2 They give a loose to wild desires,
But let the sinners know,
The strict account that God requires
Of all the works they do.

3 The Judge prepares his throne on high,
The frighted earth and seas
Avoid the fury of his eye,
And flee before his face.

4 How shall I bear that dreadful day,
And stand the fiery test? 
I give all mortal joys away
To be for ever blest.

Hymn 1:91. 
Advice to youth; or, Old age and death in an
unconverted state, Eccles. 12. 1 7.  Isa. 65. 20.

1 Now in the heat of youthful blood
Remember your Creator God,
Behold the months come hastening on
When you shall say, “My joys are gone.”

2 Behold, the aged sinner goes,
Laden with guilt and heavy woes
Down to the regions of the dead,
With endless curses on his head.

3 The dust returns to dust again,
The soul in agonies of pain
Ascends to God, not there to dwell,
But hears her doom, and sinks to hell.

4 Eternal King!  I fear thy Name,
Teach me to know how frail I am;
And when my soul must hence remove,
Give me a mansion in thy love.

Hymn 1:92. 
Christ the wisdom of God, Prov. 8. 1 22-32.

1 Shall wisdom cry aloud
And not her speech be heard? 
The voice of God’s eternal word,
Deserves it no regard?

2 “I was his chief delight,
“His everlasting Son,
“Before the first of all his works,
“Creation, was begun.

3 ["Before the flying clouds,
“Before the solid land,
“Before the fields, before the floods,
“I dwelt at his right hand.

4 “When he adorn’d the skies,
“And built them I was there
“To order where the sun should rise,
“And marshal every star.

5 “When he pour’d out the sea,
“And spread the flowing deep,
“I gave the flood a firm decree,
“In its own bounds to keep.]

6 “Upon the empty air
The earth was balanc’d well;
“With joy I saw the mansion where
“The sons of men should dwell.

7 “My busy thoughts at first
“On their salvation ran,
“Ere sin was born, or Adam’s dust
“Was fashioned to a man.

8 “Then come, receive my grace,
“Ye children, and be wise;
“Happy the man that keeps my ways;
“The man that shuns them dies.”

Hymn 1:93. 
Christ, or wisdom, obeyed or resisted, Prov. 8. 31 35 36.

1 Thus saith the wisdom of the Lord,
“Bless’d is the man that hears my word,
“Keeps daily watch before my gates,
“And at my feet for mercy waits.

2 “The soul that seeks me shall obtain
“Immortal wealth and heavenly gain;
“Immortal life is his reward,
“Life, and the favour of the Lord.

3 “But the vile wretch that flies from me
“Doth his own soul an injury;
Fools that against my grace rebel
“Seek death, and love the road to hell.”

Hymn 1:94. 
Justification by faith, not by works; or, The law
condemns, grace justifies, Rom. 3. 19-22.
