SONG
XIII
.
The
Danger
of
Delay
.
I.
WHY
should
I
say
,
"
'Tis
yet
too
soon
"
To
seek
for
Heaven
,
or
think
of
Death
?
"
A
Flow'r
may
fade
before
'tis
Noon
,
And
I
this
Day
may
lose
my
Breath
.
II
.
If
this
rebellious
Heart
of
mine
Despise
the
gracious
Calls
of
Heav'n
,
I
may
be
harden'd
in
my
Sin
,
And
never
have
Repentance
giv'n
.
III
.
What
if
the
LORD
grow
wrath
and
swear
,
While
I
refuse
to
read
and
pray
,
That
he'll
refuse
to
lend
an
Ear
To
all
my
Grones
another
Day
?
IV
.
What
if
his
dreadful
Anger
burn
,
While
I
refuse
his
offer'd
Grace
,
And
all
his
Love
to
Fury
turn
,
And
strike
me
dead
upon
the
Place
?
V.
'Tis
dang'rous
to
provoke
a
GOD
!
His
Pow'r
and
Veng'ance
none
can
tell
;
One
Stroke
of
his
Almighty
Rod
Shall
send
young
Sinners
quick
to
Hell
.
VI
.
Then
'twill
for
ever
be
in
vain
,
To
cry
for
Pardon
and
for
Grace
:
To
wish
I
had
my
Time
again
,
Or
hope
to
see
my
Maker's
Face
.
