Hymns

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.
