Matthew 25:8: Desperate is the sinner's case

Desperate is the sinner's case.
Whose soul and body part,
Then to know his want of grace,
His unbelief of heart.
Token of eternal night
To find within the hellish void,
Quench'd his every ray of light.
His every spark of God!

Fools themselves the just esteem
Whom once they counted mad.
Wish that they had lived like them
Who Jesus' word obey'd:
Fully now convinced they are.
And wisdom with her sons approve,
Wish (but ah, too late) to share
Their humble faith and love.
