Composer:Thomas Hastings

421. Child of sin and sorrow

1 Child of sin and sorrow,
Filled with dismay.
Wait not for tomorrow,
Yield thee to-day:
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.
