[In vain the self-deceiver stays]
If one went unto them from the dead, they, &c.
—xvi. 30.
In vain the self-deceiver stays
For wonders of resistless grace
His stubborn heart to' incline,
Proof for his faith affects to want:
A thousand proofs if mercy grant,
He asks a farther sign.
For wonders of resistless grace
His stubborn heart to' incline,
Proof for his faith affects to want:
A thousand proofs if mercy grant,
He asks a farther sign.
Faith for his proofs is wanting still,
He will remain, because he will,
Unsaved and unforgiven;
Till hearkening to the sacred word
He leaves his sin, and serves his Lord,
His God come down from heaven.
He will remain, because he will,
Unsaved and unforgiven;
Till hearkening to the sacred word
He leaves his sin, and serves his Lord,
His God come down from heaven.
