SONG X.

Solemn Thoughts of GOD and Death.

I.

THere is a GOD that reigns above, LORD of the Heav'ns and Earth and Seas: I fear his Wrath, I ask his Love, And with my Lips I sing his Praise,

II.

There is a Law which he has writ, To teach us all that we must do: My Soul, to his Commands submit, For they are holy, just and true.

III.

There is a Gospel of rich Grace, Whence Sinners all their Comforts draw: LORD, I repent, and seek thy Face; For I have often broke thy Law.

IV.

There is an Hour when I must die, Nor do I know how soon 'twill come; A thousand Children young as I, Are call'd by Death to hear their Doom.

V.

Let me improve the Hours I have, Before the Day of Grace is fled; There's no Repentance in the Grave, Nor Pardons offer'd to the Dead.

VI.

Just as the Tree cut down, that fell To North or Southward, there it lies; So Man departs to Heav'n or Hell, Fix'd in the State wherein he dies.
