Trembling Solicitude
William Cowper • English
Primary Scripture: Matthew 3:7
Verse 1
My former hopes are fled, My terror now begins; I feel, alas! that I am dead In trespasses and sins.
Verse 2
Ah! whither shall I fly? I hear the thunder roar; The law proclaims destruction nigh, And vengeance at the door.
Verse 3
When I review my ways, I dread impending doom Until a friendly whisper says "Flee from the wrath to come."
