Malachi 4:1: Behold, the day Cometh, that shall burn, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

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

Religion

Lo! it comes, Jehovah's day
Of flaming vengeance comes,
Seizes on its ready prey.
And all the proud consumes.
Root and branch the wicked burns,
Fit fuel for Thy righteous ire!
Then Thy wrath enkindled turns
To everlasting fire.
