Tune: Rivaulx
('Father of heaven, whose love profound')
Hebrews 10 v.26-30
*******
In godly fear take heed that we
Do not fall to sin wilfully
After we have received knowledge
Of the truth, that a privilege
For if we so sin there remains
No more cleansing for our sins stains
No other sacrifice can be
But Jesus' life on the cross, see
There then be fearful looking for
His judgement, indignation sure
Which shall devour adversary
Punishment, torment it shall be
They that despised Moses' law true
Were put to death, it did ensue
No mercy, two, three witnesses
Did the sinners ways there confess
Of how much worse the punishment
Shall they be worthy, who have lent
Themselves to thus tread underfoot
The Son of God, their faith uproot
And have counted the blood He shed
Of covenant, that flowed out red
Wherewith we are thus sanctified
They count it unholy, denied
And if we have to the Spirit
Done despite, then our fate is writ
For vengeance is the Lord's, He will
Judge us, and repay us with ill
But if we turn to Him, repent
Maintaining a state, penitent
He will us love, forgive, restore
keep us in His way holy, pure

Another bright write Orchi
Thanks Michael. In a way it's not 'bright' - the theme of it, if we 'fall by the wayside' on purpose. But still hope, as in the last stanza.
Thanks STEVE for another uplifting duo ! Fine HYMN and a Fine Poem with a warning in the tale ~ Yours BRIAN
Eeek! Thanks Brian. But we know it's not always 'Gentle Jesus, meek and mild'. And yet in the Old Testament they more often had to deal with 'raw' God.
Good one once more Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
