Matthew 24:17, 18: While God His judgments sure defers
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
While God His judgments sure defers,
Sinner, thy grasp of earth let go,
Nor load thyself with worldly cares,
Nor stop to seek thy good below;
The perishable goods forsake,
While yet thou may'st the mountain find,
Escape for life, nor once look back.
Nor leave one lingering wish behind.
