LyicsStop, poor sinner, top and think,
Before you further go:
Will you sport upon the brink
Of everlasting woe?
On the verge of ruin stop--
Now the friendly warning take--
Stay your footsteps--ere you drop
Into the burning lake.
Say, have you an arm like God,
That you his will oppose?
Fear ye not that iron rod
With which he breaks his foes?
Can you stand in that dread day
Which his justice shall proclaim--
When the earth shall melt away
Like wax before the flame?
Ghastly death will quickly come,
And drag you to his bar:
Then, to hear your awful doom,
Will fill you with despair!
All your sins will round you crowd--
You shall mark their crimson dye--
Each for vengeance crying loud;
And what can you reply?
