Will nought affect this stubborn heart,
Or these dull passions move ;
Neither the vengeance of a God,
Nor his displays of love ?
Amidst so many fearful scenes,
Shall I secure remain ;
And neither pardoning mercy seek
Nor dread eternal pain ?
Shall I, bound fast in massy chains,
A willing captive be ;
A slave to every sinful lust,
Nor struggle who free ?
Thoughtless and stupid I may live,
But thus I cannot die ;
Save me, oh Lord, and teach my soul
For refuge where to fly.
