Louder than ten thousand thunders,

Will the sinner's heart confound!

Then shall say, "This God is mine."
Gracious Savior,

Own me in that day, for thine!

Rise to life, from earth and sea; All the powers of nature, shaken By his looks, prepare to flee. Careless sinner,

What can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation's wall, surrounded,

Springing from eternal love,
Well supply thy sons and daughters,

WHO shall ascend thy heav'nly place

Great God, and dwell before thy face

The man, that minds religion now,
And humbly walks with God below;
2 Whose hands are pure, whose heartis clean
Whose lips still speak the thing they mean-
No slanders dwell upon his tongue;
He hates to do his neighbor wrong.

3. Scarce will he trust an ill report,
Nor vent it to his neighbor's hurt;
Sinners of state he can despise;
But saints are honor'd in his eyes.
4. Firm to his word, he ever stood,
And always made his promise good;
Nor dares to change the thing he swears,
Whatever pain or loss he bears.
5. He never deals in bribing gold;
And mourns, that justice should be sold;
While others gripe and grind the poor,
Sweet charity attends his door.

Le loves his enemies, and prays or those that curse him to his face; nd doth to all men still the same, hat he would hope or wish from them. Tet when his holiest works are done, Lis soul depends on grace alone; This is the man, thy face shall see, and dwell for ever, Lord, with thee.
