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, where wilt thou flee?
Through that long to-morrow, eternity!
