Repent aright, and sinning cease,

Lest heavy guilt be found on thee.

He who forsakes the Lord Most High

For love of sin, sinks deep in woes;

The evils wrought in secresy

Full well the Eye all-searching knows.

Let these be thoughts for Adam’s race;

To me they do not seem untrue;

Men for a time may know their place,

But death at last they can’t eschew.
