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
