Hymn 216

Hark, sinner, while God from on high doth entreat thee

Meter: 6.5.6.5.D.

Scripture: Jeremiah 8:20

1

Hark, sinner, while God

From on high doth entreat thee,

And warnings with accents of mercy

Doth blend;

Give ear to His voice,

Lest in judgement He meet thee;

“The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”

2

The Saviour is calling thee

From perdition way,

He is calling thee with the voice of

Mercy;

Make haste now and be cover’d

Under His love,

“The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”

3

How oft of thy danger

And guilt he hath told thee,

How oft still the message of mercy

Doth send;

Haste, haste, while he waits in his

Arms to enfold thee,

“The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”

4

Despised and rejected,

At length he may leave thee,

What anguish and horror thy bosom

Will rend;

Then haste thee, O sinner, while He

Will receive thee,

“The harvest is passing, the summer will end.”

5

The Saviour will call thee

In judgement before him,

Oh, bow to his sceptre, and make

Him thy friend;

Now yield Him thy heart and make

Haste to adore Him,

“Thy harvest is passing thy summer will end.”
