[Sinners should lament and wail]

The Son of Man shall be betrayed, &c. —xvii. 22, 23.

Sinners should lament and wail
Sunk so near the' abyss of hell,
Nothing from that gaping grave
But the death of God could save!
Sinners should with comfort rise,
Lift to heaven their thankful eyes,
Glad, that God, through love extreme,
Died Himself to ransom them!
