9712. Child Of Sin And Sorrow

1 Child of sin and sorrow, filled with dismay,
Wait not for the morrow, yield thee today:
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 whilst thou can borrow help from on high:
Grieve not that love which, from above,
Child of sin and sorrow, would bring thee nigh.

3 Child of sin and sorrow, the moments glide,
Like the flitting arrow, or the rushing tide;
E’er time is o’er, heaven’s grace implore;
Child of sin and sorrow, in Christ confide.

4 Child of sin and sorrow, cease now the tear;
Wait not for tomorrow, banish thy fear!
Christ now receives him who believes,
Child of sin and sorrow, be of good cheer!
