[Horrible apostasy!]
To whom our fathers would not obey, but, &c.
—vii. 39
Horrible apostasy!
Sinful souls how can it be?
Sinful souls so dearly bought,
From the house of bondage brought;
Wash'd in your Redeemer's blood,
Tasting once that God is good,
Can ye your good God forsake,
Can ye to the world draw back?
Sinful souls how can it be?
Sinful souls so dearly bought,
From the house of bondage brought;
Wash'd in your Redeemer's blood,
Tasting once that God is good,
Can ye your good God forsake,
Can ye to the world draw back?
Yes; I own the crime abhorr'd,
Weary of my gracious Lord,
Him I have repulsed and scorn'd,
Back again to Egypt turn'd;
That I may revolt no more
Jesus come with all Thy power,
All Thy purity impart,
Fix by reigning in my heart.
