How Great Was Sodom’s Sin

How great was So­dom’s sin

When God

so good and kind

Must burn the place

and peo­ple

too

Nor leave one thing be­hind!

O! how could Lot

who saw God’s grace

Take part in such a wick­ed place?

But Ab­ram was not there

He loved the Lord too well;

He heard the God of glo­ry call

And there he would not dwell.

He trust­ed God—and God was more

To Ab­ram than all So­dom’s store.

And when the dread­ful day

Of So­dom’s judg­ment came

And Lot

who lin­gered in the scene

Was pulled from out the flame.

Then Ab­ram stood with God apart

And heard the sec­rets of His heart.

And you

my child

He calls

His glo­ry home to share

To know and fol­low Him while here

And live with Him up there.

Hark! how he calls—O

lin­ger not

Nor love this wick­ed world like Lot.

O

list­en to His voice

And trust in His great love;

Down to your lit­tle heart it comes

From His great heart ab­ove

To make you free from all the sin

And ho­ly

happy

safe with Him.
