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.
