Hymn 279 – SINNER, prepare now to be wise | C&S English Hymnary

1. SINNER, prepare now to be wise Tarry not oft to the morrow As long as wisdom thought deride Wisdom the more hidden will be. 2. Get ready for mercy to ask Tarry not oft to the morrow Before thy days on earth are o'er Before earthly sunset arrives. 3. Prepare, O sinner to return Tarry not on to the morrow So thou be not accursed become Ere shall tomorrow‘s day arise. 4. Prepare thy blessing to receive Tarry not Oh to the morrow Hence now thy lamp burning and trimmed Hence now the new dawn shall arise. 5. Lord, make the sinner to repent From foolish slumber him arouse The wisdom may he not declined And to doom may he not reclined AMEN
