Daniel 5:25: Sinner secure, the writing see

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Sinner secure, the writing see!
Death, judgment, hell it speaks to thee:
The number of thy days
Y'afinisKd in a moment here,
With horror then thou must appear
Before thy Judge's face.

Weighed in the scale, thou wanting art,
Thy guilty spirit flies
From earth, with kindred fiends to dwell,
Condemn'd the second death to feel.
The death that never dies.
