Religion
Acts 12:3: Once embark'd in wickedness
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Once embark'd in wickedness
Sinners all restraint despise,
Satan and the world to please
Still from crime to crime they rise;
When their measure is fulfill'd,
When they can no further go,
Then the wrath of God reveal'd
Sends them to their place below.
