There is a line by us unseen
1
There is a line by us unseen,That crosses every path,—The hidden boundary betweenGod's patience and his wrath.
2
O! where is this mysterious bourneBy which our path is crossed,—Beyond which God himself hath swornThat he who goes is lost?
3
How far may we go on in sin?How long will God forbear?Where does hope end? And where beginThe confines of despair?
4
An answer from the skies is sent:"Ye that from God depart,While it is called to-day, repent,And harden not your heart."
