Lyics

SINNER! rouse thee from thy sleep,

Wake--and o'er thy folly weep;

Raise thy spirit, dark and dead,

Jesus waits his light to shed.



Wake from sleep--arise from death--

See the bright and living path:

Watchful tread that path--be wise,

Leave thy folly--seek the skies.



Leave thy folly--cease from crime,

From this hour redeem thy time;

Life secure, without delay,

Evil is thy mortal day.



Oh! then, rouse thee from thy sleep,

Wake! and o'er thy folly weep;

Jesus calls from death and night,

Jesus waits to shed his light.
