Give glory to your God and Lord

Verse 1
Give glory to your God and Lord,
By casting all your sins away,
Warn’d by his Spirit and his word,
Sinners, repent, believe, obey,
Before he chase you from his sight,
And cover with Egyptian night.

Verse 2
Before ye lose your stumbling feet,
And on the dreary mountains fall,
Shrink from the dark unfathom’d pit,
On Jesu’s name for mercy call,
Snatch, save us from the gulph beneath,
The horrors of eternal death.
