Tekel; of the sinner weighed in the balance, and found wanting

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CLXVIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye Lyrics: 1 Raise, thoughtless sinner, raise thine eye; Behold God's balance lifted high; There shall his justice be display'd, And there thy hope and life be weigh'd. 2 See in one scale his perfect law; Mark with what force its precepts draw; Wouldst thou the awful test sustain, Thy works how light! thy thoughts how vain! 3 Behold the hand of God appears To trace in dreadful characters; "Sinner, thy soul, is wanting found, "And wrath shall smite thee to the ground." 4 Let sudden fear thy nerves unbrace; And horror change thy guilty face, Thro' all thy thoughts let anguish roll, Till deep repentance melt thy soul. 5 One only hope may yet prevail; Christ hath a weight to turn the scale; Still doth the gospel publish peace, And show a Saviour's righteousness. 6 Great God, exert thy pow'r to save; Deep on the heart, these truths engrave; The pond'rous load of guilt remove, That trembling lips may sing thy love.
