When shall Thy love constrain

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #313 (1917) Topics: Delay Lyrics: 1 When shall Thy love constrain, And force me to Thy breast? When shall my soul return again To her eternal rest? 2 Ah! what avails my strife, My wand'ring to and fro? Thou hast the words of endless life; Ah! whither should I go? 3 Thy condescending grace To me did freely move; It calls me still to seek Thy face, And stoops to ask my love. 4 And can I yet delay My love, my life to give? To tear my soul from earth away, My Jesus to receive? 5 Nay, but I yield, I yield! I can hold out no more; I sink, by dying love compelled, And own Thee conqueror.

O Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #314 (1990) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 O wherefore do the nations rage, and kings and rulers strive in vain, against the Lord of earth and heav'n to overthrow Messiah's reign? 2 Their strength is weakness in the sight of him who sits enthroned above; he speaks, and judgments fall on them who tempt his wrath and scorn his love. 3 By God's decree his Son receives the nations for his heritage; the conqu'ring Christ supreme shall reign as King of kings, from age to age. 4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, and serve the Lord with godly fear; with rev'rent joy confess the Son while yet in mercy he is near. 5 Delay not, lest his anger rise, and ye should perish in your way; lo, all that put their trust in him are blest indeed, and blest alway. Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English Tune Title: SAXONY

Life is the Time to serve the Lord

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXVIII (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 Life is the Time to serve the Lord, The Time t' insure the great Reward; And while the Lamp holds out to burn, The vilest Sinner may return. [2 Life is the Hour that God has giv'n To 'scape from Hell, and fly to Heav'n; The Day of Grace, and Mortals may Secure the Blessings of the Day.] 3 The Living know that they must die, But all the Dead forgotten lie; Their Mem'ry and their Sense is gone, Alike unknowing and unknown. [4 Their Hatred and their Love is lost, Their Envy buried in the Dust; They have no Share in all that's done Beneath the Circuit of the Sun.] 5 Then what my Thoughts design to do, My Hands with all your Might pursue, Since no Device, nor Work is found, Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground. 6 There are no Acts of Pardon past In the cold Grave, to which we haste; But Darkness, Death, and long Despair, Reign in eternal Silence there. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 Languages: English

Ye Sons of Adam, vain and young

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXIX (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 Ye Sons of Adam, vain and young, Indulge your Eyes, indulge your Tongue, Taste the Delights your Souls desire, And give a Loose to all your Fire; 2 Pursue the Pleasures you design, And cheer your Hearts with Songs and Wine; Enjoy the Day of Mirth, but know, There is a Day of Judgment too. 3 God from on high beholds your Thoughts, His Book records your secret Faults; The Works of Darkness, you have done, Must all appear before the Sun. 4 The Vengeance to your Follies due, Should strike your Hearts with Terror through: How will you stand before his Face, Or answer for his injur'd Grace? 4 Almighty God, turn off their Eyes From these alluring Vanities; And let the Thunder of thy Word Awake their Souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9 Languages: English

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XC (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise, And through all Nature rove, Fulfil the Wishes of their Eyes, And taste the Joys they love. 2 They give a Loose to wild Desires; But let the Sinners know The strict Account that God requires Of all the Works they do. 3 The Judge prepares his Throne on high, The frighted Earth and Seas Avoid the fury of his Eye, And flee before his Face. 4 How shall I bear that dreadful Day, And stand the fiery Test? I give all mortal Joys away, To be for ever blest. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9 Languages: English

Now, in the Heat of youthful Blood

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XCI (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 Now, in the Heat of youthful Blood, Remember your Creator God; Behold the Months come hast'ning on, When you shall say, My Joys are gone. 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. 4 Eternal King, I fear thy Name, Teach me to know how frail I am; And when my Soul must hence remove, Give me a Mansion in thy Love. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:1 Languages: English

My drowsy Pow'rs, why sleep ye so?

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XXV (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 My drowsy Pow'rs, why sleep ye so? Awake, my sluggish Soul! Nothing has half thy Work to do, Yet Nothing's half so dull. 2 The little Ants for one poor Grain Labour, and tug, and strive, Yet we, who have a Heav'n t' obtain, How negligent we live? 3 We, for whose Sake all Nature stands, And Stars their Courses move; We, for whose Guard the Angel Bands Come flying from above; 4 We, for whom God the Son came down, And labour'd for our Good, How careless to secure that Crown, He purchas'd with his Blood! 5 Lord, shall we lie so sluggish still, And never act our Parts? Come, holy Dove, from heav'nly Hill, And sit and warm our Hearts. 6 Then shall our active Spirits move, Upward our Souls shall rise; With Hands of Faith, and Wings of Love, We'll fly, and take the Prize.

How short and hasty is our Life!

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XXXII (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our Life! How vast our Souls Affairs! Yet senseless Mortals vainly strive To lavish out their Years. 2 Our Days run thoughtlessly along, Without a Moment's Stay, Just like a Story or a Song, We pass our Lives away. 3 God from on high invites us home, But we march heedless on, And ever hast'ning to the Tomb, Stoop downward as we run. 4 How we deserve the deepest Hell, That slight the Joys above! What Chains of Vengeance should we feel, That break such Cords of Love! 5 Draw us, O God, with Sov'reign Grace, And lift our Thoughts on high, That we may end this mortal Race, And see Salvation nigh.
