Swallow'd the mountains in its rage, And swept a guilty world to hell. 2 In vain the tallest sons of pride Fled from the close-pursuing wave, Nor could their mightiest towers defend, Nor swiftness ’scape, nor courage save. 3 How dire the wreck? how loud the roar: How shrill the universal cry Of millions in the last despair, Re-echo from the lowering sky! 4 Yet Noah, humble happy saint, Surrounded with the chosen few, Sat in his ark, secure from fear, And sang the grace that steer'd him ’thro. 5 So may I sing, in Jesus safe, When storms of vengeance round me fall, Conscious how high my hopes are fix'd, Beyond what shakes this earthly ball. 6 Enter thine ark, while patience waits, Nor ever quit that sure retreat; Then the wide flood, which buries earth, Shall waft thee to a fairer seat. 7 Nor wreck nor ruin there is seen; There not a wave of trouble rolls; But the bright rainbow round the throne Seals endless life to all their souls.

Or crush them with an iron rod? Loves he the deep despairing groan? Is he a tyrant, or a God. 3 Not all the sins which we have wrought So much his tender bowels grieve, As this unkind injurious thought, That he's unwilling to forgive. 4 What tho' our crimes are black as night, Or glowing like the crimson morn, Immanuel's blood will make them white As snow thro' the pure aether borne. 5 Lord, 'tis amazing grace we won, And well may rebel-worms surprise, But was not thy incarnate son A most amazing sacrifice? 6 "I've found a ransom," saith the lord, "No humble penitent shall die;" Lord, we would now believe thy word, And thy unbounded mercies try!

When he the wand'rer finds; Up in his arms he takes his charge, And to his shoulder binds. 3 Homeward he hastes to tell his joys, And make his bliss complete: The neighbours hear the news, and all The joyful shepherd greet. 4 Yet how much greater is the joy When but one sinner turns; When the poor wretch with broken heart, His sins and errors mourns. 5 Pleas'd with the news, the saints below, In songs their tongues employ; Beyond the skies, the tidings go, And Heaven is fill'd with joy. 6 Well-pleas'd the Father sees and hears The conscious sinner weep; Jesus receives him in his arms, And owns him for his sheep. 7 Nor angels can their joys contain, But kindle with new fire: "A wandering sheep's return'd," they sing, And strike the sounding lyre.
