AD ASTRA: 92 by CHARLES WHITWORTH WYNNE

First Line: FOREWARN'D , THEY HAD THEIR FATE BEFORE THEIR EYES
Last Line: AND DRAG THEIR GENERATIONS IN THE DUST.
Subject(s): GOD; RELIGION; THEOLOGY;
Forewarn'd, they had their fate before their eyes—
Freewill to choose Jehovah for their King,
To make of self a loving sacrifice,
And give Him of their heart's best offering,
Or freedom to their own blind wills to cling,
To set up idols of insensate lust
And drag their generations in the dust.
