"Original Sacred Harp" (Denson Revision) 1960 Edition ‎#29b

29b. Death, 'tis a melancholy day

1 Death, ’tis a melancholy day To those who have no God, When the poor soul is forced away, To seek her last abode. 2 In vain to heav’n she lifts her eyes, For guilt, a heavy chain, Still drags her downward from the skies To darkness, fire, and pain.
