LXIV. Deserters, to the Camp return

1 Deserters, to the Camp return,
Resume your former post,
Bewail your Crimes, your Baseness mourn;
For yet Ye are not lost.

2 Your's is a sad a dang'rous Case,
Be humble, and repent;
Mercy you'll find, tho' e'er so base,
The Moment you relent.

3 Sinners are sav'd by Jesu's Blood,
How vile so e'er thy be;
Eternal Life's the Gift of God;
And Gifts are always free.

4 'Tis not by Works of Righteousness
Which any Man has done;
But God has sent his Son to bless;
Return, and kiss the Son.
