4 Sinner, come, Shall be seal'd forever; Grieve and mourn, Flee to Christ the Saviour. HYMN 14. CHILD of sin and sorrow, Fill'd with dismay, Wait not for to-morrow, 2 Child of sin and sorrow, Grieve not that love, Which from above Child of sin and sorrow, Would bring thee nigh. HYMN 15. 76. STOP, poor sinner, stop and think, Can you sport upon the brink Of everlasting woe? Hell beneath is gaping wide, Vengeance waits the dread command; Soon 'twill stop your sport and pride, With which he breaks his foes? 4 Though your hearts be made of steel, (Though they now despise his grace :) Rocks and mountains on us fall, And hide us from his face. 5 But as yet there is a hope, You may his mercy know: He still forbears the blow: Sinners He invites to come; None that come shall be denied- HYMN 16. C. M. ATTEND, young friends, while I relate The dangers you are in; The evils that around you wait, While subject unto sin. Although you flourish like the rose, 2 In silent shades you must lie down, Your friends will then stand weeping round, How small this world will then appear At the tremendous hour; When you Jehovah's voice shall hear, 3 In vain you'll mourn, your days are past, O come this moment and begin, HYMN 17. L. M.-double. name, You who in sin and folly live, Come, hear the counsel of a friend. I sought for bliss in glitt'ring toys, And ranged th' alluring scenes of vice, But never found substantial joys Until I heard my Saviour's voice. 2 He spake, my sins at once forgiv'n, And wash'd my load of guilt away, He gave me pardon, peace, and heaven, And thus I found the good old way; And now with trembling sense I view, Huge billows roll beneath your feet, For death eternal waits for you, And hell is moved your souls to meet. 3 Youth, like the spring, will soon be past, By fleeting time or conqu'ring death; Yon morning sun may set at noon, So transient is our mortal breath; 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 must soon become your bed, Where silence reigns, and vapors roll, In solemn silence round your head: Your friends may pass that lonesome place, And with a sigh move slowly on, Still gazing on the spires of grass, With which your graves are overgrown. 5 But O! the soul where vengeance reigns, It sinks with groans and ceaseless cries, It rolls amidst the burning flames 6 O! fellow youth, this is the state Will you go. WE HYMN 18. E are traveling home to heaven above; Will you go? Will you go? 2 We are going to walk the plains of light; Will you, &c. Where perfect day dispels the night; Will you, &c. |
