[Ah! wretched souls, who once in grace]
If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth, &c.
—xv. 6.
Ah! wretched souls, who once in grace
Who one in Thee were truly Thine,
But left for sin Thy righteous ways,
And shipwreck made of faith Divine,
By unbelief broke off from Thee,
They die in their apostasy!
Who one in Thee were truly Thine,
But left for sin Thy righteous ways,
And shipwreck made of faith Divine,
By unbelief broke off from Thee,
They die in their apostasy!
Among the branches found no more,
Deprived of faith and life and love,
Abandon'd to the tempter's power,
Vilest of all the' apostates prove,
The sorest punishment require,
Cast into that eternal fire.
Deprived of faith and life and love,
Abandon'd to the tempter's power,
Vilest of all the' apostates prove,
The sorest punishment require,
Cast into that eternal fire.
Saviour, reverse my righteous doom
Fallen, alas, from pardoning grace,
Yet do not in Thy wrath consume,
But give me still a longer space,
And graft again into the Vine,
And keep my soul for ever Thine.
Fallen, alas, from pardoning grace,
Yet do not in Thy wrath consume,
But give me still a longer space,
And graft again into the Vine,
And keep my soul for ever Thine.
