Lyics

SHALL God invite you from above?

Shall Jesus urge his dying love?

Shall troubled conscience give you pain?

And all these pleas unite in vain?



Not so your eyes will always view

Those objects which you now pursue:

Not so will heaven and hell appear,

When death's decisive hour is near.



Almighty God! thy grace impart;

Fix deep conviction on each heart:

Nor let us waste on trifling cares

That life which thy compassion spares.
