CHAPTER XXIV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
593.
[While God His judgments sure defers]
Let him which is on the housetop not, &c.
—xxiv. 17, 18.
While God His judgments sure defers,
Sinner, thy grasp of earth let go,
Nor load thyself with worldly cares,
Nor stop to seek thy good below;
The perishable goods forsake,
While yet thou may'st the mountain find,
Escape for life, nor once look back,
Nor leave one lingering wish behind.
