Mark 9:43: Sinner in love with guilty joys
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Sinner in love with guilty joys.
Compute while here thy final gain,
The pleasure of a moment poise
With an eternity of pain:
And, if in love with hell thou art.
Persist thy lusts to gratify,
Refuse with a right hand to part.
And choose the second death to die.
