Text: | Death, 'tis a melancholy day |
Author: | Isaac Watts |
Tune: | TRIBULATION |
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.
