Thou didst the will of Him Who sent Thee from above; Thou sendest us, as He sent Thee, In brotherhood of love. 4.

Sinners In Vain Expect

Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Sinners in vain expect Among the just t’appear; God’s threatening word and flaming sword Forbid an entrance there. 2 Depart, ye hardened race, Heav’n’s lofty gates are barred; Nor can you force a passage through, Or bribe the watchful guard. 3 Time was that Jesus spread His kind inviting arms; But you rejected all His calls, And slighted all His charms. 4 The Savior you despised, Now dooms you down to hell; There with confounding horror seized, ln fiery deeps to dwell. 5 How will your hearts endure? How can your hands be strong, When He shall vengeance take, to whom All vengeance doth belong. Used With Tune: SCHUMANN Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship (London: Burton & Briggs, 1818)
