When frowning death appears

Meter: Irregular Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When frowning death appears, And points his fatal dart, What dark foreboding fears Distract the sinner's heart! The dreadful blow No arm can stay, But torn away He sinks to wo. 2 Now every hope denied, Bereft of every good, He must the wrath abide Of an avenging God; No mercy there Will greet his ear Nor wipe the tear Of black despair. 3 Sinners, awake, attend, And flee the wrath to come; Make Christ, the Judge, your friend, And heav'n shall be your home: His mercy nigh, Now points the path That leads from death To joys on high. Topics: Holy Spirit The certaintiy of death and Judgment Scripture: Romans 3:16

Richard Lee

Author of "When frowning death appears" Lee, Richard. Said to have been "a laborious mechanic," and "a political and religious fanatic," contributed several hymns to the Evangelical Magazine, 1793, 1794, which were signed "Ebenezer," and dated from "Leicester Fields, London." In 1794 he published Flowers from Sharon. From this work the hymns, "When I view my Saviour bleeding" (Good Friday), and "See the Captain of Salvation" (Ascension), are taken. --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, Appendix, Part II (1907)
