Child of Sin and Sorrow

Verse 1

Child of sin and sorrow, Filled with dismay, Wait not for tomorrow, Yield thee today. Heav'n bids thee come While yet there's room; Child of sin and sorrow, Hear and obey.

Verse 2

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.

Verse 3

Child of sin and sorrow, Thy moments glide, Like the flitting arrow, Or the rushing tide; Ere time is o'er, Heaven's grace implore; Child of sin and sorrow In Christ confide.

Verse 4

Child of sin and sorrow, Where wilt thou be Through that long to-morrow, Eternity? Exiled from home, Darkly to roam, Child of sin and sorrow, Where wilt thou flee?
