10235. Hark! Sinner Hark!

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.
