From Calvary a cry was heard

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Calvary a cry was heard, A bitter and heart-rending cry; My Saviour! every mournful word Bespeaks Thy soul’s deep agony. 2 The scourge, the thorns, the deep disgrace-- These Thou couldst bear, nor once repine; But when Jehovah veil'd His face, Unutterable pangs were Thine. 3 Let the dumb world its silence break; Let pealing anthems rend the sky; Awake, my sluggish soul, awake! He died, that we might never die. 4 Lord! on Thy cross I fix mine eye: If e’er I lose its strong control, Oh, let that dying, piercing cry Melt and reclaim my wand'ring soul.

And am I only born to die?

Appears in 124 hymnals Lyrics: 1 And am I only born to die? And must I suddenly comply With nature’s stern decree? What after death for me remains? Celestial joys, or hellish pains, To all eternity. 2 How then ought I on earth to live, While God prolongs the kind reprieve, And props the house of clay; My sole concern, my single care, To watch, and tremble, and prepare Against the fatal day! 3 No room for mirth or trifling here, For worldly hope, or worldly fear, If life so soon is gone; If now the judge is at the door, And all mankind must stand before The inexorable throne! 4 Nothing is worth a thought beneath, But how I may escape the death That never, never dies! How make mine own election sure; And when I fail on earth, secure A mansion in the skies. 5 Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray, Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way To glorious happiness. Ah! write the pardon on my heart; And whensoe’er I hence depart, Let me depart in peace.
