Ye careless souls will ye delay!
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CCLXXIV (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Delay of Repentance Lyrics: 1 Ye careless souls will ye delay!
And trifle precious time away;
Why will ye spend your days of grace
In vanity and idleness?
2 Why will ye forfeit future joys?
For sale of mean and empty toys;
And slight that which would make you blest,
And place your souls in peace to rest.
3 Will ye abuse what God doth give?
The precious time wherein ye live;
The time wherein ye may secure,
Your happiness for evermore.
4 Who would neglect to gain the prize,
When all at hand before one's eyes:
And yet neglect and still delay,
Until the prize be took away.
5 Such is the case with careless souls,
They act the part of stupid fools;
They forfeit life, they forfeit heav'n,
That freely would to them be giv'n.
6 To day, while ye do hear his voice,
Let his great offers by your choice;
Let your repentance be sincere,
To call on God while he is near.
7 Delays are dangerous you know;
Your heart and conscience tell you so;
Much better you would watch and pray,
Than trifle precious time away. Languages: English
Ye careless souls will ye delay!

Beset with darkness round;
Nor seen nor heard a smiling God,
Nor one bright moment found.
2 Others, who once did join my speech,
And mourn'd in painful lay,
Now mounting up with rapture, stretch
To seize the heav'nly day.
3 Far left behind to feel my woe,
With harden'd heart to groan,
Each pray'r, each struggle sinks me low,
Each breath repeats my moan.
4 The lengthen'd day, the gloomy night,
Draw fast the bands of grief;
Sometimes despair o'erclouds my sight,
And says, there's no relief.
5 Then conscience thunders, Sinai flames,
I try again to rise;
The trial fails, and conscience blames
My pray'rs, my tears, my cries.
6 If hope perchance a moment gleams,
And says, Christ's blood was split;
My heart of sin beclouds the beams,
And seals my death and guilt.
7 'Tis thus perplex'd, forlorn and lost,
I spend my weary days;
No Jesus comes my hopes are crost,
While others sing and praise.

O wherefore do the nations rage
Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #227 (1961) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 O wherefore do the nations rage,
And kings and rulers strive in vain,
Against the Lord of earth and heav'n

Of him who sits enthroned above;

Who tempt his wrath and scorn his love.

The nations for his heritage;
The conqu'ring Christ supreme shall reign
As King of kings, from age to age.

And serve the Lord with godly fear;
With rev'rent joy confess the Son
While yet in mercy he is near.

And ye should perish in your way;
Lo, all that put their trust in him
Are blest indeed, and blest for aye.

Life is the Time to serve the Lord
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXVIII (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 Life is the Time to serve the Lord,
The Time t' insure the great Reward;
And while the Lamp holds out to burn,
The vilest Sinner may return.
[2 Life is the Hour that God has giv'n
To 'scape from Hell, and fly to Heav'n;
The Day of Grace, and Mortals may
Secure the Blessings of the Day.]
3 The Living know that they must die,
But all the Dead forgotten lie;
Their Mem'ry and their Sense is gone,
Alike unknowing and unknown.
[4 Their Hatred and their Love is lost,
Their Envy buried in the Dust;
They have no Share in all that's done
Beneath the Circuit of the Sun.]
5 Then what my Thoughts design to do,
My Hands with all your Might pursue,
Since no Device, nor Work is found,
Nor Faith, nor Hope, beneath the Ground.
6 There are no Acts of Pardon past
In the cold Grave, to which we haste;
But Darkness, Death, and long Despair,
Reign in eternal Silence there.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:4-6 Languages: English

Ye Sons of Adam, vain and young
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.LXXXIX (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 Ye Sons of Adam, vain and young,
Indulge your Eyes, indulge your Tongue,
Taste the Delights your Souls desire,
And give a Loose to all your Fire;
2 Pursue the Pleasures you design,
And cheer your Hearts with Songs and Wine;
Enjoy the Day of Mirth, but know,
There is a Day of Judgment too.
3 God from on high beholds your Thoughts,
His Book records your secret Faults;
The Works of Darkness, you have done,
Must all appear before the Sun.
4 The Vengeance to your Follies due,
Should strike your Hearts with Terror through:
How will you stand before his Face,
Or answer for his injur'd Grace?
4 Almighty God, turn off their Eyes
From these alluring Vanities;
And let the Thunder of thy Word
Awake their Souls to fear the Lord. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 11:9 Languages: English
Ye Sons of Adam, vain and young
Lo the young Tribes of Adam rise
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XC (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 Lo, the young tribes of Adam rise,
And through all Nature rove,
Fulfil the Wishes of their Eyes,
And taste the Joys they love.
2 They give a Loose to wild Desires;
But let the Sinners know
The strict Account that God requires
Of all the Works they do.
3 The Judge prepares his Throne on high,
The frighted Earth and Seas
Avoid the fury of his Eye,
And flee before his Face.

