The tolling Bell

Author: Newton Hymnal: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns #CXC (1793) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: A Collection of Evangelical Hymns First Line: Oft as the bell, with solemn toll Lyrics: 1 Oft as the bell, with solemn toll, Speaks the departure of a soul, Let each one ask himself, "Am I Prepar'd, should I be call'd to die?" 2 Only this frail and fleeting breath Preserves me with the jaws of death; Soon as it fails, at once I'm gone, And plung'd into a world unknown. 3 Then, leaving all I lov'd below, To God's tribunal I must go; Must hear the Judge pronounce my fate, And fix my everlasting state. 4 But could I bear to hear him say, "Depart, accursed far away! With Satan in the lowest hell Thou art forever doom'd to dwell." 5 Lord Jesus! help me now to flee, And seek my hope alone in thee; Apply thy blood, thy spirit give, Subdue my sin, and in me live. 6 Then, when the solemn bell I hear, If sav'd from guilt I need not fear; Now would the thought distressing be, Perhaps it next may toll for me. 7 Rather my spirit would rejoice, And long, and wish to hear thy voice; Glad when it bids me earth resign, Secure of heav'n, if thou art mine.
