"Hell the Prison House of Despair,
Here are some things that will be there"
Fire and brimstone are there, as we know
For God in His Word hath told us so;
Memory, remorse, suffering and pain,
Weeping and wailing, but all in vain;
Blasphemers, swearers, haters of God,
Christ rejecters while here on earth trod;
Murderers, gamblers, drunkards and liars,
Will have their part in the Lake of Fire;
The filthy, the vile, the cruel and mean,
What a horrible mob in Hell will be seen;
Yes more than humans on earth can tell,
Are the torments and woes of eternal Hell
Hell, the Prison House of Despair,
Here are some things that won’t be there
No flowers will bloom on the banks of hell,
No beauties of nature we love so well;
No comforts of home, music and song,
No friendship of joy will be found in that throng;
No children to brighten the long weary night;
no love nor peace, nor one ray of light;
No blood washed soul with face beaming bright,
No loving smile in that region of night;
No mercy, no pity, nor pardon or grace,
No water; Oh God, what a terrible place:
The pangs of the lost no human can tell,
Not one moment’s ease - there’s no rest in Hell!
William Booth “I wish I could send you all to hell for 60 seconds”
You can make a difference. You can help others make a decision to accept the full payment of their sins.
God would like to see at least two things happen this evening.
1. The lost accept Christ
2. The Saved make a commitment to reach the lost.
