Hasten, O sinner, to be wise
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #285 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Delay of Repentance Lyrics: 1 Hasten, O sinner, to be wise,
And stay not for the morrow's sun;
The longer wisdom you despise,
The harder is she to be won.
2 Oh, hasten, mercy to implore,
And stay not for the morrow's sun,
For fear thy season should be o'er
Before this evening's course be run.
3 Hasten, O sinner, to return,
And stay not for the morrow's sun,
For fear thy lamp should fail to burn
Before the needful work is done.
4 Hasten, O sinner, to be blest,
And stay not for the morrow's sun,
For fear the curse should thee arrest
Before the morrow is begun. Languages: English

And joy, like the sunshine, shall beam on thy road;

And he shall be with thee when fears are abroad;
Thy Safeguard in danger that threatens thy path;
Thy Joy in the valley and shadow of death. Scripture: Job 22:21 Languages: English Tune Title: GAYLORD
Job 22:21
How short and hasty is our life!
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #287 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Delay of Repentance 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 downwards 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 Saviour, with Thy grace,
And lift our thoughts on high,
That we may end this mortal race,
And see salvation nigh. Languages: English
How short and hasty is our life!
Religion is the chief concern
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #291 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Delay of Repentance Lyrics: 1 Religion is the chief concern
Of mortals here below:
May I its great importance learn,
Its sovereign virtue know!
2 More needful this, than glitt'ring wealth,
Or aught the world bestows;
Nor reputation, food or health,
Can give us such repose.
3 Religion should our thoughts engage,
Amidst our youthful bloom;
'Twill fit us for declining age,
And for the awful tomb.
4 Oh, may my heart, by grace renew'd,
Be my Redeemer's throne;
And be my stubborn will subdued,
His government to own.
5 Let deep repentance, faith, and love
Be join'd with godly fear;
And all my conversation prove
My heart to be sincere.

There is a time, we know not when
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #295 (1870) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Delay of Repentance Lyrics: 1 There is a time, we know not when,
A point, we know not where,
That marks the destiny of men
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 Oh, where is this mysterious bourn,
By which our path is cross'd?
Beyond which, God Himself hath sworn,
That he who goes is lost.
4 How far may we go on in sin?
How long will God forbear?
Where does hope end, and where begin
The confines of despair?
5 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
There is a time, we know not when
Life is the time to serve the Lord
Hymnal: Book of Worship (Rev. ed.) #297 (1870) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Delay of Repentance Lyrics: 1 Life is the time to serve the Lord,
The time t'ensure the great reward;
And while the lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest sinner may return.
2 Life is the hour that God has given
To ’scape from hell and fly to heaven;
The day of grace, and mortals may
Secure the blessings of the day.
3 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.
4 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. Languages: English
Life is the time to serve the Lord
Comfort, Comfort Ye My People
Author: Johannes Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Psalter Hymnal #298 (2018) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people,
speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
comfort those who sit in darkness,
mourning 'neath their sorrow's load.
Speak ye to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
tell her that her sins I cover,
and her warfare now is over.
2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon,
blotting out each dark misdeed;
all that well deserved his anger
he no more will see or heed.
She hath suffered many a day,
now her griefs have passed away;
God will change her pining sadness
into ever-springing gladness.
3 For the herald's voice is crying
in the desert far and near,
bidding all men to repentance,
since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
let the valleys rise to meet him,
and the hills bow down to greet him.
4 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
make the rougher places plain;
let your hearts be true and humble,
as befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
now o'er earth is shed abroad;
and all flesh shall see the token
that his word is never broken. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-5 Languages: English Tune Title: GENEVAN 42 (THIRSTING)

Come, sinners, to the gospel feast
Author: C. Wesley, 1707-1788 Hymnal: Methodist Hymn and Tune Book #306 (1917) Topics: Delay Lyrics: 1 Come, sinners, to the gospel feast,
Let every soul be Jesus' guest;
Ye need not one be left behind,
For God hath bidden all mankind.
2 Sent by my Lord, on you I call,
The invitation is to all;
Come, all the world; come, sinner, thou;
All things in Christ are ready now.
3 Come, all ye souls by sin opprest,
Ye restless wanderers after rest,
Ye poor, and maimed, and halt, and blind,
In Christ a hearty welcome find.
4 My message as from God receive;
Ye all may come to Christ, and live;
O let His love your hearts constrain,
Nor suffer Him to die in vain!
5 His love is mighty to compel;
His conquering love consent to feel;
Yield to His love's resistless power,
And fight against your God no more. Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

Great God, What Do I See and Hear!
Author: Anonymous; William B. Collyer; Thomas Cotterill Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #321 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Danger of Delay First Line: Great God, what do I see and hear Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear
on clouds of glory seated!
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
the dead which they contained before:
prepare, my soul, to meet him.
2 The dead in Christ shall first arise,
at the last trumpet's sounding,
caught up to meet him in the skies,
with joy their Lord surrounding;
no gloomy fears their souls dismay;
his presence sheds eternal day
on those prepared to meet him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
behold his wrath prevailing;
for they shall rise, and find their tears
and sighs are unavailing:
the day of grace is past and gone;
trembling they stand before the throne,
all unprepared to meet him.
4 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear
on clouds of glory seated!
Beneath his cross I view the day
when heav'n and earth shall pass away,
and thus prepare to meet him.
