[But born in sin and misery]
He that believeth not the Son shall not, &c.
—iii. 36.
But born in sin and misery
He still is dead who knows not Thee,
Who still Thy gospel disobeys,
A stranger to the life of grace,
True happiness he cannot prove
Or live the blissful life above;
Under the curse his wretched breath
He yields, and dies the second death.
