O hark, unto the sounding bell
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book . 3rd ed. #d375 (1850) Hymnal Title: Church Hymn Book . 3rd ed. Languages: English
O hark, unto the sounding bell
O Hark! unto the sounding bell
Hymnal: Church Hymn Book #CLVI (1816) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: Church Hymn Book 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. Topics: Fast Day in time of Distress Scripture: Numbers 16:44-50 Languages: English
