Author: Philip Doddridge Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #391 (1886) Lyrics: 1 Why do we waste on trifling cares
That life which God's compassion spares,
While in the various range of thought,
The one thing needful is forgot?
2 Shall God invite us from above?
Shall Jesus urge his dying love?
Shall troubled conscience give us pain?
And all these please unite in vain?
3 Not so our eyes will always view
Those objects which we now pursue;
Not so will heaven and hell appear,
When death's decisive hour is near.
4 Almighty God, thy grace impart;
Fix deep conviction on each heart;
Nor let us waste on trifling care
That life which thy compassion spares. Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Tune Title: BERA
