Matthew 8:28: See the wretchedness of sin

See the wretchedness of sin!
See the fiend's tormenting rage!
Man admits the legion in,
Makes his heart a deviUsh cage;
Then by furious lusts possess'd,
Wounds himself, and cuts, and beats,
Spreads the hell within his breast,
Tears and tortures all he meets.

In the dark abodes of death
Long he dwells, and hates the light,
Hastening to his place beneath,
Mansions of eternal night:
Never can his soul be freed.
Till to him the Saviour comes:
Then he leaves the doubly dead.
Then he issues from the tombs.
