I saw, beyond the tomb

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #237 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 I saw, beyond the tomb, The awful Judge appear, Prepar'd to scan with strict account, My blessings wasted here. 2 His wrath like flaming fire, Burn'd to the lowest hell-- And in that hopeless world of wo, He bade my spirit dwell. 3 Ye sinners, fear the Lord, While yet 'tis call'd today; Soon will the awful voice of death Command your souls away. 4 Soon will the harvest close-- The summer soon be o'er-- And soon, your injur'd, angry God Will hear your prayers no more. Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20

Stop, poor sinners, stop and think

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #240 (1828) Meter: Irregular 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."

And am I born to die?

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #231 (1828) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 And am I born to die? To lay this body down? And must my trembling spirit fly Into a world unknown? 2 Soon as from earth I go What will become of me? Eternal happiness or wo Must then my portion be! 3 Wak'd by the trumpet's sound, I from my grave must rise, And see the Judge with glory crown'd, And see the flaming skies. 4 How shall I leave my tomb! With triumph or regret! A fearful or a joyful doom, A curse or blessing meet? 5 Will angel bands convey Their brother to the bar? Or devils drag my soul away To meet its sentence there? 6 Who can resolve the doubt That tears my anxious breast? Shall I be with the damn'd cast out, Or number'd with the blest? 7 I must from God be driven, Or with my Saviour dwell; Must come at his command to heaven, Or else depart to hell. 8 I thou that wouldst not have One wretched sinner die, Who diedst thyself, my soul to save From endless misery; 9 Show me the way to shun Thy dreadful wrath severe, That when thou comest on thy throne, I may with joy appear.

How many generations dead

Author: James Montgomery Hymnal: Sacred Poems and Hymns #233 (1854) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Life and death and judgment Lyrics: How many generations dead Dwell in the dust on which we tread! How many yet may spring to birth, When we are seen no more on earth! Till, of past, present and to come, Time shall cast up the destined sum, And, name by name, through that amount, Call every unit to account. Where'er ensepulchred they lie, Each then must answer, "Here am I!" And once, but once, all Adam's race Meet for a moment face to face. 231 Then shall the King on either side, As sheep from goats, the throng divide, And those to bliss, and these to woe, Rejoicing or lamenting go. How small to that assembly this! Yet heirs like them of woe or bliss: Were the last trumpet now to sound, On whether hand should we be found? "Guilty" we plead, O Judge of all! Guilty into Thine hands we fall; The friend of sinners still art Thou; Save or we perish, save us now! Languages: English

Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #235 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye; Behold God's balance lifted high! There shall his justice be display'd, And there thy hope and life be weigh'd. 2 See in one scale his perfect law; Mark with what force its precepts draw; Wouldst thou the awful test sustain?-- Thy works how light! thy thoughts how vain! 3 Behold the hand of God appears To trace in dreadful characters; "Sinner--thy soul is wanting found, And wrath shall smite thee to the ground." 4 Let sudden fear thy nerves unbrace; And horror change thy guilty face, Thro' all thy thoughts let anguish roll, Till deep repentance melt thy soul. 5 One only hope may yet prevail;-- Christ hath a weight to turn the scale; Still doth the gospel publish peace, And show a Saviour's righteousness. 6 Great God, exert thy power to save; Deep on the heart, these truths engrave; The pond'rous load of guilt remove, That trembling lips may sing thy love. Scripture: Daniel 5:27

Can you in frightful torments dwell, Shut up in black despair? 4 Bow to the sceptre of his word, Renouncing ev'ry sin; Submit to him your sov'reign Lord, And learn his will divine.

Why will ye lavish out your years

Hymnal: Hymns, Selected and Original #244 (1828) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Lyrics: 1 Why will ye lavish out your years Amidst a thousand trifling cares? While, in the various range of thought, The one thing needful is forgot. 2 Why will ye chase the fleeting wind, And famish an immortal mind; While angels with regret look down, To see you spurn a heav'nly crown? 3 Th'eternal God calls from above, And Jesus pleads his dying love; Awaken'd conscience gives you pain: And shall they join their please in vain? 4 Not so your dying eyes shall view Those objects, which ye now pursue. Not so shall heav'n and hell appear, When the decisive hour is near. 5 Almighty God! thine aid impart, To fix conviction on the heart. Thy pow'r can clear the darkest eyes, And make the haughtiest scorner wise.
