TERRIBLE thought! shall I alone, Who may be saved shall I Of all, alas! whom I have known, Through sin for ever die?

While all my old companions dear, With whom I once did live, Joyful at God's right hand appear, A blessing to receive;

Shall I - amidst a ghastly band, Dragged to the judgment-seat - Far on the left with horror stand, My fearful doom to meet?

Ah, no! I still may turn and live, For still his wrath delays; He now vouchsafes a kind reprieve, And offers me his grace.

I will accept his offers now, From every sin depart, Perform my oft-repeated vow And render him my heart.

I will improve what I receive, The grace through Jesus given; Sure, if with God on earth I live, To live with him in heaven.
