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!
I made haste

I made haste
A sinner lamenting the delay of divine grace
Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CLXIX (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Sinner Lamenting delay of grace; Sinner Lamenting delay of grace First Line: Long have I walk'd this dreary road Lyrics: 1 Long have I walk'd this dreary road,
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
To overthrow Messiah's reign?
2 Their strength is weakness in the sight
Of him who sits enthroned above;
He speaks, and judgments fall on them
Who tempt his wrath and scorn his love.
3 By God's decree his Son receives
The nations for his heritage;
The conqu'ring Christ supreme shall reign
As King of kings, from age to age.
4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth,
And serve the Lord with godly fear;
With rev'rent joy confess the Son
While yet in mercy he is near.
5 Delay not, lest his anger rise,
And ye should perish in your way;
Lo, all that put their trust in him
Are blest indeed, and blest for aye.
Amen. Scripture: Psalm 2 Tune Title: UXBRIDGE

For Jerusalem below,
