Lyics

Haste, 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's sun;

Thy probation may be o'er

Ere this evening's work is done.



Haste, O sinner! now return;

Stay not 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.
