Hymnal: Doctor Watts's Imitation of the Psalms of David, corrected and enlarged, to which is added a collection of hymns; the whole applied to the state of the Christian Church in general (2nd ed.) #71 (1786) First Line: When man grows bold in sin Lyrics: 1 When man grows bold in sin,
My heart within me cries,
"He hath no faith of God within,
"Nor fear before his eyes.
2 [He walks awhile conceal'd
In a self-flattering dream,
Till his dark crimes, at once reveal'd,
Expose his hateful name.]
3 His heart is false and foul,
His words are smooth and fair;
Wisdom is banish'd from his soul,
And leaves no goodness there.
4 He plots upon his bed
New mischiefs to fulfil;
He sets his heart, and hand, and head
To practise all that's ill.
5 But there's a dreadful God,
Tho' men renounce his fear;
His justice, hid behind the cloud,
Shall one great day appear.
6 His truth transcends the sky,
In heaven his mercies dwell;
Deep as the sea his judgements lie,
His anger burns to hell.
7 How excellent his love,
Whence all our safety springs!
Oh never let my soul remove
From underneath his wings.
