Lyics

Child of sin and sorrow,

Fill'd with dismay,

Wait not for to-morrow,

Yield thee to-day:

Heaven bids thee come,

While yet there's room:

Child of sin and sorrow,

Hear and obey.



Child of sin and sorrow,

Why wilt thou die?

Come while thou canst borrow

Help from on high,

Grieve not that love,

Which from above-

Child of sin and sorrow,

Would bring thee nigh.
