And not a single soul escape His all-discerning eyes? 2 And from his righteous lips Shall this dread sentence sound; And through the numerous guilty throng, Spread black despair around? 3 "Depart from me, accurs'd, "To everlasting flame, "For rebel angels first prepar'd, "Where mercy never came." 4 How will my heart endure The terrors of that day: When earth and heav'n, before his face, Astonish'd shrink away? 5 But ere that trumpet shakes The mansions of the dead; Hark, from the gospel's cheering sound, What joyful tidings spread! 6 Ye sinners, eek his grace, Whose wrath ye cannot bear; Fly to the shelter of his cross, And find salvation there. 7 So shall that curse remove By which the Saviour bled; And the last awful day shall pour His blessings on your head.

The Spirit, the water, and the blood

Hymnal: HSoH1802 #CCCXXXVII (1802) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Let all our tongues be one Lyrics: 1 Let all our tongues be one To praise our God on high, Who from his bosom sent his Son To fetch us strangers nigh. 2 Nor let our voices cease To sing the Saviour's name; Jesus, th' Ambassador of peace, How cheerfully he came! 3 It cost him cries and tears To bring us near to God; Great was our debt, and he appears To make the payment good. 4 My Saviour's pierced side Pour'd down a double flood; By water we are purify'd, And pardon'd by the blood. 5 Infinite was our guilt, But he, our Priest, atones; On the cold ground his life was spilt, And offer'd with his groans. 6 Look up, my soul, to him Whose death was thy desert, And humbly view the living stream Flow from his breaking heart. 7 There, on the cursed tree, In dying pangs he lies, Fulfils his Father's great decree, And all our wants supplies. 8 Thus the Redeemer came By water and by blood; And when the Spirit speaks the same, We feel his witness good. 9 While the eternal Three Their record bear above, Here I believe he dy'd for me, And seal my Saviour's love. 10 Lord, cleanse my soul from sin Nor let thy grace depart: Great Comforter! abide within, And witness to mine heart.

How can I dare to venture nigh With such a load of sin? 2 Is this polluted heart A dwelling fit for thee? Swarming, alas! in ev'ry part, What evils do i see! 3 If I attempt to pray, And raise my soul on high, My thoughts are hurry'd fast away, For sin is ever nigh. 4 If in thy word I look, Such darkness fills my mind, I only read a sealed book, But no relief can find. 5 Thy gospel oft I hear, But hear it still in vain; Without desire,or love, or hear, Harden'd I still remain. 6 And must I then indeed Sink in despair and die? Fain would I hope that thou didst bleed For such a wretch as I. 7 That blood which thou hast spilt, That grace which is thine own; Can cleanse the vilest sinner's guilt, And soften hearts of stone. 8 Low at thy feet I bow, O pity and forgive! Here will I lie and wait till thou Shalt bid me rise and live. Topics: Sin Complained of Languages: English
