Haste Thee, Sinner, Haste Away

Haste thee

sin­ner

haste away

Vengeance is at hand!

From de­struc­tion quick­ly flee

Flee at God’s com­mand:

No more in­quire.

Lo! the ci­ty’s doom is sealed;

Wrath from Heav’n shall be re­vealed

In li­quid fire!

Haste thee

sin­ner

haste away

From th’o’er­whelm­ing rain!

Break at once thy long de­lay

Stay not in the plain!

In threat­en­ing form

See the clouds ab­ove thy head

All around their folds are spread

O

flee the storm!

Haste thee

sin­ner

haste away

Ere the tem­pest falls!

Now the warn­ing voice ob­ey

While the Spir­it calls:

For re­fuge fly;

In the fate of So­dom see

What may quick­ly come to thee:

Why wilt thou die?

Haste thee

sin­ner

haste away

While ’tis mer­cy’s hour;

Harden not thy heart to­day

Through the tempt­er’s pow­er;

O

turn and live;

Jesus is the hid­ing place

Flee to Him

and trust His grace;

He will for­give.
