Hasten, O sinner, to be wise,
And stay not for to-morrow’s sun;
The longer wisdom you despise,
The harder is she to be won.
Oh, hasten mercy to implore,
And stay not for to-morrow’s sun;
For fear thy season should be o’er
Before this evening’s stage be run.
Oh, hasten, sinner, to return,
And stay not for to-morrow’s sun;
For fear thy lamp should cease to burn,
Before the needful work is done.
Oh, hasten, sinner, to be blest,
And stay not for to-morrow’s sun;
For fear the curse should thee arrest
Before the morrow is begun.
O Lord, do thou the sinner turn;
Now rouse him from his senseless state;
Nor let him thy compassion spurn,
And rue his fatal choice too late.
