In vain the preacher cried, Repent

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #19 (1854) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Ark of safety; Flood Lyrics: In vain the preacher cried, "Repent; Flee from impending wrath;" Headlong the world of rebels went Along its own broad path. They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, Built, planted, till the day When the flood came, and young and old Were swept at once away. A few that fear'd the warning word Escaped the doom of sin; The ark received them, and the Lord Shut safe His servants in. The tide of time that knows no turn, Like that ingulfing flood, Whelms with destruction those that spurn God's truth and Jesus' blood. But still his preachers cry, "Repent; Flee from sin's deadly doom;" Forth from the ark this call is sent, "Come in, there yet is room." Unshut the door, where Mercy stands, The perishing to save, With earnest eye, and outstretch'd hands, From death beyond the grave. Languages: English

A world of sinners once was drowned

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #20 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Ark of safety; Deluge, escape from Lyrics: A world of sinners once was drown'd, A deluge swept them all away; One family alone had found Mercy in that great Judgment Day. Forewarn'd of wrath to come, they fear'd, And, taught by God, prepared an ark, Which o'er the waves in sunshine steer'd, Where all below was dead and dark. Again the Spirit of the Lord Moved on the formless deep and void, And to the Patriarchs sight restored The relics of that world destroyed: A world without a breathing soul, Or sign of life in plant or tree; Stretch'd like a corpse from pole to pole, Untravell'd land, unvoyaged sea! Then from their hiding place they came, And straightway built an altar there; Whence rose to heaven the double flame Of pure burnt sacrifice and prayer. We, in an ark not made with hands, God's own new covenant of peace, Which on the rock of ages stands, Seek refuge till his anger cease. Then, as the cloud-born rainbow smiled On Noah's ransom'd ones, we trace Our heavenly Father reconciled In our incarnate Saviour's face. Languages: English
