[Parted from God the soul is dead]

When Jesus came, He found that he had lain, &c. —xi. 17.

Parted from God the soul is dead,
Buried alive the graceless soul,
His conscience as with worms o'erspread,
No sepulchre is half so foul!

472

The poor habitual sinner lies,
Long dead in trespasses and sins;
And cannot wake and cannot rise,
Till call'd by life's immortal Prince.
