Luke 19:44: The most apostate spirit below
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The most apostate spirit below
Amidst his torments shall confess
His season he refused to know
When visited by saving grace:
This, sinner, makes the hell of hell.
Thou might'st have lived on earth forgiven.
Consign'd to flames unquenchable
Thou might'st have gain'd the joys of heaven.
