Ye careless professors, who rest on your lees,
Amidst your vain pleasures, your profit and ease,
Now God says “arise, and escape for your life,
And look not behind you—remember Lot’s wife.”
Wake from your slumber, the warning receive;
’Tis Jesus that warns you, the message believe
While dangers are pending, escape for your life,
And look not behind you—remember Lot’s wife.
The first bold apostate will tempt you to stray,
And tell you no dangers are found in the way;
He means to deceive you, escape for your life,
And look not behind you—remember Lot’s wife.
How many poor souls has the serpent beguil’d,
With specious temptations how many defil’d;
Then be not deluded, escape for your life,
And look not behind you—remember Lot’s wife.
The ways of religion true pleasures afford,
No pleasures can equal the joys of the Lord;
Forsake then the world, and escape for your life,
And look not behind you—remember Lot’s wife.
But if you determine the call to refuse,
And venture the way of destruction to choose,
For hell you must part with the blessings of life,
And then, if not now, you’ll remember Lot’s wife.
