Lyrics

Where is thy hope, poor sinner?
What are you going to do?
O, hope is a God-given anchor,
Lavished so freely on you;
If it is fixed in the Sav­ior,
On that bright shore you will land;
But, if in sin you still linger,
Sad your end.

Refrain

Lost, for­ev­er!
Lost, for­ev­er!
Oh, how sad!

Where is thy refuge, sinner?
Look where your pathway will end;
Repent, or you’ll perish for­ev­er,
Awful destruction’s at hand;
Heaven, or hell you are choosing,
Fixing and sealing your fate;
God and His mercy refusing,
Lost! too late!

Refrain

What can you plead, poor sinner,
In the great Judgment Day?
See, Hea­ven now offers you favor,
Oh, do not cast it away.
Slighted, the warnings repeated,
Leave you in Satan’s control;
And with all Hea­ven rejected,
Lost your soul.

Refrain

Where you will go, poor sinner?
How will your soul escape?
O think of thy lot, when for­ev­er
Cast in the dark burning lake.
If, then you’re lost and forgotten,
Writhing in flames of despair,
You will remember you’ve chosen
To be there.

Refrain
