Isaiah 1:2: Hear, heaven and earth, your God's appeal
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Hear, heaven and earth, your God's appeal,
(Jehovah to His creature cries,)
Angels and men, My justice tell,
When all My storms of vengeance rise
To plague a vile rebellious race.
Apostates from My richest grace.
Song of Solomon viii. 5 — Isaiah i. S, 6. 3G9
Children I have nursed up and bred,
Mark'd with the new, the Christian name,
But lo! the base degenerate seed
Impatient to divulge their shame,
Their foul ingratitude to prove.
Have spurn'd the bowels of My love.
