1

Sinners, the call obey,The latest call of grace;The day is come, the vengeful dayOf a devoted race.

2

Devils and men combineTo plague the faithless seed,And vials full of wrath divineAre bursting on your head.

3

Enter into the Rock,Ye trembling slaves of sin,The Rock of your salvation, struck,And cleft to take you in.

4

To shelter the distressedHe did the cross endure;Enter into the clefts, and restIn Jesus' wounds secure.

5

Jesus, to thee we flyFrom the devouring sword;Our city of defence is nigh,Our help is in the Lord.

6

Or if the scourge o'erflow,And laugh at innocence,Thine everlasting arms, we know,Shall be our souls' defence.
