English poem
An immediate Attention to GOD's Voice required. Heb. iii. 15
by Philip Doddridge (1773–1832)
The LORD Jehovah calls, Be ev'ry Ear inclin'd; May such a Voice awake each Heart, And captivate the Mind.
If He in Thunder speaks, Earth trembles at his Nod; But gentle Accents here proclaim The condescending GOD.
O harden not your Hearts, But hear his Voice To-day; Lest, e'er To-morrow's earliest Dawn, He call your Souls away.
Almighty GOD, pronounce The Word of conqu'ring Grace; So shall the Flint dissolve to Tears, And Scorners seek thy Face.
