Ah! guilty sinner, ruined by transgression

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Seventh-Day Adventist Hymn and Tune Book #423 (1886) Topics: The Sinner Warning and Invitation Lyrics: 1 Ah! guilty sinner, ruined by transgression, What will thy doom be when arrayed in terror? God shall command thee, covered with pollution, "Up to the judgment, up to the judgment?" 2 Oft he has called thee, but thou would'st not hear him; Mercies and judgments have alike been slighted; Yet he is gracious, and with arms unfolded Waits to embrace you. 3 But if you trifle with his gracious message, Cleave to the world, and love its guilty pleasures, Mercy, grown weary, will in righteous judgment Leave you forever. 4 Then you shall call, but he will not regard you; Seek for his favor, yet will never find it; Cry to the rocks to hide you from his presence Deep in their caverns. 5 O! guilty sinner, hear the voice of warning; Fly to the Saviour, and embrace his pardon: So shall you meet him, and with joy triumphant, Coming to judgment.

The death of a sinner and the saint

Author: Fawcett Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLIX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Death Of the sinner and saint; Death of the Sinner First Line: What scenes of horror and of dread Lyrics: 1 What scenes of horror and of dread, Await the sinner's dying bed! Death's terrors all appear in sight, Presages of eternal night. 2 His sins in dreadful order rise, And fill his soul with sad surprise; Mount Sinai's thunder stuns his ears, And not one ray of hope appears. 3 Tormenting pangs distract the breast, Where'er he turns, he finds no rest; Death strikes the blow, he groans and cries, And, in despair, and horror, dies. 4 Not so the heir of heavenly bliss; His soul is fill'd with conscious peace; A steady faith subdues his fear; He sees the happy Canaan near. 5 His mind is tranquil and serene, No terrors in his looks are seen; His Savior's smile dispels the gloom, And smooths his passage to the tomb. 6 Lord, make my faith and love sincere, My judgment sound, my conscience clear; And when the toils of life are past, May I be found in peace at last.

The lost Sheep found; or, Joy in Heaven on the Conversion of a Sinner

Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #LXXIX (1792) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Conversion of a sinner First Line: When some kind shepherd from his fold Lyrics: 1 When some kind shepherd from his fold, Has lost a straying sheep, Through vales, o'er hills, he anxious roves, And climbs the mountain's steep. 2 But O the joy! the transport sweet! When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre.

For his judgment stand prepar'd, Thou must either break or bow. 3 At his presence nature shakes, Earth affrighted hastes to flee; Solid mountains melt like wax, What will then become of thee? 4 Who his advent may abide? You that glory in your shame, Will you find a place to hide, When the world is wrapped in flame? 5 Lord, prepare us by thy grace! Soon we must resign our breath, And our souls be call'd to pass Through the iron gate of death. 6 Let us now our day improve, Listen to the gospel voice: Seek the things that are above; Scorn the world's pretended joys.
