Say, sinner, hath a voice within

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #281 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 Say, sinner, hath a voice within Oft whispered to thy secret soul, Urged thee to leave the ways of sin, And yield thy heart to God’s control? 2 Hath something met thee in the path Of worldliness and vanity, And pointed to the coming wrath, And warned thee from that wrath to flee? 3 Sinner, it was a heavenly voice,— It was the Spirit’s gracious call; It bade thee make the better choice, And haste to seek in Christ thine all. 4 Spurn not the call to life and light; Regard in time the warning kind; That call thou may'st not always slight, And yet the gate of mercy find. 5 God’s Spirit will not always strive With hardened, self-destroying man; Ye, who persist His love to grieve, May never hear His voice again. 6 Sinner, perhaps this very day, Thy last accepted time may be; Oh shouldst thou grieve Him now away, Then hope may never beam on thee.

Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #262 (1867) Topics: Man a Sinner Invited Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched, Weak and wounded, sick and sore! Jesus ready stands to save you, Full of pity joined with power: He is able, He is willing: doubt no more. 2 Now, ye needy! come and welcome; God's free bounty glorify: True belief, and true repentance, Every grace that brings us nigh-- Without money, Come to Jesus Christ, and buy. 3 Let not conscience make you linger, Nor of fitness fondly dream; All the fitness He requireth, Is to feel your need of Him; This He gives you, 'Tis the Spirit's rising beam. 4 Come, ye weary, heavy laden, Lost and ruined by the fall! If you tarry till you're better, You will never come at all: Not the righteous,-- Sinners Jesus came to call. 5 View Him prostrate in the garden; On the ground your Maker lies! On the bloody tree behold Him; Hear Him cry, before He dies, "It is finished!" Sinner, will not this suffice? 6 Lo! th' incarnate God, ascended, Pleads the merit of His blood; Venture on Him, venture wholly, Let no other trust intrude; None but Jesus Can do helpless sinners good. 7 Saints and angels, joined in concert, Sing the praises of the Lamb; While the blissful seats of heaven Sweetly echo with His name: Hallelujah! Sinners here may sing the same. Languages: English

A fountain is open; how canst thou refuse To wash and be cleansed in His pardoning blood? 3 Delay not, delay not, oh sinner! to come, For mercy still lingers, and calls thee to-day; Her voice is not heard in the vale of the tomb: Her message, unheeded, will soon pass away. 4 Delay not, delay not, the Spirit of grace, Long grieved and resisted, may take His sad flight; And leave thee in darkness to finish thy race, To sink in the gloom of eternity’s night. 5 Delay not, delay not: the hour is at hand, The earth shall dissolve, and the heavens shall fade; The dead, small and great, in the judgment shall stand; What helper, then, sinner, shall lend thee his aid?

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?

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."

There is a time, we know not when

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #291 (1867) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Man a Sinner Warned and Entreated Lyrics: 1 There is a time, we know not when, A point, we know not where, That marks the destiny of man To glory or despair. 2 There is a line, by us unseen, That crosses every path; The hidden boundary between God's patience and His wrath. 3 To pass that limit is to die, To die as if by stealth; It does not quench the beaming eye, Or pale the glow of health. 4 The conscience may be still at ease, The spirits light and gay; That which is pleasing still may please, And care be thrust away. 5 But on the forehead God has set, Indelibly, a mark, Unseen by man, for man as yet Is blind and in the dark. 6 And yet the doomed man's path below Like Eden may have bloomed; He did not, does not, will not know Or feel that he is doomed. 7 He knows, he feels that all is well, And every fear is calmed; He lives, he dies, he wakes in hell, Not only doomed, but damned. 8 Oh where is this mysterious bourne, By which our path is crossed, Beyond which, God himself hath sworn That he who goes is lost? 9 How far may we go on in sin? How long will God forbear? Where does hope end? and where begin The confines of despair? 10 An answer from the skies is sent; Ye that from God depart, While it is called to-day, repent! And harden not your heart. Languages: English

The Lord looked down from heaven's high tower

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #258 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Man a Sinner Depraved Lyrics: 1 the Lord looked down from heaven's high tower, And all the sons of men did view, To see if any owned His power, If any truth or justice knew; 2 But all, He saw, were gone aside, All were degenerate grown, and base; None took religion for their guide, Not one of all the sinful race. 3 How will they tremble, then, for fear, When His just wrath shall them o'ertake: For to the righteous God is near, And never will their cause forsake. 4 Oh that from Sion he'd employ His might, and burst th' oppressive band! Then shouts of universal joy Should loudly echo through the land. Scripture: Psalm 14 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #286 (1867) Meter: 8.8.8.8 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. Languages: English

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.

Straight he saw, and won by kindness, Followed Jesus in the way. 5 Oh! methinks I hear him praising, Publishing to all around; "Friends is not my case amazing? What a Saviour I have found! 6 "Oh! that all the blind but knew him, And would be advised by me! Surely would they hasten to Him, He would cause them all to see." Languages: English

Hymnal: The Book of Worship #297 (1867) Topics: Man a Sinner Awakened Lyrics: 1 Lo! on a narrow neck of land, 'Twixt two unbounded seas, I stand, Secure, insensible: A point of time, a moment's space, Removes me to that heavenly place, Or shuts me up in hell. 2 O God! mine inmost soul convert, And deeply on my thoughtful heart Eternal things impress: Give me to feel their solemn weight, And tremble on the brink of fate, And wake to righteousness. 3 Before me place in dread array The pomp of that tremendous day, When Thou with clouds shalt come; To judge the nations at Thy bar; And tell me, Lord, shall I be there To meet a joyful doom? 4 Be this my one great business here, With serious industry and fear Eternal bliss t' insure: Thine utmost counsel to fulfill, And suffer all Thy righteous will, And to the end endure. 5 Then, Saviour, then my soul receive, Transported from this vale to live And reign with Thee above, Where faith is sweetly lost in sight, And hope in full, supreme delight And everlasting love.

Thy vengeance will not strike me here, Nor Satan dares my soul invade. 4 Yes, I'm secure beneath Thy blood, And all my foes shall lose their aim; Hosannah to my dying Lord, And my best honors to His name.
