Matthew 7:22, 23: Many will say to Me in that day. Lord, &c

We preach in Jesus' name in vain,
We write as champions of our Lord,
His kingdom's mysteries explain.
And do great wonders through His word
If casting off the godly fear,
In crooked paths of sin we run,
We save the gracious souls that hear.
But lose, for ever lose our own.

Shall I be of that wretched crowd
Those workers of unrighteousness,
Rejected by an angry God,
And justly banish'd from Thy face?
Or now, while mercy may be found,
From all iniquity depart,
In all the fruits of grace abound,
And serve Thee with a loving heart?
