Vain Man, Thy Fond Pursuits Forbear

Author: Joseph Hart Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 225 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Vain man, thy fond pursuits forbear— Repent, thine end is nigh; Death at the farthest can’t be far: Oh! think before thou die. 2 Reflect, thou hast a soul to save; Thy sins, how high they mount! What are thy hopes beyond the grave? How stands that dark account? 3 Death enters, and there’s no defense; His time there’s none can tell; He’ll in a moment call thee hence, To Heaven, or to hell. 4 Thy flesh, perhaps thy greatest care, Shall crawling worms consume; But, ah! destruction stops not there; Sin kills beyond the tomb. 5 Today, the Gospel calls, today, Sinners, it speaks to you; Let every one forsake his way, And mercy will ensue. 6 Rich mercy, dearly bought with blood, How vile soe’er he be; Abundant pardon, peace with God, All giv’n entirely free.

The Castle Of The Human Heart

Author: John Newton Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The castle of the human heart Strong in its native sin, Is guarded well, in every part, By him who dwells within. 2 For Satan there, in arms, resides, And calls the place his own; With care against assaults provides, And rules, as on a throne. 3 Each traitor thought on him, as chief, In blind obedience waits; And pride, self-will, and unbelief, Are posted at the gates. 4 Thus Satan for a season reigns, And keeps his goods in peace; The soul is pleased to wear his chains, Nor wishes a release. 5 But Jesus, stronger far than he, In His appointed hour Appears, to set His people free From the usurper’s power. 6 "This heart I bought with blood," He says, "And now it shall be Mine." His voice the strong one armed dismays, He knows he must resign. 7 In spite of unbelief and pride, And self, and Satan’s art; The gates of brass fly open wide, And Jesus wins the heart. 8 The rebel soul that once withstood The Savior’s kindest call; Rejoices now, by grace subdued, To serve Him with her all. Used With Tune: CLAUDIUS Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London, W. Oliver, 1779), Book 1
