Tell the' apostate sons of men
What in themselves they are,
Sinners born, a viperous brood,
Of wrath Divine insensible,
Burden'd with the curse of God,
And hasting down to hell.

O what wondrous grace that I
Should here my danger see,
From the' impending judgment fly
My God, my God, to Thee!

My soul to seek its real rest;
Rescue then from endless pain
And hide me in Thy breast.
