Let wilful sinners boast and say

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let wilful sinners boast and say, The Lord will never come: We need not fear a future day, Or wait a fearful doom. 2 The things wherof we have been told That they should come to pass; Are now just as they were of old, And will forever last. 3 For, since the fathers fell asleep, The world has took no change; Should God our crimes in mem'ry keep, That would be very strange. 4 Just so it was, before the flood, Tho' men had long been warn'd; They still despis'd the threats of God! And lived unconcern'd. 5 When long they had despis'd his grace; At last they found it true; When suddenly a change took place, Which prov'd their overthrow. 6 The righteous judgments of the Lord, At his appointed times; Proves daring sinners' just reward For all their guilt and crimes. Topics: 27th Sunday after Trinity Scripture: 2 Peter 3:3-13

Almighty grace, thy healing power How glorious, how divine! That can to bliss and life restore So vile a heart as mine. 5. Thy pardoning love, so free, so sweet, Dear Savior, I adore; O keep me at Thy sacred feet, And let me rove no more.
