Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CXLVIII (1791) Lyrics: 1 Know, ye that are of Adams Race,
That God hath call'd you by his Grace;
And has proclaim'd his Gospel loud,
For to give Warning to the Proud,
2 Ye youthful Virgins stop, and pause,
And think upon your Sav'ours Laws;
Let not your Life which God has lent,
Alone in Vanity be spent.
3 Awake to Thought! ye tender Souls,
And think, alas! we are but Fools,
To Spend our Time, which ends in Strife,
And lose this glorious Scene of Life.
4 Your Life to God must be resign'd;
Your Mind in Jesus be confin'd;
For Word and Action must agree,
If Jesus Christ shall set you free.
5 That Servant Form you must put on,
And think that Christ's before me gone,
He is the Way, the Truth, and Life,
Therefore forsake this World of Strife. Topics: liturgical Songs of Response; Invitation to Praise and Repentance Languages: English
