Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLXXXI (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Selection of Hymns Lyrics: 1 Sinner, O why so thoughtless grown?
Why in such dreadful haste to die?
Daring to leap to worlds unknown,
Heedless against thy God to fly?
2 Wilt thou despise eternal fate,
Urg'd on by sin's fantastic dreams,
Madly attempt th' infernal gate,
And force thy passage to the flames?
3 Stay, sinner, on the gospel plains,
Behold the God of love unfold
The glories of his dying pains,
For ever telling, yet untold. Topics: Hell; Sinner reasoned with Languages: English
