Can Sinners Hope for Heaven?

Can sin­ners hope for Heav’n

Who love this world so well;

Or dream of fu­ture hap­pi­ness

While on the road to hell?

Shall they ho­san­nas sing

With an un­hal­lowed tongue;

Shall palms adorn the guil­ty hand

Which does its neigh­bor wrong?

Can sin’s de­ceit­ful way

Conduct to Zi­on’s hill;

Or those ex­pect with God to reign

Who dis­re­gard His will?

’Tis naught but grace di­vine

Can so­lid hope af­ford;

The pure in heart alone shall see

The glo­ry of the Lord.
