202. Haste, O sinner! to be wise

1 Haste, O sinner! to be wise,
Stay not for the morrow’s sun;
Wisdom warns thee, from the skies,
All the paths of death to shun.

2 Haste, and mercy to implore;
Stay not for the morrow’s sun;
Thy probation may be o'er
Ere this evening's work is done.

3 Haste, O sinner! now return;
Stay not for the morrow’s sun;
Lest thy lamp should cease to burn
Ere salvation's work is done.

4 Haste, while yet thou canst be blest;
Stay not for the morrow’s sun,
Death may thy poor soul arrest
Ere the morrow is begun.
