Hymn 219
Prepare O sinner to be wise
Meter: L.M.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 6:2
1
Prepare O sinner to be wise,
Do not wait until tomorrow;
As long as you deride wisdom,
The more hidden wisdom will be.
2
Get ready to ask for mercy,
Do not wait until tomorrow;
Before thy days on earth are o'er,
Before this world’s sunset arrives.
3
Prepare, O sinner to return,
Do not wait until tomorrow;
So you do not become accurs'd
Before tomorrow’s day begins.
4
Prepare to receive a blessing,
Do not wait until tomorrow;
So that your lamp does not burn out
Before you begin a new life.
5
Lord, make the sinner to repent,
Rouse him from his foolish slumber;
May he not kick against wisdom
And be slack concerning his doom.
