The Scoffer’s Folly

By Arthur V. Fox

By Arthur V. Fox
They say there is no God, and grim defiance fling At One my soul adores — my sovereign King. They pile their wisdom, arts, and store, As tho there were no evermore — No great beyond — no other shore — And thus insult my King.
They deem it low to pray, to trust in Christ the Lord. They sneer at praise, the written Word. Their threescore ten are spent in sin. They will not let my Saviour in, But revel in the world's mad din Till falls the avenging sword.
Cease now thy boast, vain man! God's wrath is deep and strong. Time soon will pass away. Eternity is long. There is no hope beyond the grave. Reject no more the love He gave; It was for thee. O, let Him save, And fill thy life with song!
