Acts 13:40: Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, &c

by Charles Wesley 1707–1788

From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)

Religion

The prophecies foreshow'd
The justice and the grace,
The love and righteousness of God
Toward all our sinful race;
And if we still rebel,
Nor will for mercy sue,
We must His rigorous anger feel,
And prove His threatenings true.

Then let us all beware
While yet we may repent,
By humble watchfulness and prayer
The coming woe prevent;
Improve the added space
Ere God His wrath reveal,
Believe the prophecies of grace,
And by our faith fulfil.
