Religion
Numbers 14:9: Only rebel not ye against the Lord
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
Nothing but sin can sinners slay,
Denied by Him they first deny,
Left by the God they chase away.
Because they will not live, they die;
Compell'd by no decree unknown
Who will not bow to Christ's command,
They perish, by themselves alone
Excluded from that heavenly land.
