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 given T'escape from hell and fly to heaven; The day of grace,-and mortals may Secure the blessings of the day. 8 Then what my thoughts design to do, In the cold grave to which we haste; Is the Redeemer's great command: Nature must count her gold but dross, If she would gain this heavenly land. The fearful soul that tires and faints, And walks the ways of God no more, Is but esteemed almost a saint, And makes his own destruction sure. 4. Lord! let not all my hopes be vain; Create my heart entirely new; Which hypocrites could ne'er attain; Which false apostates never knew 1. DEEP are the wounds which sin has made; Where shall the sinner find a cure? In vain, alas, is nature's aid; The work exceeds all nature's power. 2. And can no sovereign balm be found? And is no kind physician nigh, To ease the pain and heal the wound, Ere life and hope forever fly? 3. There is a great physician near, Look up, O fainting soul, and live; See, in his heavenly smiles appear Such ease as nature cannot give! 4. See, in the Saviour's dying blood, Life, health, and bliss abundant flow! 'Tis only this dear sacred flood Can ease thy pain, and heal thy woe. |
