LyicsLET saints obey their gracious Lord,
And shun the ways of hell;
The soul who will not hear his word,
Shall not with Jesus dwell.
As waring tempests vex the world,
And spread their ruin round;
So men of state from life are hurled
And never more are found.
As floods bear fields and fruits away,
And blast the hopes of men,
Ungodly sinners all decay,
Nor e'er spring up again.
But oh! the joy and bliss of heaven,
'Tis like the summer ray,
With light and life it shall be given
To all that keep his way.
Then gladly bring your offering nigh;
The precious things of time--
For heaven and all beyond the sky,
O, man of God, are thine.
