Conspire His kingdom to oppose,
Crushed like the potter’s brittle store,
And scattered, to unite no more.
2 Sinners! awake: ye fools! be wise;
From sin’s delusive dreams arise;
Behold your Savior, seek His face,
And kiss the scepter of His grace.
3 O, lest ye perish from the way
That leads to realms of endless day;
Lest fierce the threatening storm descend,
And on your heads its fury spend.
4 If, yet but kindly in His breast,
His wrath the guilty soul arrest,
How blest are they who serve the Lord,
Who hear His voice, and trust His Word! Used With Tune: ERHALT UNS HERR Text Sources: Selection of Psalms and Hymns for Public and Private Use, Adapted to the Festivals of the Church of England by Thomas Cotterill, 8th ed. (Sheffield, England: J. Blackwell, 1829)
