God Hath Commanded All Men Every Where to Repent

Verse 1

Repent, the voice celestial cries, Nor longer dare delay; The soul that scorns the mandate dies, And meets the wrathful day.

Verse 2

No more the sovereign eye of God O'erlooks the crimes of men; His heralds now are sent abroad, To warn the world of sin.

Verse 3

O sinner! in his presence bow, And all your guilt confess; Accept the offer'd Saviour now, Nor trifle with his grace.

Verse 4

Soon will the awful trumpet sound, And call you to his bar; For mercy knows th' appointed bound, And yields to vengeance there.

Verse 5

Oh! hear the Saviour's gracious call, While he prolongs your days; Now yield your hearts, and prostrate fall, And weep, and love, and praise.
