The words
Verse 1. Hasten, sinner! to be wise,
Stay not for the morrow’s sun;
Wisdom, if thou still despise,
Harder is she to be won.
Verse 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.
Verse 3. Hasten, sinner! to return,
Stay not for the morrow’s sun,
Lest thy lamp should fail to burn,
Ere salvation’s work is done.
