Awake! the Watchman Crieth

Author: Frans Mikael Franzen; Augustus Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1-2 Lyrics: 1 Awake! the watchman crieth, On Zion's ramparts still! The Lord His grace supplieth, Repent, and heed His will. Life's journey fast is nearing The ever-lasting shore; The hour of death appearing, When time shall be no more. 2 Too late the sinners waken Where morn hath ceased to dawn; Where grace that was forsaken Is evermore withdrawn; Where's heard no praying sentence God's mercy to implore; For there is no repentance, When time shall be no more. 3 O souls who spurn salvation! See this eternity Of darkness, desolation, And constant agony. The torments none can banish, Nor aught can peace restore; And hope itself shall vanish, When time shall be no more! 4 Awake! the voice still soundeth; 'Tis now the accepted hour; The grace of God aboundeth To save from sin's dread power. Make haste, implore Christ's favor, Thy sins confess, and bow Before Thy Lord and Saviour; The accepted time is now. Amen.

Should we receive that grace in vain

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:1-10 Lyrics: 1 Should we receive that grace in vain, That precious gift of God; And serve our former lusts again, And slight the Saviours blood. 2 Should we refuse to watch and pray, And loose what we have gain'd? That would be casting Christ away, And all his love disdain'd. 3 The Lord was pleas'd our pray'rs to hear In the accepted hour: Now is the time to persevere, And use the Saviour's pow'r. 4 As faithful servants of the Lord, Ourselves we must approve-- Attend unto his precious word, With pure unfeigned Love. 5 To bear assaults on ev'ry hand, And yet now be dismay'd; Confirm'd in Christ by faith to stand, Supported by his aid.
