Sinner, O, why so thoughtless grown?

Isaac Watts • English

Primary Scripture: Ezekiel 33:11

Verse 1

Sinner, O why so Thoughtless grown? Why in such dreadful Haste to die; Daring to leap to Worlds unknown, Heedless against thy God to fly?

Verse 2

Will ye frustrate Eternal Grace, Urg'd on by Sin's fantastick Dreams, Madly attempt th'infernal Gate, And force thy Passage to the Flames?

Verse 3

Stay, Sinner, on the Gospel Plains, Behold the God of Love unfold The Myst'ry of his Dying Pains, For ever telling, yet untold.
