And meet Apollyon's forces; Gird on your sword and glittering shield, 3 The bounty you shall have in hand, 4 No more in Satan's rank appear, 5 Then let not sinners you affright, 6 And when the war is at an end, And on our golden harps we'll play HEARKEN, sinners, we have come We pray be reconcil'd to Him Freely drink and quench your thirst, 2 Come, all ye humble, weeping souls We bring glad tidings unto you, 3 There is a fountain deep and wide, Come drink, and wash, and be made white, 4 Oh! see the crowd that's traveling on, They march along the banks of love, 5 Shall unbelief debar you from 15 12s & 8s. WHEN the harvest is past, and the summer is gone, Wis And sermons and prayers shall be o'er; When the beams cease to break of the sweet Sabbath morn, And Jesus invites thee no more; When the rich gales of mercy no longer shall blow, The gospel no message declare: Sinner, how canst thou bear the deep wailings of wo! How suffer the night of despair! 2 When the holy have gone to the regions of peace, To dwell in the mansions above; When their harmony wakes in the fulness of bliss, Their song to the Savior they love; Say, O sinner, that livest at rest and secure, Who fearest no trouble to come, Can thy spirit the swellings of sorrow endure, Or bear the impenitent's doom? 16.

And in your pleasures boast, you must die. 2 Uncertain are your days here below, &c., Uncertain are your days, &c., Uncertain are your days, for God hath many ways To bring you to your graves here below, here below, To bring, &c. 3 And if you travel down the broad road, the broad road, And if you travel down the broad road, And if you travel down, to darkness you are bound, Eternally around, the broad road, &c., Eternally, &c. 4 To a dreadful judgment day you are bound, you are bound, To a dreadful judgment day you are bound, To a dreadful judgment day, be your thoughts what'er they may; Nor can you it delay, you are bound, &c., 5 The God who built the sky, great I AM, great I AM, The God who built the sky, &c., The God who built the sky, hath said (and can not lie), Impenitents must die, and be lost, &c., Impenitents, &c. 6 And O! my friends, don't you, I entreat, I entreat, And O! my friends, don't you, &c.

Now Jesus invites you, the Spirit says, Come, And angels are waiting to welcome you home. 2 How vain the delusion, that while you delay Your hearts may grow better by staying away; Come wretched, come starving, come just as you be, While streams of salvation are flowing so free. 3 Now Jesus is ready your souls to receive, And grant you a pardon, if you'll believe; If sin is your burden, why will you not come? "Tis you he bids welcome; he bids you come home. 4 In riches, in pleasures, what can you obtain, To soothe your affliction, or banish your pain? To bear up your spirits, when summoned to die, Or waft you to mansions of glory on high! 5 Why will you be starving or feeding on air? There's mercy in Jesus enough and to spare; If still you are doubting, make trial and see, And prove that his mercy is boundless and free. 6 Come, give us your hand, and the Savior your heart; And trusting in Jesus, we never shall part. come? We'll journey together, and soon be at home. |
