1 Let sinners take their course,
And choose the road to death,
But in the worship of my God
I'll spend my daily breath.
2 My thoughts address his throne,
When morning brings the light;
I seek his blessing every noon,
And pay my vows at night.
3 Thou wilt regard my cries,
O my eternal God!
While sinners perish in surprise,
Beneath thine angry rod.
4 Because they dwell at ease,
And no sad changes feel,
They neither fear, nor trust thy name,
Nor learn to do thy will.
5 But Iwith all my cares,
Will lean upon the Lord;
I'll cast my burdens on his arm,
6 His arm shall well sustain
The children of his love;
The ground on which their safety stands,
No earthly power can move.
