Let Sinners Take Their Course

Let sin­ners take their course

And choose the road to death;

But in the wor­ship of my God

I’ll spend my dai­ly breath.

My thoughts ad­dress His throne

When morn­ing brings the light;

I’ll seek His bless­ing ev­ery noon

And pay my vows at night.

Thou wilt re­gard my cries

O my eter­nal God

While sin­ners per­ish in sur­prise

Beneath Thine ang­ry rod.

Because they dwell at ease

And no sad chang­es feel

They nei­ther fear nor trust Thy name

Nor learn to do Thy will.

But I with all my cares

Will lean up­on the Lord:

I’ll cast my bur­dens on His arm

And rest upon His Word.

His arm shall well sus­tain

The child­ren of His love;

The ground on which their safe­ty stands

No earth­ly pow­er can move.
