LyicsHaste, O sinner, to be wise,
Stay not for the morrow's sun;
Wisdom warns thee from the skies
All the paths of death to shun.
Haste, and mercy now implore;
Stay not for the morrow' sun;
Thy probation may be o'er
Ere this evening's work is done.
Haste, O sinner, now return;
Stay nor for the morrow's sun;
Lest thy lamp should cease to burn
Ere salvation's work is done.
Haste, while yet thou canst be blest;
Stay not for the morrow's sun,
Death may thy poor soul arrest
Ere the morrow is begun.
