A Collection of Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs #471
1 Can sinners hope for heaven,
Who love this world so well?
Or dream of future happiness,
While on the road to hell?
2 Shall they hosannas sing,
With an unhallowed tongue?
Shall palms adorn the guilty hand
Which does its neighbor wrong?
3 Thy grace, O God, alone,
Good hope can e'er afford!
The pardoned and the pure shall see
The glory of the Lord.