And stand the fiery Test?
I give all mortal Joys away,

Hymnal: The Psalms of David #I.XCI (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 Now, in the Heat of youthful Blood,
Remember your Creator God;
Behold the Months come hast'ning on,
When you shall say, My Joys are gone.
2 Behold, the aged Sinner goes,
Laden with Guilt and heavy Woes,
Down to the Regions of the Dead,
With endless Curses on his Head.
3 The Dust returns to Dust again;
The Soul, in Agonies of Pain,
Ascends to God, not there to dwell,
But hears her Doom, and sinks to Hell.
4 Eternal King, I fear thy Name,
Teach me to know how frail I am;
And when my Soul must hence remove,
Give me a Mansion in thy Love. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:1 Languages: English

Nothing has half thy Work to do,
Yet Nothing's half so dull.
2 The little Ants for one poor Grain
Labour, and tug, and strive,
Yet we, who have a Heav'n t' obtain,
How negligent we live?
3 We, for whose Sake all Nature stands,
And Stars their Courses move;
We, for whose Guard the Angel Bands
Come flying from above;
4 We, for whom God the Son came down,
And labour'd for our Good,
How careless to secure that Crown,
He purchas'd with his Blood!
5 Lord, shall we lie so sluggish still,
And never act our Parts?
Come, holy Dove, from heav'nly Hill,
And sit and warm our Hearts.
6 Then shall our active Spirits move,
Upward our Souls shall rise;
With Hands of Faith, and Wings of Love,
We'll fly, and take the Prize. Languages: English
My drowsy Pow'rs, why sleep ye so?
How short and hasty is our Life!
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #II.XXXII (1766) Topics: Delay of Conversion Lyrics: 1 How short and hasty is our Life!
How vast our Souls Affairs!
Yet senseless Mortals vainly strive
To lavish out their Years.
2 Our Days run thoughtlessly along,
Without a Moment's Stay,
Just like a Story or a Song,
We pass our Lives away.
3 God from on high invites us home,
But we march heedless on,
And ever hast'ning to the Tomb,
Stoop downward as we run.
4 How we deserve the deepest Hell,
That slight the Joys above!
What Chains of Vengeance should we feel,
That break such Cords of Love!
5 Draw us, O God, with Sov'reign Grace,
And lift our Thoughts on high,
That we may end this mortal Race,
And see Salvation nigh. Languages: English
How short and hasty is our Life!

But when my foot had almost slipped,

Thy comforts, Lord, bring joy to me;
Can wickedness, though throned in might,
Have fellowship, O Lord, with thee?

Against the righteous join their power,
But to the Lord I flee for help,
He is my Refuge and my Tower.

Author: Johannes Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #148 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye my people,
Speak ye peace, thus saith our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrow's load.
Speak ye to Jerusalem
Of the peace that waits for them;
Tell her that her sins I cover,
And her warfare now is over.
2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon,
Blotting out each dark misdeed;
All that well deserved his anger
He no more will see or heed.
She hath suffered many a day
Now her griefs have passed away;
God will change her pining sadness
Into ever-springing gladness.
3 For the herald's voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance,
Since the kingdom now is here.
O that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
Let the valleys rise to meet him,
And the hills bow down to greet him.
4 Make ye straight what long was crooked,
Make the rougher places plain;
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
Now o'er earth is shed abroad;
And all flesh shall see the token,
That his word is never broken.

Comfort, comfort ye my people
Days and moments quickly flying
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #152 (1898) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Days and moments quickly flying
Speed us onward to the dead;
Oh, how soon shall we be lying
Each within his narrow bed!
2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer,
Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice;
Wake, oh, wake each idle dreamer
Now to make the eternal choice!
3 Mark me whither we are wending;
Ponder how we soon must go
To inherit bliss unending,
Or eternity of woe.
4 As a shadow life is fleeting;
As a vapor so it flies:
For the bygone years retreating,
Pardon grant, and make us wise;
5 Wise that we our days may number,
Strive and wrestle with our sin;
Stay not in our work, nor slumber
Till Thy holy rest we win. Languages: English Tune Title: LONGING FOR HEAVEN

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #197 (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Come, ye sinners, poor and needy,
Weak and wounded, sick and sore;
Jesus ready stands to save you,
Full of pity, love, and power;
He is able,
He is able,
He is willing: doubt no more.
2 Let not conscience make you linger,
Nor of fitness fondly dream;
All the fitness He requireth
Is to feel your need of Him;
This he gives you;
This he gives you;
'Tis the Spirit's rising beam.
3 Come, ye weary, heavy-laden,
Lost and ruined by the fall;
If you tarry till you're better,
You will never come at all.
Not the righteous,
Not the righteous,
Sinners, Jesus came to call.
4 View Him prostrate in the garden,
Lo! your Maker prostrate lies;
On the bloody tree behold Him;
Hear Him cry before He dies:
"It is finished!"
"It is finished!"
Sinner, will not this suffice?
5 Lo! th' incarnate God ascended
Pleads the merit of His blood;
Venture on Him, venture wholly,
Let no other trust intrude:
None but Jesus,
None but Jesus,
Can do helpless sinners good. Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION

Great God, what do I see and hear!
Author: Thomas Cotterill; Anon.; William B. Collyer Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #240 (1961) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7 Topics: Danger of Delay Lyrics: 1 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear
On clouds of glory seated!
The trumpet sounds; the graves restore
The dead which they contained before:
Prepare, my soul, to meet him.
2 The dead in Christ shall first arise,
At the last trumpet's sounding,
Caught up to meet him in the skies,
With joy their Lord surrounding;
No gloomy fears their souls dismay;
His presence sheds eternal day
On those prepared to meet him.
3 But sinners, filled with guilty fears,
Behold his wrath prevailing;
For they shall rise, and find their tears
And sighs are unavailing:
The day of grace is past and gone;
Trembling they stand before the throne,
All unprepared to meet him.
4 Great God, what do I see and hear!
The end of things created!
The Judge of mankind doth appear
On clouds of glory seated!
Beneath his cross I view the day
When heav'n and earth shall pass away,
And thus prepare to meet him.
Amen. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 Languages: English Tune Title: LUTHER'S HYMN
Great God, what do I see and hear!
