the rich man - jeremiah ingalls lyrics

Loading...

come all ye poor sinners that from adam came
ye poor and ye blind, and ye halt and ye lame
submit to the gospel, upon its own terms
or you’ll burn for ever, like poor mortal worms

we read of a rich man, a beggar likewise:
the beggar he died and attained to a prize:
the rich man he died, and to his sad surprise
in h*ll he awaked, and lift up his eyes

seeing abram afar off in mansions above
and lazarus in his bosom in raptures of love
he cried, father abram, send to my rеlief
for i am tormented in pains and with griеf

he said, son remember when you lived so bold
dressed in your fine linen, and boasted of gold
the beggar lay at your door, wounded and poor
the dogs had compassion and l!cked his sore

besides, there’s a gulf fixed betwixt us, you see
so those that would, cannot pass from thence to me;
therefore you must lie, and lament your sad state
for now you are sending your cries up too late

he cried father abram i pray you provide
send one from the dead, i’ve five brothers beside;
in hearing from me, and believing my state
perhaps they will repent, before it’s too late
they have a rich gospel that spreads far and wide;
they’ve moses, the prophets, and apostles beside;
if they don’t adhere unto them and repent
they will not believe though one from the dead went

now therefore, dear sinners, take warning by this:
since death will soon fix your unchangeable state;
prepare to meet jesus, and give him your love
so when he appears, he’ll receive you above
