Author: Dr. Doddridge Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns #DLXXXII (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: In what confusion earth appears Lyrics: 1 In what confusion earth appears,
God's dearest children bath'd in tears;
While they, who heaven itself deride,
Riot in luxury and pride.
2 But patient let my soul attend,
And, ere I censure, view the end;
That end, how different, who can tell?
The wide extremes of heaven and hell.
3 See the red flames around him twine,
Who did in gold and purple shine!
Nor can his tongue one drop obtain
T' allay the scorching of his pain.
4 While round the saint, so poor below,
Full rivers of salvation flow;
On Abram's breast he leans his head,
And banquets on celestial bread.
5 Jesus, my Savior, let me share
The meanest of thy servant's fare;
May I at last approach to taste
The blessings of thy marriage-feast.
