1 Sinners in vain expect
Among the just t’appear;
God’s threatening word and flaming sword
Forbid an entrance there.

2 Depart, ye hardened race,
Heav’n’s lofty gates are barred;
Nor can you force a passage through,
Or bribe the watchful guard.

3 Time was that Jesus spread
His kind inviting arms;
But you rejected all His calls,
And slighted all His charms.

4 The Savior you despised,
Now dooms you down to hell;
There with confounding horror seized,
ln fiery deeps to dwell.

5 How will your hearts endure?
How can your hands be strong,
When He shall vengeance take, to whom
All vengeance doth belong.
