Sinners, will you scorn the message

Appears in 288 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Sinners, will you scorn the message, Sent in mercy from above? Every sentence--oh how tender!-- Every line is full of love; Listen to it, Every line is full of love. 2 Hear the heralds of the Gospel News from Zion’s King proclaim, To each rebel sinner--"Pardon, "Free forgiveness in His name." How important! Free forgiveness in His name! 3 Tempted souls, they bring you succor; Fearful hearts, they quell your fears, And with news of consolation, Chase away the falling tears: Tender heralds, Chase away the falling tears. 4 False professors, grov'ling wordlings, Callous hearers of the word, While the messengers address you, Take the warnings they afford; We entreat you, Take the warnings they afford. 5 O ye angels, hov'ring round us, Waiting spirits, speed your way, Hasten to the court of heaven, Tidings bear without delay: Rebel sinners, Glad the message will obey.

Can you in frightful torments dwell, Shut up in black despair? 4 Bow to the scepter of His word, Renouncing every sin; Submit to Him, your sovereign Lord, And learn His will divine.

I come to Thee for rest; Take possession of my breast; There Thy sovereign right maintain, And without a rival reign. 4 Show me what I have to do, Every hour my strength renew; Let me live a life of faith, Let me die thy people's death.

Sin has a thousand treacherous arts

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 80 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 Sin has a thousand treacherous arts To practice on the mind; With flattering looks she tempts our hearts, But leaves a sting behind. 2 With names of virtue she deceives The agèd and the young; And while the heedless wretch believes, She makes his fetters strong. 3 She pleads for all the joys she brings, And gives a fair pretence; But cheats the soul of heavenly things, And chains it down to sense. 4 So on a tree divinely fair Grew the forbidden food; Our mother took the poison there, And tainted all her blood.

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 30 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated 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 heavenly crown? 3 Th'eternal God calls from above, And Jesus pleads His dying love; Awakened conscience gives you pain: And shall they join their pleas in vain? 4 Not so your dying eyes shall view Those objects which ye now pursue; Not so shall heaven and hell appear When the decisive hour is near. 5 Almighty God! Thine aid impart, To fix conviction on the heart: Thy power can clear the darkest eyes, And make the haughtiest scorner wise.

Stop, poor sinners, stop and think

Appears in 249 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Stop, poor sinners, stop and think, Before you further go! Will you sport upon the brink Of everlasting woe! 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 you not that iron rod With which He breaks His foes? Can you stand in that dread day, When His judgment 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! And you sins will round you crowd; You shall mark their crimson dye; Each for vengeance crying loud, And what can you reply? 4 Though your heart be made of steel, Your forehead lined 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."

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 347 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Penitent Lyrics: 1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry, Though all my crimes before Thee lie, Behold them not with angry look, But blot their memory from Thy book. 2 Create my nature pure within, And form my soul averse to sin: Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart, Nor hide Thy presence from my heart. 3 I cannot live without Thy light, Cast out and banish from Thy sight: Thy holy joys, my God, restore And guard me that I fall no more. 4 Though I have grieved Thy Spirit, Lord, Thy help and comfort still afford; And let me now come near Thy throne, To plead the merits of Thy Son. 5 A broken heart, my God, my King, Is all the sacrifice I bring; The God of grace will ne'er despise A broken heart for sacrifice. 6 My soul lies humbled in the dust, And owns Thy dreadful sentence just; Look down, O Lord, with pitying eye, And save the soul condemned to die.

Oh where shall rest be found

Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 652 hymnals Topics: Man a Sinner Awakened Lyrics: 1 Oh where shall rest be found, Rest for the weary soul? 'Twere vain the ocean's depths to sound, Or pierce to either pole. 2 The world can never give The bliss for which we sigh: 'Tis not the whole of life to live, Nor all of death to die. 3 Beyond this vale of tears, There is a life above, Unmeasured by the flight of years-- And all that life is love. 4 There is a death whose pang Outlasts the fleeting breath: Oh what eternal horrors hang Around the second death! 5 Lord God of truth and grace! Teach us that death to shun:-- Lest we be driven from Thy face, And evermore undone. 6 Here would we end our quest-- Alone are found in Thee, The life of perfect love--the rest Of immortality.
