IV. The Young Penitent

1 Hark! hear the sound, on earth is found,
My soul delights to hear,
Of dying love, that's from above,
Of pardon bought so dear.

2 God's ministers, like flames of fire,
Are passing through the land;
The voice is Hear, repent and fear,
King JESUS is at hand.

3 The char'ots they no longer stay,
They're mounted on the truth;
The saints, in pray'r, cry, LORD, draw near,
Haver mercy on our youth.

4 Young converts sing, and praise their King,
And bless God's holy name,
While older saints, true penitents,
Rejoice join the theme.

5 God grant a show'r of his great pow'r
On ev'ry aching heart,
Who sincerely to him do cry
That they may have a part.

6 Come, lovely youth, embrace the truth
agree with one accord;
And use your tongues while you are young,
In praising of the Lord.
