362. Wach auf, o Mensch, vom Sündenschlaf

Wach auf, o Mensch, vom Sündenschlaf,
ermuntre dich, verlornes Schaaf,
und bessre bald dein leben.
Wach auf, es ist noch hohe Zeit,
es kommt hernach die Ewigkeit,
dir deinen Lohn zu geben.
Vielleicht ist heut der letzte tag,
wer weiß noch, wie man sterben mag.
