LESSON X. The misery brought by sin

Who can abide God's wrath, or stand before the terrors of his hand? And yet his frowns, and vengeance too, I by my sins have made my due. Is there no hope! and must I die! Is there no friend, nor helper nigh! Is it beyond repeal decreed, That every soul that sins must bleed! O let my longing trembling ear, Some sound of grace and pardon hear, My soul would the first news embrace, And turn its tremblings into praise.
