Author: | Thomas Hastings |
Tune: | CHILD OF SIN AND SORROW |
Composer: | Thomas Hastings |
1 Child of sin and sorrow,
Filled with dismay,
Wait not for tomorrow,
Yield thee today.
Heav'n bids thee come
While yet there's room;
Child of sin and sorrow,
Hear and obey.
2 Child of sin and sorrow,
Why wilt thou die?
Come, while thou canst borrow
Help from on high:
Grieve not that love
Which from above,
Child of sin and sorrow,
Would bring thee nigh.
3 Child of sin and sorrow,
Thy moments glide,
Like the flitting arrow,
Or the rushing tide;
Ere time is o'er,
Heaven's grace implore;
Child of sin and sorrow
In Christ confide.
4 Child of sin and sorrow,
Where wilt thou be
Through that long to-morrow,
Eternity?
Exiled from home,
Darkly to roam,
Child of sin and sorrow,
Where wilt thou flee?
