Are sinners now so senseless grown
by Isaac Watts·1719·Meter 8.6.8.6 (CM)
Based on Ps 14
1
Are sinners now so senseless grown
That they the saints devour?
And never worship at thy throne,
Nor fear thine awful power?
2
Great God! appear to their surprise;
Reveal thy dreadful name;
Let them no more thy wrath despise,
Nor turn our hope to shame.
3
Dost thou not dwell among the just?
And yet our foes deride,
That we should make thy name our trust;
Great God! confound their pride.
4
O that the joyful day were come
To finish our distress!
When God shall bring his children home
Our songs shall never cease.
