Are Sinners Now So Senseless Grown?

lyricist: Isaac Watts, 1719
Composer: Henry Greatorex, 1849

Are sin­ners now so sense­less grown

That they the saints de­vour?

And nev­er wor­ship at Thy throne

Nor fear Thine aw­ful pow­er?

Great God

ap­pear to their sur­prise

Reveal Thy dread­ful name;

Let them no more Thy wrath des­pise

Nor turn our hope to shame.

Dost Thou not dwell among the just

And yet our foes de­ride

That we should make Thy name our trust:

Great God

con­found their pride.

O that the joy­ful day were come

To fin­ish our dis­tress!

When God shall bring His child­ren home

Our songs shall nev­er cease.
