Jeremiah 10:25: Tremble, ye families profane

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)

Religion

Tremble, ye families profane.
Where the great God is not adored.
Who take the name of Christ in vain.
But do not invocate your Lord;
Regardless of His smile or frown.
Ye pull His heaviest judgments down.

Before the threaten'd curse takes place,
And sweeps your prayerless souls to hell,
Daily unite to' implore His grace.
Invite Him in your tents to dwell.
Let every house His worship show.
And every heart His presence know.
