Proverbs 14:9: That careless fool am

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Religion

That careless fool am I,
Who void of godly fear,
And making light of sin, defy
The heavenly Lawgiver:
O might I here be shock'd,
Before His wrath I feel,
Chased from the face of God, and mock'd
By all the fiends in hell.
