Text:"Child of sin and sorrow"
Tune:CHILD OF SIN AND SORROW
Composer:S. W.

133. "Child of sin and sorrow"

1 Child of sin and sorrow,
Fill'd with dismay;
Wait not for tomorrow,
Yield thee today;
Heaven bids thee come,
While yet there's room;
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.
