Religion

CCCIX. An immediate Attention to GOD's Voice required.

by Philip Doddridge 1702–1751

From Hymns founded on various Texts in the Holy Scriptures (1755)

Religion

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.
