Song of the Lost Soul

Author: W. E. Penn Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Alas, alas, my day is pass'd! Lyrics: 1. Alas, alas, my day is pass'd! My day of grace is gone; And I am left sorely distrest, A wanderer forlorn! What can I do, where can I go? Ah! whether can I fly? For I am lost, forever lost! No God to hear my cry. 2. I cannot tell how oft, how well The warnings have been given; But this I know, ah, yes, I know That I rejected heaven. Oh, awful tho't it comes unsought That oft did God invite, And whispered, "Come, for yet there's room" But I that voice did slight. 3. And now I know, ah, yes, I know I am forever lost! No Saviour nigh to hear my cry, My soul is tempest tossed! My sinner friends, there's no amends, No Saviour in the grave; I warn you now, to Jesus bow, That He your souls may save.
