receive, The grace through Jesus giv’n; Sure, if with God on earth I live, To live with Him in Heav’n. Languages: English Tune Title: BANGOR
