Escape For Thy Life

Verse 1

Hasten, O sinner, to be wise, And stay not for the morrow’s sun; The longer wisdom you despise, The harder is she to be won.

Verse 2

O hasten mercy to implore, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy season should be o’er Before this evening’s course be run.

Verse 3

Hasten, O sinner, to return, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear thy lamp should fail to burn Before the needful work is done.

Verse 4

Hasten, O sinner, to be blest, And stay not for the morrow’s sun, For fear the curse should thee arrest Before the morrow is begun.

Verse 5

Amen.
