The prosperity of sinners cursedC
-
Lord what a thoughtless wretch was ID
To mourn and murmur and repineE
To see the wicked placed on highD
In pride and robes of honor shineE
-
But O their end their dreadful endF
Thy sanctuary taught me soG
On slipp'ry rocks I see them standH
And fiery billows roll belowG
-
Now let them boast how tall they riseI
I'll never envy them againE
There they may stand with haughty eyesI
Till they plunge deep in endless painE
-
Their fancied joys how fast they fleeA
Just like a dream when man awakesI
Their songs of softest harmonyA
Are but a preface to their plaguesI
-
Now I esteem their mirth and wineE
Too dear to purchase with my bloodJ
Lord 'tis enough that thou art mineE
My life my portion and my GodK

Isaac Watts
