Nor heart can think, nor tongue can tell,
The joys of heaven, the pains of hell;
The wrath or mercy of a God,
His smiling face, his chastening rod.
His boundless goodness has prepared
For all his saints, a rich reward,
Successive scenes of pure delight,
An endless day with a night.
But on the wicked he will pour
Brimstone and fire, a dreadful shower;
And from his presence banish those,
who dare his laws and grace oppose.
