A Discant on Universalism 1842

March 4 1842 But is this true and will it stand

A house thus built up on the sand

When floods shall come and waters flow

And rains descend and whirl winds blow

Or will the sinners hope be riven

And he recal them fron earth to heaven

Oh sinful man be filled with dread

Ten thousand woes hang oer thy head

Though you may now while in your pride

Laugh at hell fire mock and deride

And think the narrow way is broad

But oh! alas for thy poor soul

Which may in fiery billows roll

And suffer from Jehovah's ire

The vengeance of eternal fire.

Be not deceived by satan's cry.

Which is ye shall not surely die --

But all thy sinful ways forsake.

So shall thou shun the burning lake

The price of this bill of Lies is 6 1/4 cts

for pure religion unites together
