Say, will you to mount Zion go?
Say, will you have this Christ or no?

Lost and saved.

1 SINNERS! hear you not the thunder,
How it rolls along the sky,-

Striking mortals' ears with wonder-
"Sure the guilty soul shall die?"
Curse declaring,—

"Sure the guilty soul shall die!"

2 Flaming darts the bolt from heaven,
Smiting sinners to the dust:
Then they sink, to ruin driven,
Crying, sinking,-"Lost! O, lost!"
Sad, despairing,

Saying ever, "Lost! O, lost!"

3 Flee, O flee this doom, so wretched!
Lo, the Savior, on the tree
In his agony outstretched,
Dies for thee; for thee and me:
O, amazing!

Dies for thee!-for thee and me!

4 Claims He love, and rev'rence awful?
Canst thou, sinner, these decline?
Come, O come, say now most joyful,
"Jesus, SAVIOR, I am thine!"

241.

Add, while praising,

“Jesus, SAVIOR, THOU ART MINE!”

mp 1 0, 'TIS a fearful thing to die!
To leave this mortal state,

Away from earthly things to fly,
And meet our endless fate.

2 How gloomy on his dying bed
The sinner gazes round!

On him no cheerful beams are shed,
By him no joy is found.

3 When ask'd, if any light doth shine,—
If he of hope can tell;

mp

Dying, he gives no joyful sign,—
No sign, that all is well!

aff 4 Lord, let me know a spiritual birth,
And taste a Savior's love,

mf

That, joyful, I may leave the earth,
And rise to Thee above!

Youth and Judgment.

1 YE sons of Adam, young and vain,
Though love of pleasure in you reign,
And mirthful be each day; yet know,
There is a day of judgment too!

2 Your God beholds your thoughts and words,
His book your secret sins records;
The works of darkness, you have done,
Must all appear before the sun.

3 Almighty God, turn off their eyes
From earth's alluring vanities,
And let the thunder of thy word
Awake their souls to fear the Lord!

1 NOW in the heat of youthful blood
Remember your Creator, God;

Behold, the months come hast'ning on,
When thou shalt say, "My joys are gone!"

p 2 Behold, the aged sinner goes,

Laden with guilt and heavy woes,
Down to the regions of the dead,
With endless curses on his head.
3 The dust returns to dust again;
The soul in agonies of pain
Ascends to God; not there to dwell,
But hears her doom, and sinks to hell.

Aff 4 Eternal King! I fear thy name;

mf

Teach me to know how weak my frame,
And, when my soul must hence remove,
Give me a mansion in thy love!

The Sinner awakened.

Boylston. Dunbar,

Aff 1 TO Thee, O God, I call,
In this distressing hour;
In anguish at thy feet I fall,
And plead the Savior's power.
2 My sins, O God, are great;
And deep my guilty stain;
I tremble on the brink of fate,
Expos'd to endless pain.

8 Death threatens all around,
From which I cannot flee
No help, no help, O God, is found,
But what is found in Thee!
- 4 For me display thy power,
And make my pride submit ;
Unlock, unlock this prison door,
And bring me from the pit.
5 Give me immortal light,
And save my soul from hell;
Or, banish'd to eternal night,
I there must ever dwell.

6 O, help me with thy love,

245.

And give me grace divine :

My guilt and darkness, Lord, remove,
And let my soul be thine!

Sinners invited.

1 SINNERS, will ye scorn the kindness,
Shown to you from heav'n above?
Can you with unthankful blindness
Disregard a Savior's love?

While the angels

Loud extol the Savior's love?

2 Lo, for you God's Son descended,
Laid aside his heav'nly form,
As a servant, unattended,

Came to dwell with man, a worm!
O, amazing!

Came to dwell with man, a worm!

mp 3 See, for you the Savior wounded, See his hands, and feet, and side

[merged small][ocr errors][merged small]

Streaming blood, while earth, astounded,
Trembles, as He groan'd and died!
O, amazing!

Trembles, as He groan'd and died!

4 Can your hearts be still all frozen,
Though the Savior died for you?
Come, O come, with all the chosen,
Take the crown, held up to view!
O, how wondrous!
Sinners, crown of life for you!

Sinners invited to Liberty.

1 YE sinful, dying thralls,
In chains by Satan bound,
To you the SAVIOR calls,-
O, sweet, and joyful sound!
2 He bids you to arise

Alps.

From dungeon's cheerless gloom,
And gaze upon the skies,
Where ye may have your home.

3 He bids you to be free
From guilty fears and wo:
The joys of liberty

Ye all through Him may know.
mp 4 Shall JESUS call in vain?
And will you, wretched, wear,
Fore'er your heavy chain
In deep and dark despair?

5 Ye sinful, dying thralls!
Blest freedom ye may know:
To you the Savior calls,-
O, hear Him,-love Him Now!

Jesus inviting Sinners.

1 TO you the SAVIOR calls,
From heav'n above;
To you, ye sinful thralls,
In wondrous love!-

mp 2 Why, sinners, will ye die,
And lose your souls?

From wave of vengeance fly!
See how it rolls!

3 TO JESUS hearken now:

1 TO DAY the Savior calls!

Ye wand'rers, come;
O, ye benighted souls,
Why longer roam?

2 To-day the Savior calls!
O, listen now:

Within these sacred walls
To Jesus bow!

3 To-day the Savior calls!
For refuge fly;

The storm of vengeance falls;
Ruin is nigh.

4 The Spirit calls to-day!
Yield to his pow'r:

O, grieve Him not away;
'Tis mercy's hour.
