Is there a Hell? Speak softly in mine ear,
That I may know if groundless is my fear
Of doom. My sins as bloodhounds trace the scent
Pursue me close. In tears my soul seeks vent.
Is there a Hell? Speak softly in mine ear.
Is there a Hell? And is it in my breast?
By sense of guilt each day I feel oppressed.
'Tis anguish great to know that God is pure
And I am vile: Can I His face endure?
Is there a Hell? And is it in my breast?
Is there a Hell? And does it mean the tomb?
O then I wish for me it would make room.
There all my tears, remorseful tears would cease;
My conflict and my woes would end in peace.
Is there a Hell? And does it mean the tomb?
Is there a Hell beyond the silent grave?
Authoritative answer I would crave.
My conscience smites and tells me I'm undone
Where shall my spirit be when sets life's sun?
Is there a Hell beyond the silent grave?
Is there a Hell? And will it last for aye?
If not, I might then bid my fears away:
Though great my trouble, greater still beyond.
But if it ends, let me indulge what's fond.
Is there a Hell? And will it last for aye?
Is there a Hell? The doctrine seemeth crude—
Torment forevermore, yet God is good!
But He is JUST, I feel He would do right
To banish me forever from His sight.
Is there a Hell? The doctrine seemeth crude?
There IS a Hell. The answer has been given
By Him who came to open for us heaven.
On Calvary He suffered for our sake—
Of EVERLASTING PUNISHMENT He spake.
There IS a Hell. The answer has been given.
There IS a Hell. Ah! yes, but peace is mine.
The precious blood procured my peace divine.
In Christ the Risen One by faith I'm blest;
For Heaven bound, while Heaven fills my breast,
There IS a Hell. Ah! yes, but peace is mine.
There IS a Hell. Its fires are quenchless flame,
And sinners all not saved through Jesus' Name
Will there be cast, in misery to dwell
With demons and the damned. How sad to tell;
There IS a Hell. Its fires are quenchless flame.
