:1. 'Where are the Mourners', saith the Lord,
:Who wait and tremble at my Word?
:Who walk in Darkness all the Day?
:Come, make my Name your Trust and Stay.'
 
:2. 'No Works, nor Duties, of your own,
:Can for the smallest Sin atone;
:The Robes which Nature may provide,
:Will not your least Pollution hide.'
 
:3. 'The softest Couch which Nature knows,
:Can give the Conscience no repose:
:Look to my Right'ousness, and live;
:Comfort and Peace are mine to give.'
 
:4. 'Ye Sons of Pride, who kindle Coals
:With your own Hands to warm your Souls,
:Walk in the Light of your own Fire,
:Enjoy the Sparks which you desire.'
 
:5. 'This is your Portion at my Hands;
:Hell waits you with her iron Bands;
:Ye shall lie down in Sorrow there,
:In Death, in Darkness, and Despair.'
