Religion
Isaiah: How justly, Lord, dost Thou complain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)
Religion
How justly, Lord, dost Thou complain
Of heedless unregarding man.
Who still invitest all
With offers of Thy richest grace;
Yet none the benefit embrace,
Or answer to Thy call.
Thou seek'st Thine own, who Thee reject.
Or deaf to mercy's voice neglect
Their Saviour to receive,
From Thy pursuing love they fly,
And harden'd unbeHevers die,
Because they will not live.
