SONG
XVIII
.
Against
Scoffing
and
calling
Names
.
I.
OUR
Tongues
were
made
to
bless
the
LORD
,
And
not
speak
ill
of
Men
;
When
others
give
a
railing
Word
,
We
must
not
rail
again
.
II
.
Cross
Words
and
angry
Names
require
To
be
chastis'd
at
School
;
And
He's
in
Danger
of
Hell-fire
That
calls
his
Brother
Fool
.
III
.
But
Lips
that
dare
be
so
profane
,
To
mock
and
jeer
and
scoff
At
holy
Things
or
holy
Men
,
The
LORD
shall
cut
them
off
.
IV
.
When
Children
in
heir
wanton
Play
Serv'd
old
ELISHA
so
;
And
bid
the
Prophet
go
his
Way
,
"
Go
up
,
thou
Bald-Head
,
go
.
"
V.
GOD
quickly
stopp'd
their
wicked
Breath
,
And
sent
two
raging
Bears
,
That
tore
them
Limb
from
Limb
to
Death
,
With
Blood
and
Groans
and
Tears
.
VI
.
Great
GOD
,
how
terrible
are
Thou
To
Sinners
e'er
so
young
!
Grant
me
thy
Grace
,
and
teach
me
how
To
tame
and
rule
my
Tongue
.
