Hymn 201
Hasten, sinner, to be wise!
Meter: 7.7.7.7.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 9:10
1
Hasten, sinner, to be wise!
Stay not for the morrow’s sun:
Wisdom, if you still despise,
Harder is it to be won.
2
Hasten, mercy to implore!
Stay not for the morrow’s sun;
Lest thy season should be o’er,
Ere this evening’s stage be run.
3
Hasten, sinner, to return!
Stay not for the morrow’s sun;
Lest thy lamp should fail to burn
Ere salvation’s work is done.
4
Hasten, sinner, to be blest!
Stay not for the morrow’s sun,
Lest perdition thee arrest,
Ere the morrow is begun.
