The giddy world, with flattering tongue,
Had charm'd my soul astray,
And lur'd my heedless feet to death
Along the flow'ry way.
My heart, with agonizing pray'r,
Besought the Lord to save;
Unseen he seiz'd my trembling hand.
And brought me from the grave.
He broke the charm, which drew my feel
To darkness and the dead:
From lips profane, and tongues impure,
With quiv'ring steps I fled.
Homeward I flew to find my God,
And seek his face divine,
Restored to peace, to hope, to life.
To Zion's friends, and mine.
