Matthew 24: As the days of A'oewere. so shall also, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
The watery flood destroy'd
A world that knew not God:
But an heavier plague to come
Our flagitious crimes require;
Earth shall soon receive her doom,
Deluged with a flood of fire.
Thy judgment is reveal'd.
The time from man conceal'd;
Yet Flis saints the signs shall know
Vhen their Lord will soon appear.
When the floods of sin o'erflow,
Then they find that Christ is near.
