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

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 judgment he meet thee,"The harvest is passing, the summer will end."

Refrain

The harvest is passing, the summer will end;The harvest is passing, the summer will end.

2

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."

3

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."

4

Ere long, and Jehovah will come in his power;Our God will arise, with his foes to contend;Haste, haste thee, O sinner! prepare for that hour!"The harvest is passing, the summer will end."

5

The Saviour will call thee in judgment before him;O, bow to his scepter, and make him thy friend!Now yield him thy heart, and make haste to adore him;Thy harvest is passing, thy summer will end.
