Preserved and called by God with mercy multiplied
Contend for the faith once delivered never denied
For ungodly men creep in turning grace into pride

Like Israel saved then destroyed when they lost sight
Angels leaving their estate chained until the great fight
Sodom and Gomorrha set forth as examples of eternal plight
