The way of the sinner

Hymnal: The Minstrel of Zion #114 (1845) First Line: In error's ways you vainly roam Refrain First Line: Eternal wisdom cries Lyrics: 1 In error's ways you vainly roam, They lead you not to peace or home; Why will you toil and labour so, To miss of heaven, and plunge in wo? Chorus: Eternal wisdom cries, Haste, sinner, to be wise; Forsake your sins without delay, And taste the Saviour's love to day. 2 The path in which you madly tread, With clouds and gloom is overspread; Bestrew'd with every secret snare, And ravenous beasts are prowling there. [Chorus] 3 Every successive step you take, But nears you to the burning lake: Each day your souls in sin remain, Bespeaks eternal years of pain. [Chorus] 4 And what reward can Satan give, That thus his slave, his drudge you live? Were you his sole, his chosen heir, Say, would you choose his throne to share? [Chorus] 5 Would you with foulest fiends resort, 'Midst flames sulphureous hold your court, Harassed with God's enduring ire, The vengeance of eternal fire? [Chorus] 6 Satan could not no more than this, Were all his aim your only bliss; A throne in hell! a crown of shame! A royal couch of livid flame! [Chorus] 7 But as the coiling serpent lies; As gleam the tiger's burning eyes; As springs the panther on his prey, So Satan lurks your souls to slay. [Chorus] 8 Not so our Master, Christ the Lord, Bestows on us the high reward; Eternal glory--crowns more bright Than deck the first-born sons of light. [Chorus] Tune Title: THE WAY OF THE SINNER
