O Hark Unto The Sounding Bell

Author: Paul B. Henkel Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #12644 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O hark unto the sounding bell, What doth each stroke of tolling tell? ’Tis news to each attentive ear, Some one is fitted for the bier. 2 Since death is licensed here to rage Without respect to any age; The hoary head, and youth in bloom, Depart to their eternal home. 3 Death with an uncontrollèd force, Will take his way and have his course; Infectious air and pestilence Are not repulsed by man’s defense. 4 They who had thought the world their own Are with the meanest class cut down; Both king and princes have to die. And lay their pow’rs and honors by. 5 This is our just reward indeed, What can we say, what can we plead? Were we not warned, and warned again? But all we heard, we heard in vain. 6 But now we feel, we learn to fear, God’s threatened punishments are here: What can we do, but plead and pray, That God may turn His wrath away?

O Hark! unto the sounding bell

Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CLVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 O Hark! unto the sounding bell, What doth each stroke of tolling tell: 'Tis news to each attentive ear, Some one is fitted for the bier. 2 Since death is licens'd here to rage Without respect to any age; The hoary head, and youth in bloom, Depart to their eternal home. 3 Death with an uncontrolled force, Will take his way and have his course; Infectious air and pestilence, Are not repuls'd by man's defence. 4 They who had thought the world their own, Are with the meanest class cut down; Both King and Princes have to die, And lay their pow'rs and honours by. 5 This is our just reward indeed, What can we say, what an we plead? Were we not warn'd, and warn'd again; But all we heard, we heard in vain. 6 But now we feel, we learn to fear, God's threat'ned punishments are here; What can we do, but plead and pray, That God may turn his wrath away.
