Sin and misery connected

Hymnal: The Hartford Selection of Hymns from the Most Approved Authors #CCCLXVI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: What wretched fools are they, who hear Lyrics: 1 What wretched fools are they, who hear, With scorn, the sound of gospel grace; For sorrow walks along with sin, Although they keep not equal pace. 2 How blindly sinners grasp their chain, And yet of freedom vainly boast: They look for happiness and peace, Nor think by sin their peace is lost. 3 Approaching vice is deck'd in charms And smiles with promises of gain: No sooner past, its joys are fled, And all its pleasures chang'd to pain. 4 Sinners may for a time rejoice, Till storms of threaten'd wrath arise, Till justice grasp th' avenging sword, And then the wretch the sinner dies.
