about

Composed in 1793 by Daniel Read. Words by Isaac Watts.

Daniel Read of New Haven, Connecticut, was one of the earliest and most influential of American fuging-tune writers. A merchant and a publisher, he was, like most of his counterparts, only a part-time singing teacher and composer.

lyrics

Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I,
To mourn, and murmur, and repine,
To see the wicked placed on high,
In pride and robes of honor shine.
But, oh, their end, their dreadful end,
Thy sanctuary taught me so,
On slipp'ry rocks I see them stand,
And fiery billows roll below.
