James Montgomery • English

Primary Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20

Verse 1

Is summer ended,--harvest past, And I not sav'd?--God of grace, Thy covenant yet standeth fast, Still Thy command is--"Seek my face."

Verse 2

Ah! now or never may I call On Thy great Name, through Christ, Thy Son; This hour, this moment, I might fall,-- Fall, and for ever be undone.

Verse 4

Verse 5

Thine own Almightiness is mine, When wrestling thus in prayer with Thee; Through Christ's atonement, I am Thine; Now let me Thy salvation see,
