That man can't be prevail'd upon Tho' with our strong desire, To get prepar'd against the Day When all the World on Fire Shall burn and blaze about their Heads, And they no Shelter have; No Rock to hide their guilty Heads, No, nor no watery Grave. For Rocks will melt like Wax away Before the dreadful Heat, And Earth and Sea and all will flame In one consuming Heap. The Earth beneath abounds with Stores Of Oils and Sulphurs too, And Turfs and Coals, which all will Flame, When God commands the blow. The flaming Lightning which we see Around the Heavens run, Do livelily now represent The Conflagration. Those flaming magazines of God Have fire enough in store, And only wait their Lord's commands To let us feel their power. When once receiv'd they then will run, They'll run from Pole to Pole, And all the strength of Earth and Hell Cannot their power controle. Justly may we now stand amaz'd, At God's abundant Grace, To think so base and vile a World Is not all in a Blaze; When far the greatest part thereof Are poor vile Infidels, Among the Christian part thereof Are sins as black as Hell.
