Chapter 6 - The Seven Seals

Ah! better far

To cease the unequal war,

While pardon, hope, and peace may yet be

found;

Nor longer rush upon the embossed shield

Of the Almighty, but repentant yield,

And all your weapons of rebellion ground.

Better pray now in love, than pray ere long in

fear.

Call ye upon him, while he waits to hear;

So in the coming end,

When down the parted sky

The angelic hosts attend

The Lord of heaven, most high,

Before whose face the solid earth is rent,

You may behold in him a friend omnipotent,

And safely rest beneath his sheltering wings,

Amid the ruin of all earthly things.
