SONG 11. Heaven and Hell.
I
There is beyond the skyA heav'n of joy and love;
And holy children, when they die,
Go to that world above.
II
There is a dreadful hell,And everlasting pains:
There sinners must with devils dwell
In darkness, fire, and chains.
III
Can such a wretch as IEscape this cursed end?
And may I hope, whene'er I die,
I shall to heav'n ascend?
IV
Then will I read and pray,While I have life and breath;
Lest I should be cut off to-day,
And sent t'eternal death.
