Hymnal: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns #CCXXXVI (1791) Hymnal Title: The Christians Duty, exhibited, in a series of Hymns First Line: Poor Esau repented too late Lyrics: 1 Poor Esau repented too late,
That once he his Birth-Right despis'd;
And sold, for a Morsel of Meat,
What could not too highly be priz'd:
How great was his Anguish when told
The Blessing he sought to obtain,
Was gone with the Birth-Right he sold,
And none could recall it again!
2 He stands as a Warning to all,
Wherever the Gospel shall come:
O hasten and yield to the Call,
While yet for Repentance there's Room!
Your Season will quickly be past,
Then hear, and obey it to-day;
Lest when you seek Mercy at last,
The Saviour should frown you away.
3 What is it the World can propose?
A Morsel of Meat at the best!
For this are you willing to lose
A share in the Joys of the Blest?
Its Pleasures will speedily end,
Its Favour and praise are but Breath:
And what can its Profits befriend
Your Soul in the Moment of Death?
4 If Jesus for these you despise,
And Sin to the Saviour prefer,
In vain your Entreaties and Cries,
When summon'd to stand at his Bar:
How will you his Presence abide?
What Anguish will Torture your Heart?
The Saints all enthron'd by his Side,
And you be compell'd to depart!
5 Too often, Dear Saviour, have I
Preferr'd some Poor Trifle to Thee;
How is it thou dost not deny
The Blessing and Birth-Right to me?
No better than Esau I am,
Tho' Pardon and Heaven be mine;
To me belongs nothing but Shame,
The Praise and the Glory be thine. Topics: liturgical Confession Songs; Penitential Hymns Scripture: Genesis 24:31 Languages: English

Poor Esau Repented Too Late
Author: John Newton Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #5584 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Hymnal Title: The Cyber Hymnal Lyrics: 1. Poor Esau repented too late
That once he his birth-right despised;
And sold, for a morsel of meat,
What could not too highly be prized:
How great was his anguish when told,
The blessing he sought to obtain,
Was gone with the birth-right he sold,
And none could recall it again!
2. He stands as a warning to all,
Wherever the Gospel shall come;
O hasten and yield to the call,
While yet for repentance there’s room!
Your season will quickly be past,
Then hear and obey it today;
Lest when you seek mercy at last,
The Savior should frown you away.
3. What is it the world can propose?
A morsel of meat at the best!
For this are you willing to lose
A share in the joys of the blest?
Its pleasures will speedily end,
Its favor and praise are but breath;
And what can its profits befriend
Your soul in the moment of death?
4. If Jesus for these you despise,
And sin to the Savior prefer;
In vain your entreaties and cries,
When summoned to stand at His bar:
How will you His presence abide?
What anguish will torture your heart?
The saints all enthroned by His side,
And you be compelled to depart.
5. Too often, dear Savior, have I
Preferred some poor trifle to Thee;
How is it Thou dost not deny
The blessing and birth-right to me?
No better than Esau I am,
Though pardon and Heaven be mine;
To me belongs nothing but shame,
The praise and the glory be Thine. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CYPRIAN (Goss)
