Religion
Luke 20:19: Who sets not God before his eyes
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Who sets not God before his eyes.
Who His eternal wrath defies,
What keeps him from the last excess,
I'he utmost height of wickedness?
Only the abject fear of man,
And momentary ills restrain
A sinner, hanging by that hair
O'er the deep gulf of dark despair.
