Allured by sin's deceitful arts,
Unhappy men depart from God;
To Satan yield their treacherous hearts;
And fearless tread the downward road.
Still they increase their load of guilt,
Thoughtless amidst a thousand woes;
Or if some pangs of grief are felt,
Those pangs they quickly lose.
They bid defiance to the skies,
And dare th’ Almighty to his face,
His awful threatenings they despise,
And cast contempt upon his grace.
But the decisive day will come
And universal terror spread;
Then God will fix their final doom,
And vengeance strike the rebels dead.
Bound fast in adamantine chains,
Their numerous follies they will mourn;
Shall suffer unremitting pains,
And ever sin and ever burn.
