Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #CCLXVII (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Repent, the voice celestial cries Lyrics: 1 Repent, the voice celestial cries,
Nor longer dare delay:
The wretch that scorns the mandate dies,
And meets a fiery day.
2 No more the sovereign eye of God
O'er looks the crimes of men;
His heralds are dispatch'd abroad
To warn the world of sin.
3 The summons reach thro' all the earth;
Let earth attend and fear:
Listen, ye men of royal birth,
And let your vassals hear.
4 Together in his presence bow,
And all your guilt confess;
Embrace the blessed Savior now,
Nor trifle with his grace.
5 Bow, 'ere the awful trumpet sound,
And call you to his bar;
For mercy knows the appointed bound,
And turns to vengeance there.
6 Amazing love, that yet will call,
And yet prolong our days!
Our hearts subdu'd by goodness fall,
And weep, and love, and praise.
