Dreadful, Pride Chastising Word

Dreadful

pride chas­tis­ing word

Of sur­est pro­phe­cy!

Two in three that call Thee Lord

Shall be cut off and die.

Who should then of grace pre­sume?

Father

in Thine hands I am

Save me from th’apos­tate’s doom

I ask in Je­su’s name.

Need I then

my God

des­pair

Thy fa­vor to retain?

Lost if two in three there are

The third shall still re­main;

Of the third dis­ting­uished part

That I may live for­ev­er one

Stamp Thine im­age on my heart

And join me to Thy Son.
