Verse 1
Ye that all your powers exert
The gospel to gainsay,
Jesus doctrine to pervert,
And mock his perfect way:
Ye that seek our faith t’ o’rethrow,
Who in his blood redemption feel,
Leagued with our malicious foe,
Ye serve the cause of hell.
Verse 2
Full of Satan’s subtlety
Ye all his arts employ,
With the felon old agree
Who would our souls destroy:
Children of that Wicked one
Your father’s deeds ye gladly do,
Slander whom ye have not known,
And lie, and murther too.
Verse 3
Haters of all righteousness
Haters of Christ, ye are:
Judgments on your souls shall seize,
If still his wrath ye dare;
God shall strike your spirits blind,
And leave in nature’s penal chains,
Earnest of the wrath behind,
And hell’s eternal pains.
Verse 4
Turn, while grace may yet be found,
Accept a Guide from heaven,
Grace doth more than sin abound,
To every sinner given:
Seek, thou infidel, and find,
The glorious Sun in Jesus see,
Him who shines on all mankind,
And offers faith to thee.
