1 Hasten, sinner, to be wise,
Stay not for the morrow's sun;
The longer wisdom you despise,
The harder is she to be won.
2 Hasten, mercy to implor,
And stay not for the morrow's sun,
For fear thy season should be o'er
Before this evening's course be run.
3 Hasten, sinner, to return,
And stay not for the morrow's sun,
Lest thy lamp should fail to burn
E'er the needful work is done.
4 Hasten, sinner, to be blest,
And stay not for the morrow's sun,
Lest the curse should thee arrest
E'er the morrow is begun.
