The time is short sinners!--sinners, beware!

Author: Anon. Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #911 (1873) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 The time is short!--sinners, beware! Nor trifle time away; The word of great salvation hear, While yet 'tis called to-day. 2 The time is short!--O sinners, now To Christ the Lord submit; To mercy's golden scepter bow, And fall at Jesus' feet. 3 The time is short!--ye saints, rejoice, The Lord will quickly come: Soon shall you hear the Saviour's voice, To call you to your home. 4 The time is short!--it swiftly flies-- The hour is just at hand, When we shall mount above the skies, And reach the wished-for land. 5 The time is short!--the moment near, When we shall dwell above; And be for ever happy there, With Jesus, whom we love.

Person Name: Anon. Author of "The time is short!--sinners, beware" in A Collection of Hymns, for the use of the United Brethren in Christ In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.

Joseph Hoskins

1745 - 1788 Author of "The time is short sinners beware" Hoskins, Joseph, was born in 1745, but at what place is unknown. He was a Congregational Minister, who for ten years laboured with great success at Castle Green Chapel, Bristol, and died Sept. 28, 1788, aged 43. During the three years previous to his death ho had written 384 hymns, which in the year following, after correction and revision, were published by Messrs. Moody & Bottomley, Congregational Ministers. The book is entitled, Hymns on Select Texts of Scripture and Occasional Subjects (Bristol, 1789). From this work the following hymns are in common use:— 1. Alas! my [the] Lord my Life is gone. Spiritual darkness and death. 2. Great Light of life, Thou nature's Lord. God, the True Light. 3. In Thy great Name, 0 Lord, we come. Divine Worship. 4. 0 how the hearts of those revive. Joy in Salvation. 5. Prisoners of sin and Satan too. Hope. 6. Saviour of sinners, deign to shine. Christ's light desired. 7. The time is short, ere all that live. Shortness of Time. Hoskins's hymns are said to have been greatly esteemed by his friends and hearers, but they have little poetic merit. [Rev. W. R.
