Shall God invite me to his arms,
And I his call delay ?
Shall he impart his just commands,
And creatures disobey ?
Shall Jesus bid me to rely,
On him for righteousness ;
Beneath his wings for safety fly,
And I despise his grace?
The sacred Spirit condescends,
His favours to dispense ;
And shall I live for sordid ends,
Immersed in earth and sense ?
By mercy wooed, by wrath pursued,
How sluggish l remain ;
Rouse, Lord, my dull inactive powers
The heavenly prize to gain!
