Hasten, sinner! to be wise,

Stay not for the morrow's sun;

Wisdom, if thou still despise,

Harder is she to be won.

2 Hasten, mercy to implore,

Stay not for the morrow's sun,

Lest thy season should be o'er,

Ere this evening's stage be run.

3 Hasten, sinner! to return,

Stay not for the morrow's sun,
