- No room for mirth or trifling here,
For worldly hope or worldly fear,
If life so soon is gone;
If now the Judge is at the door,
And all mankind must stand before
The inexorable throne!

- Wesley, Charles. "Hymns for Children", England, 1763.
- Notes
- This Hymn is well documented as to first appearing in 1763 in “Hymns for Children.” This is a problem since this sampler is dated 1743. Further investigation and correspondence with the New Bedford WHatling Museum suggests the stitched year was probably changed to a '7' from an '8' (1743 from 1843).
