283. Sinner, art thou still secure?

1 Sinner, art thou still secure?
Wilt thou still refuse to pray?
Can thy heart or hands endure
In the Lord's avenging day?

2 See, His mighty arm is bared!
Awful terrors clothe His brow!
For His judgment stand prepared;
Thou must either break or bow.

3 At his presence nature shakes,
Earth, affrighted, hastes to flee;
Solid mountains melt like wax,
What will then become of thee?

4 Who his advent may abide?
You that glory in your shame,
Will you find a place to hide
When the world is wrapt in flame?

5 Lord, prepare us by Thy grace!
Soon we must resign our breath;
And our souls be called to pass
Through the iron gate of death.

6 Let us now our day improve,
Listen to the gospel voice:
Seek the things that are above:
Scorn the world's pretended joys.
