John 8:21: Woe to the men whom Jesus leaves

Woe to the men whom Jesus leaves,
Who force their Saviour to depart!
Up to their own desires He gives,
Their own obduracy of heart:
They seek Him then, but seek too late.
Who long refused His love to feel.
They sink beneath His judgments' weight,
They sink with all their sins to hell.

Thou didst foretell the fearful doom
Of that self-reprobated race.
That we in this our day may come
And humbly seek, and find Thy grace:
Entering into Thy love's design.
We give Thee Lord, our broken heart:
Us to Thyself so closely join
That neither life nor death may part.
