Awake, awake, O Sinner, and repent,

And quarrel not because I thus alarm

Thy Soul, to save it from eternal harm.

Perhaps thou harborest such thoughts as these:

"I hope I may enjoy my carnal ease

A little longer, and myself refresh

With those delights that gratify the flesh,

And yet repent before it be too late,

And get into a comfortable state.

I hope I have yet many years to spend,
