about

A classic shape-note song published in 1785 by New England composer Daniel Read (1757-1836).

lyrics

Lord what a thoughtless wretch was I
To mourn and murmur and repine
To see the wicked placed on high
In pride and robes of honor shine

But oh their end, their dreadful end
Thy sanctuary taught me so
On slipp'ry rocks I see them stand
And fiery billows roll below

Now let them boast how tall they rise
I'll never envy them again;
There they may stand with haughty eyes
'Till they plunge deep in endless pain
