[Watchman of Israel I]
Wherefore I take you to record this day, &c.
—xx. 26.
Watchman of Israel I,
The gospel trumpet bear,
With loud alarming cry
A coming sword declare!
Set on the city walls I am,
And sinners warn in Jesus' name.
The gospel trumpet bear,
376
A coming sword declare!
Set on the city walls I am,
And sinners warn in Jesus' name.
The counsel of the Lord
The gracious will I show:
But all shall feel His sword
Who Christ refuse to know:
Only of faith salvation comes;
But infidels His wrath consumes.
The gracious will I show:
But all shall feel His sword
Who Christ refuse to know:
Only of faith salvation comes;
But infidels His wrath consumes.
His mind reveal'd I tell
That all should turn and live,
The quickening principle,
The saving faith receive,
And then His utmost counsel prove,
And then go on to perfect love.
That all should turn and live,
The quickening principle,
The saving faith receive,
And then His utmost counsel prove,
And then go on to perfect love.
On this accepted day
(Witness, ye sinners, bear)
I preach the Truth, the Way,
The Life of souls declare,
I publish now His whole design
To save a world by grace Divine.

I publish now His whole design
To save a world by grace Divine.
If now ye hear in vain,
Your proffer'd Lord neglect,
Or saved from sin, again
His pardoning grace reject,
And die in your iniquity,
Ye cannot charge your death on me.

Or saved from sin, again

And die in your iniquity,
Ye cannot charge your death on me.
Pure from the blood of all,
The servant of my God,
I every sinner call
To faith in Jesus' blood,
Peace, universal peace proclaim,
And heaven for all in Jesus' name!
The servant of my God,
I every sinner call
To faith in Jesus' blood,
377
And heaven for all in Jesus' name!
