Divine Songs for the Use of Children (1847)/XI. Heaven and Hell

by Isaac Watts

XI.—Heaven and Hell.

1There is beyond the sky, a heaven of joy and love;And holy children when they die, go to that world above.

2There is a dreadful hell, and everlasting pains,Where sinners must with devils dwell, in darkness, fire, and chains.

3Can such a wretch as I escape this cursed end?And may I hope whene'er I die, I shall to heaven ascend?

4Then will I read and pray, while I have life and breath,Lest I should be cut off to-day, and sent t' eternal death.
