So man departs to heaven or hell,
Fix'd in the state wherein he dies.

Additional quotes by Isaac Watts

One stroke of his almighty rod
Shall send young sinners quick to hell.

There's not a place where we can flee,
But God is present there.

Lord, I ascribe it to thy grace,
And not to chance as others do,
That I was born of Christian race,
And not a Heathen, or a Jew.
