636. Heed not the tempter's siren voice

1 Heed not the tempter's siren voice,
A deep with dangers rife;
Mortal, thou hast a nobler choice
Life, life, eternal life.

2 O, shun the world's bewitching snare,
Its fever, and its strife;
Mortal, thou hast a nobler share
Life, life, eternal life.

3 Like Abram hast thou faith to bear
The sacrificial knife?
Then with the faithful thou shalt share
Life, life, eternal life.

4 For love of God canst thou lay down
Thy life 'mid hottest strife?
Then thou hast won a starry crown
Life, life, eternal life.
