Words
⤢ Full screenSinners, the call obey,
The latest call of grace;
The day is come, the vengeful day
Of a devoted race.
Devils and men combine
To plague the faithless seed,
And vials full of wrath divine
Are bursting on your head.
Enter into the Rock,
Ye trembling slaves of sin,
The Rock of your salvation, struck,
And cleft to take you in.
To shelter the distressed
He did the cross endure;
Enter into the clefts, and rest
In Jesus' wounds secure.
Jesus, to thee we fly
From the devouring sword;
Our city of defence is nigh,
Our help is in the Lord.
Or if the scourge o'erflow,
And laugh at innocence,
Thine everlasting arms, we know,
Shall be our souls' defence.
