“ The attributes of God like jury sit,
And all consign the sinner to the pit;
And Justice, as the counsel for Heaven’s Crown,
Demands that they should cut the rebel down.
Does not the law condemn thee to thy face,
And is not thine an aggravated case?
“Thou hast destroyed thyself,” the Judge deelares;
This is one charge which thy indictment bears.
Hast thou not dozed thy precious soul with sin,
And poisoned every noble power within?
Bad words and deeds, those poisons given by thee,
Have they not wrought both death and misery?
Hast thou not sinned in thought, and word, and deed? ”

“ That foul, cold-blooded poisoner is the man!
No mortal could have acted such a part
Unless the devil had been in his heart.
How long, O gracious Heaven! wilt thou permit
Foul spirits from the dark, infernal pit,
To enter men, take up possession strong,
And to destruetion hurry them along!
O thou fair looking, but sin-blighted earth,
How long wilt thou eontinue to give birth
To horrid monsters in the form of man,
Who seil themselves to mischief, and who can,
With fiendish subtlety, torment and slay
The very wives that in their bosoms lay! ”

“ To do the glorious work, and it is done;
The Holy Lamb for guilty sinners died,
God is well pleased, His justiee satisfied.
When in God’s sight the trembling sinner stands,
Condemned for breaking His most just commands,
Sees Justice, with his sharp and glitt’ring sword,
Prepared to deal the vengeance of the Lord,
And feels that it is hopeless to get free,
His heart is filled with speechless misery,
But when he calls upon the Blessed Name
Of Him who bore the sinner’s curse and shame,
Behold how quickly God’s dear Lamb appears,
To save his soul, and drive away his fears. ”
