-:1. 'Where are the Mourners', saith the Lord,
-:Who wait and tremble at my Word?
-:Who walk in Darkness all the Day?
-:Come, make my Name your Trust and Stay.'
-:2. 'No Works, nor Duties, of your own,
-:Can for the smallest Sin atone;
-:The Robes which Nature may provide,
-:Will not your least Pollution hide.'
-:3. 'The softest Couch which Nature knows,
-:Can give the Conscience no repose:
-:Look to my Right'ousness, and live;
-:Comfort and Peace are mine to give.'
-:4. 'Ye Sons of Pride, who kindle Coals
-:With your own Hands to warm your Souls,
-:Walk in the Light of your own Fire,
-:Enjoy the Sparks which you desire.'
-:5. 'This is your Portion at my Hands;
-:Hell waits you with her iron Bands;
-:Ye shall lie down in Sorrow there,
-:In Death, in Darkness, and Despair.'
