Alto: Miss Toy Frasier, 1902
Lyrics: Joseph Hart, 1759
Meter: Common Meter Double (8,6,8,6,8,6,8,6)
Vain man, thy found pursuits forbear,
Repent, thy end is nigh,
Death at the farthest can’t be far,
O think before thou die!
Reflect, thou hast a soul to save,
Thy sins, how high they mount,
What are thy hopes beyond the grave?
How stands that dark account?
