[Tremble who slight the word ye hear]

Notwithstanding be ye sure of this, &c. —x. 11.

Tremble who slight the word ye hear,
Nor will repent, believe, obey;
Damnation from salvation fear:
The word shall judge you in that day,
When dead out of your graves ye rise,
To die the death that never dies.
Then, then ye shall with anguish own
Ye might have took the proffer'd grace,
Ye might have God in Jesus known,
And lived the life of righteousness,
Ye might have felt your sins forgiven,
Ye once were at the gates of heaven.
