But turned my soul per­verse­ly to the dark,

Let doubt and de­lu­sion no long­er de­ceive,
E’er yet it burst up­on your heads,
Nor our luke­warm ways ap­prove.

I am not able to look up to Thee;

To wear a star­ry crown.
Light from His throne or lov­ing from His face.
Prophet, to the mul­ti­tudes
For the fount­ain is open to all
Then from His pre­sence will be sent,
To slay the mock­er of God’s word.
In every dark­ened land.
For He is both able and will­ing to save.

re­pent

Because I held upon my self­ish road,
That rings from the Gos­pel to­day;
O bro­ther, re­pent and be­lieve on the Son,
Late rag­ing storm, ’twas mer­cy stayed,
’Tis the call of God to ev­ery land!
’Tis the call of God to ev­ery land!
But Thou hast tak­en all my sins away,
end
Lord, what would it avail?
Justice has bolt­ed mer­cy’s door,
While He is call­ing still,
Flee from im­pend­ing wrath;
To wear a star­ry crown.
Of that heart’s pride which frowns and will not yield,
In the way of right­eous­ness
Are you weary and sigh­ing for rest?
After awhile, af­ter awhile;
Let him that’s fil­thy, fil­thy be,
Tell the world the Sav­ior’s love;
And op­ens his heart for the Lord to come in,
