Fearful Fight

"Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Behold I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands... And I Myself will fight against you" (Jeremiah 21:4,5). "If it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God" (Acts 5:39).

Foolish, fearful, feeble fight!
To war with God is folly's height!
Oh sinner turn, find terms of peace;
Let your war with God now cease!

The terms of peace have all been set.
The holy claims of God are met.
For Jesus Christ was crucified,
And God is thereby satisfied.

Drop your weapons! Come surrender,
That Christ may now be your Defender.
Come now, you who hear His voice!
Tomorrow may not grant that choice.
