4 Though his majesty be great,
His mercy is no less ;
Though he thy transgressions hate,
He feels for thy distress :
By himself the Lord has sworn,
He delights not in thy death ;
But invites thee to return,
That thou may st live by faith.
5 Raise thy downcast eyes, and see
What throngs his throne surround!
These, though sinners once like thee,
Have full salvation found:
Yield not then to unbelief,
While he says, " There yet is room ;
Though of sinners, thou art chief,
Since Jesus calls thee, come.

When God speaks in thunder,
And makes himself known.
2 With terror I read
My sins heavy score,
The number exceed
The sands on the shore :
