LyicsSTOP, poor sinner, stop and wonder
See your sins like mountains rise;
How astonishing the number!
Higher mounting than the skies:
Cry for mercy-
Dread the death that never dies.
See the precious blood of Jesus,
Streaming from the 'cursed tree;
Will not this suffice to grieve us?
Jesus spilt that blood for thee:
Come, then, sinner-
And his great salvation see.
See yon sun how swift he hasteth,
Round the circuit of the skies;
How the golden moment wasteth,
Sinners, pray at length be wise:
O he's setting-
And may set no more to rise.
