View the expiring saint!
When outward comforts cease,
God is his alsufficient help,
And gives him inward peace.
Varied his course has been,
With many clouds o’ercast;
Though oft distressed with doubts and fears,
He conquers all at last.
With grateful heart he views
With grace for him has done,
Yet for acceptance he depends
On Jesus’ blood alone.
Not so the man profane,
Most awful is his close;
Despairing in the grave he sinks,
Amidst foreboding woes.
The deathless worm shall gnaw,
The quenchless fire consume,
And wrath in all its direful forms
Is his eternal doom.
