A just excuse devise ?

At hell's dark door we lay; Who can with thee contend? But now we rise by grace divine, Or who that tries th' unequal strife,

And see a heav'nly day. Shall prosper in the end?

3 Salvation! let the echo fly 4 The mountains, in thy wrath,

The spacious earth around; Their ancient seats forsake!

While all the arinies of the sky The trembling earth deserts her place, Conspire to raise the sound. Her rooted pillars shake!

4 Salvation ! O thou bleeding Lamb,

To Thee the praise belongs: $ Ah, how shall guilty man

Our hearts shall kindle at thy name
Contend with such a God?

Thy name inspire our songs.
None, none can meet him, and escape,
But through the Saviour's blood.

Wand'ring from the fold of God; And pow'r and wisdom too;
