A preacher on the fence
From out of the millions of the earth
God
often calls a man
To preach the Word, and for the
truth
To take a royal stand.
‘Tis
sad to see him shun the Cross,
Nor stand in its
defence
Between the fields of right and
wrong:
A preacher on the fence.
Before him are the souls of
men
Bound for Heaven or Hell;
An
open Bible in his hand,
And yet he will not
tell
All the truth that’s written there,
It haveth an offence—
The joys of Heaven,
the horrors of Hell—
A preacher on the
fence.
Now surely God has called the man
To battle
for the right.
‘Tis his to ferret out the
wrong
And turn on us the light.
And yet he dare not tell the truth,
He fears
the consequence.
The most disgusting thing on
earth
Is a preacher on the fence.
If he should stand up for the
wrong,
The right he’d not defend;
If he should stand up for the right,
The
wrong he would offend.
His mouth is closed, he
cannot speak
For freedom or against.
Great God deliver us from
A preacher on the
fence.
But soon both sides will find him out
And
brand him as a fraud,
A coward who dares not to
please
The devil or his God.
Oh
God, free us from fear of man,
From cowardly
pretence;
Cleanse out the dross and fear of
loss,
And keep us off the fence.
