HYMN 171. What shall we do?

[The First Part.]

O Lord, what shall poor Sinners do
Who dead in sin do lie,
And must eternal sorrow know,
If in that state they die?
O praised be thy holy Name
Thou hast a way found out
To save us from eternal shame,
And life to work about.
O then shall some this day so hear,
That they may Life obtain!
Let them to Jesus Christ draw near,
And so be born again,
Or else they will i'th' Judgment-day
Condemned ever be,
And on them thou wilt thy wrath pour
To all eternity.

337

Then quake and tremble ev'ry one,
And not reject God's Call;
Lest you at last be all undone,
And into Hell do fall.
O thou art good to us, O Lord,
In sending Christ to die;
If Grace thou dost to us afford,
We'll sing continually.

The Second Part.

Who hath made thee differ, &c.

O Lord, we praise thy glorious Name
For distinguishing Love;
Blessed be God Christ hither came
To lift us up above.
We naturally like others were,
Even cursed Foes to thee;
But thou hast made thy Grace appear,
Whilst others darkness be.
Thou hast, O Lord, the difference made,
All is of Grace alone;
Hence we have cause sweetly to sing
To thee the holy One.
O shall thy glorious Work appear?
Lift up thy Name on high,
That Sinners may now ev'ry where
To the Lord Jesus fly.
And as for us, let it be seen
We all converted be,
That so we may thy Praises sing
To all eternity.
