Woe to the Prophets
Author: Charles P. Jones, 1865-1949 Meter: 5.8.11.8.11.8 with refrain Appears in 4 hymnals Refrain First Line: Woe, woe, woe! Lyrics: 1 Woe to the prophets,
Who God's blood-bought people deceive,
Who teach them to trust in their idols of dust,
And falsehood, not truth, to believe;
Who preach but for pay, and who lead men astray,
And daily God's Spirit do grieve.
Refrain:
Woe, woe, woe!
How fast to the judgment they go!
No God and no hope,
In darkness they grope,
By passion and greed, by habit and need
Bound hard unto sin,
No Savior within,
To judgment, to judgment they go.
2 Woe to the prophets,
Who for their false doctrines do fight,
Who eat, drink and play, (but they seldom do pray,)
Who trust in their numbers and might;
Who join hand in hand to enslave the whole land
The self-loving foes to the right. [Refrain]
3 Woe to the prophets,
False teachers who call evil good,
Who darkness call light and who call the wrong right,
To get filthy lucre and food.
Their judgment is come: oh, how awful their doom,
The doom of the truth-hating brood! [Refrain] Topics: The Gospel in the Christian Life Mission, Kingdom, Social Concern; Judgment Used With Tune: WOE TO THE PROPHETS
Woe to the Prophets
Woe to the Gamblers!
Author: Charles P. Jones Appears in 2 hymnals Refrain First Line: Woe, woe, woe! How fast to the judgment they go Lyrics: 1 Woe to the gamblers!
The leeches of passion and greed!
Dread parasites they, who work not, nor pray,
On other men's toil they do feed;
A dishonest store lies a curse at their door,
The vultures of passion and greed!
Refrain:
Woe, woe, woe! How fast to the judgment they go!
No God and no hope, in darkness they grope,
By passion and greed, by habit and need
Bound hard unto sin, and no Saviour within,
To judgment, dead judgment they go.
2 Woe to the gamblers!
The soul-snaring demons of night!
And many's the lad now gone to the bad,
That might have been happy and right;
They've led them to sin, to be useless and mean,
Those mother's own darlings so bright. [Refrain]
3 Woe to the gamblers!
The drunkards and wife-beaters, too!
Adulterers vile with their demon-born smile!
Oppressors, woe, woe unto you!
The worlding so gay who lives only to play,
The covetous miser and shrew! [Refrain] Topics: Judgment Used With Tune: [Woe to the gamblers]
Woe to the Gamblers!
