SINNER, ART THOU STILL SECURE?

"Put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground." Ephesians 6:13


Words: John Newton, Olney Hymns, 1779.
Music: "Pleyel's Hymn," Ignaz Josef Pleyel (1757-1831).
Sinner, art thou still secure?
Wilt thou still refuse to pray?
Can thy heart or hands endure
In the Lord's avenging day?

Lord, prepare us by Thy grace,
Soon we must resign our breath,
And our souls be called to pass,
Through the iron gate of death.

Let us now our day improve,
Listen to the gospel voice;
Seek the things that are above;
Scorn the world's pretended joys.
