Young People All, Attention Give
Author: Anonymous Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 113 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Young people all, attention give,
While I address you in God’s name;
You who in sin and folly live,
Come hear the counsel of a friend.
I’ve sought for bliss in glittering toys,
And ranged the luring scenes of vice;
But never knew substantial joys,
Until I heard my Savior’s voice.
2 He spake at once my sins forgiven,
And washed my load of guilt away;
He gave me glory, peace, and Heav’n,
And thus I found the heav’nly way.
And now with trembling sense I view
The billows roll beneath your feet;
For death eternal waits for you,
Who slight the force of Gospel truth.
3 Youth, like the spring, will soon be gone
By fleeting time or conquering death,
Your morning sun may set at noon,
And leave you ever in the dark.
Your sparkling eyes and blooming cheeks
Must wither like the blasted rose;
The coffin, earth, and winding sheet
Will soon your active limbs enclose.
4 Ye heedless ones that wildly stroll,
The grave will soon become your bed,
Where silence reigns, and vapors roll
In solemn darkness round your head.
Your friends will pass the lonesome place,
And with a sigh move slow along;
Still gazing on the spires of grass
With which your graves are overgrown.
5 Your souls will land in darker realms,
Where vengeance reigns and billows roar,
And roll amid the burning flames,
When thousand thousand years are o’er.
Sunk in the shades of endless night,
To groan and howl in endless pain,
And never more behold the light,
And never, never rise again.
6 Ye blooming youth, this is the state
Of all who do free grace refuse;
And soon with you ’twill be too late
The way of life and Christ to choose.
Come, lay your carnal weapons by,
No longer fight against your God,
But with the Gospel now comply,
And Heav’n shall be your great reward. Used With Tune: JULIAN Text Sources: A New Collection of the Most Approved Hymns and Spiritual Song (New Bern, NC: Salmon Hall, 1904)

Lo the great God will come from high
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lo the great God will come from high,
And with Him bring His own reward;
Jesus declares Jehovah nigh,
The sovereign God, th’almighty Lord!
"Lo, from above I quickly come,
And bring My own reward with Me,
And seal the universal doom,
Which stands to all eternity."
2 True witness of Thy swift return,
Thy faithful record we receive,
And long on angels’ wings upborne
To meet, and see Thy face, and live:
"Come quickly, Lord," our hearts reply;
"According to Thy word descend
Jehovah glorious from the sky,
And bring the joy that ne’er shall end." Used With Tune: JULIAN Text Sources: Hymns on the Trinity, 1767

Which Christians can with joy receive?

And pass insensibly away:
I seek a permanent reward;
The favor of my glorious Lord,
The gift unspeakable be mine,
And all the heav’n of love divine. Used With Tune: JULIAN Text Sources: Short Hymns on Select Passages of Holy Scripture (Bristol, England: E. Farley, 1762), alt.
