English text
- 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.'
