lirik lagu a word to the calvinists - ghizela rowe - anne bronte

you may rejoice to think yourselves secure
you may be grateful for the gift divine
that grace unsought which made your black hearts pure
and fits your earthborn souls in heaven to shine
but is it sweet to look around and view
thousands excluded from that happiness
which they deserve at least as much as you
their faults not greater nor their virtues less?

and wherefore should you love your god the more
because to you alone his smiles are given
because he chose to pass the many o’er
and only bring the favoured few to heaven?

and wherefore should your hearts more grateful prove
because for all the saviour did not die?
is yours the god of justice and of love
and are your bosoms warm with charity?

say does your heart expand to all mankind
and would you ever to your neighbour do
— the weak, the strong, the enlightened and the blind ~
as you would have your neighbour do to you?

and, when you, looking on your fellow men
behold them doomed to endless misery
how can you talk of joy and rapture then?
may god withhold such cruel joy from me!
that none deserve eternal bliss i know:
unmerited the grace in mercy given
but none shall sink to everlasting woe
that have not well deserved the wrath of heaven

and, o! there lives within my heart
a hope long nursed by me
(and should its cheering ray depart
how dark my soul would be)

that as in adam all have died
in christ shall all men live
and ever round his throne abide
eternal praise to give;

that even the wicked shall at last
be fitted for the skies
and when their dreadful doom is past
to life and light arise

i ask not how remote the day
nor what the sinner’s woe
before their dross is purged away
enough for me to know

that when the cup of wrath is drained
the metal purified
they’ll cling to what they once disdained
and live by him that died
