CCCIX. An immediate Attention to GOD's Voice required.
From Hymns founded on various Texts in the Holy Scriptures (1755)
THE LORD Jehovah calls,
Be ev'ry Ear inclin'd;
May such a Voice awake each Heart,
And captivate the Mind.
If He in Thunder speaks,
Earth trembles at his Nod;
But gentle Accents here proclaim
The condescending GOD.
O harden not your Hearts,
But hear his Voice To-day;
Lest, e'er To-morrow's earliest Dawn,
He call your Souls away.
Almighty GOD, pronounce
The Word of conqu'ring Grace;
So shall the Flint dissolve to Tears,
And Scorners seek thy Face.
