My soul, the minutes haste away

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 16 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 My soul, the minutes haste away, Apace comes on th'important day, When in the icy arms of death I must give up my vital breath. 2 Look forward to the moving scene; How wilt thou be affected then? When from on high some sharp disease Resistless shall my vitals seize. 3 when all the springs of life are low, The spirits faint, the pulses slow; The eyes grow dim and short the breath, Presages of approaching death. 4 When clammy sweats thro' ev'ry part, Show life's retreating to the heart; Its last resistance there to make, And then the breathless frame forsake. 5 When all eternity's in sight; The brightest day, or blackest night; One shock will break the building down, And let thee into worlds unknown. 6 O come, my soul, the matter weigh! How wilt thou leave thy kindred clay! And how the unknown regions try, And launch into eternity!

Awake, awake, my sluggish soul

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 38 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Awake, awake, my sluggish soul, Awake, and view the setting sun; See how the shades of death advance, Ere half the task of life is done. 2 Death!--'tis an awful, solemn sound; Oh, let it wake the slumb'ring ear! Apace the dreadful conqueror comes, With all his pale companions near. 3 Thy drowsy eyes will soon be clos'd,-- These friendly warnings heard no more; Soon will the nighty Judge approach, E'en now he stands before the door. 4 To-day attend his gracious voice; This is the summons that he sends: "Awake,--for on this transient hour Thy long eternity depends." Scripture: John 9:4

Eternity is just at hand!

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 142 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Eternity is just at hand!-- And shall I waste my ebbing sand; And careless view departing day, And throw my inch of time away? 2 But an eternity there is Of endless wo, or endless bliss; And swift as time fulfils its round, We to eternity are bound. 3 What countless millions of mankind Have left this fleeting world behind! They're gone! but where?--ah, pause and see, Gone to a long eternity. 4 Sinner! canst thou for ever dwell In all the fiery deeps of hell; And is death nothing, then, to thee; Death, and a dread eternity?

Stop, poor sinners, stop and think

Meter: Irregular Appears in 249 hymnals Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Stop, poor sinners, stop and think, Before you farther go; Will you sport upon the brink Of everlasting wo! On the verge of ruin stop-- Now the friendly warning take-- Stay your footsteps--ere ye drop Into the burning lake. 2 Say, have you an arm like God, That you his will oppose? Fear ye not that iron rod With which he breaks his foes? Can you stand in that dread day, Which his justice shall proclaim, And the earth shall melt away Like wax before the flame? 3 Ghastly death will quickly come. And drag you to his bar; Then to hear your awful doom, Will fill you with despair! All your sins will round you crowd; You shall mark their crimson dye; Each for vengeance crying loud, And what can you reply? 4 Tho' your heart were made of steel, Your forehead lin'd with brass; God at length will make you feel, He will not let you pass; Sinners, then in vain will call, Those who now despise his grace, "Rocks and mountains on us fall, And hide us from his face."
