Prayers for Condemned Malefactors (1785)

Charles Wesley · 1785 · hymn-collection
Warning, ye sons of rapine take, By our unhappy doom; Now, now your evil ways forsake, And 'scape the wrath to come. Before the righteous wrath of man, Your careless souls surprise; And give you up to lasting pain, And death that never dies. Merciful God, to them extend, To us thy saving grace; And shew thyself, the sinner's friend, To all our dying race: And lo! Before thy face t' appear, We now from earth remove, Concluding with an act sincere Of sorrow, faith, and love.
