[The awful prophecy]
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish.
—xiii. 41.
The awful prophecy
Accomplish'd now we own,
While Christian infidels deny
And mock the God unknown:
Thy present work of grace
They will not Lord believe,
Though thousands by their lives confess,
Thou dost on earth forgive.
Accomplish'd now we own,

And mock the God unknown:
Thy present work of grace
They will not Lord believe,
Though thousands by their lives confess,
Thou dost on earth forgive.
Amazed the scoffers stand,
And see on every side
The wonders of Thine outstretch'd hand
On sinners justified.
Convinced they will not be
Till mercy's day is pass'd,
In stubborn incredulity
Resolved to die at last.
